Challenge #8: Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Every time someone asks for recs I'm always like 'I read a bunch! Hang on!" and then... can't come up with anything specific. Last year's accidental theme was for this was crossovers, the year before's AUs and I think this year I'll go with tiny fandoms:
Nooks and Crannies (series- The Big Valley fandom, 9 works, 65k total) My summary: A look at The Big Valley through Silas' eyes, mostly in the form of retelling of each episode. 9 works so far with occasional updates. Silas was the only non-Barkley regular and I love this take on how he feels about Heath suddenly being part of the Barkley family.
The Barricade (The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne fandom, 22k) Summary: "A little Dickens, by way of a lonely French writer, can be a dangerous thing." This is a wonderful look at where things might have gone post series but through the eyes of a crofters's daughter and her friends who learn there is "a Frenchman" living in a nearby cottage. I love the way the kids are written in this and the amazement they have in books and things from the world outside their immediate area.
Cut off at the Knees (Nero Wolfe fandom, 4k) Summary: "Archie takes a beating, requiring Wolfe to adapt to temporary life without his legs." Admittedly, this was written for me, but it's an absolutely wonderful look at Wolfe and the whole crew and what might happen if he can't rely on Archie to work a case.
Left the Prairies in My Heart (Heartland fandom, 1.5k) Summary: "Ty calls; Jack answers. How else does family work?" Another one written for me, it's a S2e1 tag and wonderfully spot on for how deeply Jack feels for both Amy and Ty and absolutely lovely.
Begged, Stolen, and Borrowed Time (Haven fandom, 2k) Summary: " If a person can come back from the dead, maybe a friendship has a chance, too." An s3e8 tag and nice look at the friendship Duke and Nathan might have had once upon a time and how they work together to make happy memories for Audrey.
And this is a crossover with a big fandom but...
Moustery and its remix of a sort, A Study in Human Observation (both 1.5-2k) wherein Doctors John Watson and David Q. Dawson (of the Sherlock Holmes books and The Great Mouse Detective) share a secret.
