CRIME RECS FOR EASTER
In Norway, Easter is crime-time. So I thought I'd spread this most worthy tradition by making a crime rec page. Under crime there's also horror and ghost stories, so I've included a couple of those as well.
This is about plot, yo.
Well, except the from left field section which is mostly fics that makes me laugh and can be put under 'crime' if you squint...
My name is Marlowe...
Snake Oil by Martha -- Jim and Blair. Gen. Horror. Classic.
X-Manson by Benway -- The X-Men. Summary from comicfic.net: Possibly the scariest and most original twist ever written on the residents of the Xavier Institute, this story follows an else-worlds tale (or is it?) in the style of a documentary... painting a picture of Xavier and his followers in a way that will most assuredly astound and disturb you.
note: Will scare the socks off you.
A Legacy for Her Enlightenment by Flourish. Tonks is a Black and at 12 Grimmauld Place, she learns the truth of this. Creepy. Horror.
Stop All the Clocks by Lazy_neutrino. Author summary: "I thought that love would last forever: 'I was wrong.'"
On Harry's sixteenth birthday, he and Lupin are still coming to terms with Sirius' death. But how do you cope when you've lost everything?
Romance amidst the blood
Breathless and Solidarity by Sleeps with Coyotes -- Krycek/Mulder. Case-file. Mytharch. Author summary: BREATHLESS: While Mulder investigates an X-File, Krycek tracks down a runner - but when the two collide, can Mulder and Krycek work through the past and learn to work together? and SOLIDARITY: Krycek ditches Mulder to take an assignment that lands him in the center of the game, but when Mulder is asked to assist a profiler in the same area, the trail leads him into the mountains towards a terrifying secret...
note: Creed and Kyler who appear in Solidarity are damn cool, as is the alien. *nods*
Ghosts and Lovers by torch -- Krycek/Mulder. Case-file. Classic. Author summary: GHOSTS: Krycek returns from Russia and seeks Mulder's help in investigating a case. Mulder, Scully and Krycek form an uneasy alliance, but nothing is as it seems in the small town of Leyden Creek. and LOVERS: A former colleague of Mulder's asks for help with a serial killer. Mulder and Scully arrive in San Francisco to find that they aren't the only ones to take a special interest in this case.
In a Dark Time: Sleepless by A. Leigh-Anne Childe -- Krycek/Mulder. Episode based. Author summary: This contains, along with my own original work, all of the "Sleepless" dialogue, transcribed verbatim and complete save for a very few scenes. I’ve altered no line whatsover-despite being on occasion sorely tempted. No plagiarism or copyright infringement is intended. Basically, this represents an attempt to expand on "pre-existing" events and conversations in a logical, continuity-consistent manner. . .
The Gift of an Enemy by Sylvia -- Krycek/Mulder. Casefile. Mulder gets an alien visitor who initiates, er, talks, by offering, according to their tradition, the gift of an enemy. At the same time, Mulder is assigned on a missing persons case in Weimar, Pennsylvania. Pretty damn creepy at times.
Cadenza by Terma99 -- Mulder/OMC. Casefile. Ghosts/horror. Author summary: Mulder and Scully return to San Francisco to protect a cursed violin virtuoso whose life is being threatened by mysteries from his past.
note: Love this story.
Lust over Pendle and Dissipation and Despair by AJ Hall -- Draco/Neville. From the author's introduction: Lust Over Pendle is a comedy of manners set in the Golden Age detective thriller genre, and is presumed to take place after the end of the seventh Harry Potter book, and, therefore, after the fall of Voldemort. and for DISSIPATION AND DESPAIR: After offending his Bishop, the Rev. Peter Blakeney had feared he would be stuck for the rest of his career in rough inner city curacies. Even though his letter of appointment bore an anonymous scrawl "Best of British luck", the surprise offer of the incumbency of St Sebastian's Church, Malfoy Intrinsica, Wiltshire seemed like the promise of a rural idyll. And though the foot and mouth epidemic was in full swing, there were sinister carvings behind the choir stalls and all the locals changed the subject immediately if he even mentioned the Manor up the hill (let alone its reclusive Lord) he felt he was settling in well. Until one night there came a tap at his study window, and he found himself caught between two worlds, and about to find out exactly why St Sebastian is the patron saint of archers, enemies of religion, gardeners, murrains of cattle, plagues and police. It is a cosy English village whodunnit in the classic tradition, give or take an Unforgivable curse or so.
