A few recs for djin7 and anyone else who likes Sharpe. *crickets* (Oh, come on. Doesn't that lovely man in my icon tempt you?) I really want more Sharpe/Harper, but the pairing of choice appears to be Sharpe/[Viggo Mortensen].

Pearl Traders by Gloria Mundi (viva-gloria) | Sharpe/OMC, NC17, short story. Sharpe brings some keepsakes from India to a jewelry buyer who is clearly modeled after Viggo Mortensen. Ahem. Okay, PWP-ish, but nicely written and hot. There is also a sequel.

Into the Woods by Gloria Mundi (viva-gloria) | Sharpe/Aragorn (a tiny bit of implied Aragorn/Boromir), crossover with LotR, PG13, short story. Sharpe and Aragorn get lost in their respective forests and bump into each other. This is my favorite type of crossover, in which the actor-identity connects the characters, and it is beautifully written. If you read only one of the stories I'm reccing today, read this one.

Sharpe's Phantom by splix | Sharpe/Diego Alatriste, crossover-ish, NC17, short story. A wounded Sharpe takes refuge in a castle haunted by Viggo Mortensen a 17th-century Spanish captain. It's a clever crossover idea, and hey, a little ghost rimming never goes amiss.

My Hero by anna_rosa | Sharpe vid. The music would be a little jarring were it not for the sad truth that the battle scenes in the series are all set to really inappropriate music, la la la. The clips are nicely chosen and it's actually cut to the beat, unlike 99% of the junk I watched on YouTube while searching for Sharpe vids.

Also, these and the previous couple of batches of recs are now on my website so I am all caught up!

recs:sharpe, recs:vids, recs, lotr, recs:lotr, sharpe
