More belated gifts, of a sort...
What with having time off and all the holiday exchange fanfiction, I have read some truly great stories. Hence, you get fanfic recommendations from me, as a belated Christmas gift.
The Sleeper Awakes (Harry Potter fandom)
Title: The Sleeper Awakes
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Percy Weasley, Dolores Umbridge, Pius Thicknesse, Aberforth Dumbledore
Summary: "It's been coming on for a while," said Percy … "But I had to find a way out and it's not so easy at the Ministry, they're imprisoning traitors all the time." (DH, ch. 30). This is how Percy arrived at that point. Written for the Harry Potter Holiday genfic exchange.
all the history is just a mystery to me (Bourne Identity fandom)
Title: all the history is just a mystery to me
Fandom: Bourne Identity series (movie)
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Jason Bourne alias David Webb, Nicky Parsons
Summary: Jason tries starting over again as David. Nicky helps him find out who he was, and who he could be. Written for Yuletide 2007.
Comments: Sophia, you got a great story as a gift! So it's not my discovery exactly, but I wanted to save this here...
The First Year After (Dorothy L. Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey fandom)
Title: The First Year After
Fandom: Dorothy L. Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey series
Rating: G
Characters: Harriet Vane, Peter Wimsey, Charles Parker
Summary: In the year after Harriet Vane is acquitted of murder, she, Peter, and Charles Parker must learn to live with one another. Written for Yuletide 2007.
Comments: It's interesting to imagine how those three coped immediately after Harriet's aquittal. From the information we get in the later books, especially Gaudy Night, one could guess it wasn't an easy time for any of them. I think the author here wrote a very plausible, highly enjoyable piece, perhaps a bit darker in tone than Sayers.
Ducenti Quinquaginta (Dorothy L. Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey fandom)
Title: Ducenti Quinquaginta
Fandom: Dorothy L. Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey series
Rating: PG
Characters: Harriet Vane, Peter Wimsey
Summary: Four double drabbles and a half, set directly after Gaudy Night. Written for Yuletide 2007.
Comments: Picks up the clues from “Busman’s Honeymoon” nicely. The tone is perfect and it's simply sweet in a non-saccharine kind of way.
