PoI Recs
The Room Above Pooja's by blacktop50. Gen, Reese-centric.
A great look at where Reese lives. The show doesn't give us much "off hour" Reese. The fic fills in some of the gaps. On-point characterization notes, OC that fills out the universe and enhances the canon character, fabulous sensory descriptions. Be sure to also check out the follow-up, Pooja's New Tiffin Wallah.
Enigma by mareen. Reese/Finch, NC-17.
I wasn't going to read this in all honesty, because the summary mentions hookers, and that's one of those key words I tend to avoid. But it's SO not even remotely close to what the fic ends up actually being. It's John, trying to figure Finch out, in a way that is very very facepalm inducing and yet it is SO something he would do. It's a slow build, which I appreciate, because Reese/Finch is one of those pairings that moves forward with the momentum of a glacier. The writer did an admirable job of getting them to cross the divide in a way that's believable.
Biting Your Own Neck by livenudebigfoot. Reese/Fusco, R.
No, not a typo. That's Reese/Fusco. This fic BLEW. MY. MIND. I'm not sure I can look at Reese and Fusco on TV in the same way ever again, and I guess you'll have to prepare yourself for that. It's amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing. It's Fusco's fic, all the way. His struggle and self-loathing and desire for something bigger than himself. The character establishing line for Fusco was in the pilot, when John says that Fusco is corrupt out of loyalty and not greed. This fic encapsulates that. Loyalty, and obedience.
