Fic Recs--Lie To Me, Burn Notice, Fringe, Persuasion, FNL
I've been slowly doing some reading over at Yule Tide and various other places. (I'm only through 'N' on the fandoms.) Here's my recs so far.
Boundaries by teyla (Lie To Me--Cal, Emily, Zoe)
Proof is always better than trust. Or is it?
This is an amazing look at what Cal's job affects his relationships with his wife and daughter, no matter how hard he tries not to let them. This is also a great look at Emily, the ways she deals with Cal, how well she understands him, even when her attempt to get around him fail as always. This is an Emily trying to be her own woman with a father that makes it impossible. Great, great fic.
Five Things Madeline Knows by myystic (Burn Notice--Madeline, Michael, Nate, Frank)
About her family.
This is a great look at my favorite character on Burn Notice. It gives us a great look at the Westen family, and shows so clearly just how much Madeline sees, and how much she pretends not to.
13 Ways of Looking at Betrayal by rivkat (Fringe--Olivia, Peter, Walter, Astrid, Peter/Olivia)
Sometimes the crossing isn't as difficult as the arrival.
This is a great fic about what happens after Olivia crosses back over and Peter's confession. It's about how she deals with the mess the other Olivia has left behind, and how things slowly, slowly, slowly may be okay again someday.
everything in its right place by vnilla (Fringe--Alternate Astrid)
In the alternate universe, Astrid notices some changes in Agent Dunham.
How much do I love that Fringe gave us these wonderful alternative universe characters? And made us love them just as much as the originals, just in different ways? This is a great and slightly heart breaking look at the life of Alternative Astrid.
Armistice Summer by Reading Redhead (Austen, Persuasion--Anne Elliot/Frederick Wentworth)
In the summer of 1806, Anne Elliot meets Commander Wentworth for the first time.
There is something about the restraint and quiet of Persuasion that will always make it my favorite Jane Austen story. This is a nice look at how they could have met and first fallen in love.
Two-part harmony by dafna (Austen, Persuasion--Anne Elliot/Frederick Wentworth)
In which Anne explains how she came to play the piano-forte so well and Frederick tells the story of the first Captain Wentworth.
Anne and Frederick after they have reconciled but before they have told anyone else. Nice, quiet scene and just what I love about these two.
bright and clear by hardlygolden (Friday Night Lights--Tami/Eric)
"Eric Taylor," she declares, "you are my hero." Two decades later, he still is.
My love for these two is no secret. This is a great look at their lives together, and how much they love their family. Short and sweet with great characterizations.
