Rare fandom recs
I've been meaning to scrape together a rare-lit recs set for more months than I can count but keep failing to get around to it, so here's a few recs from rare fandoms on account...
Georgette Heyer
Ajax Renown'd, by Grond
Heyer fic is unusual enough, Heyer fic that avoids the usual suspects even more so. Grond manages to keep the character voices intact whilst taking their bodies in directions Ms Heyer wouldn't dream of (Unknown Ajax)
Rome, by Ishafel
'It was not Hugh's battle, but he could not stop himself from fighting.' Nicely written, with beautifully realised characters (These Old Shades)
PG Wodehouse
Much looking forward to the recommendations on Crack_van this month, but here's one in advance...
Jeeves and the Blessed Indiscretion, by Shalott
'The rest proved remarkably straightforward, at least when one discounts the cat, the housemaid, and the fire…' Unusually for this fandom, Bertie is the prime mover in this deftly written piece, and the inevitable denouement is also accompanied by more than the usual dollop of plot
Yes, Minister
A Completely Authorised Biography, by Lakester
'Sir Humphrey found Jim Hacker to be -- not only an open book -- but one with large colourful illustrations.' Amusing sketch that captures Sir Humphrey's voice remarkably well
