Staff Recommendations for the week of June 27th - July 3rd, 2010
- ★ - [part seven: fill] Theodore Yogi Adams- Washington Bear [America, grizzly bear, ensemble] - America brings his friend to the meeting. The other Nations are not so much disapproving as terrified.
Staffer's Review: While a brief fill, it is full of laughs. In case the name didn't give it away, it is a delightful combination of hilarity, absurdity, and in-character responses!
- ★ - [part seven: fill] At His Mercy [North Italy/Germany] -- Germany is rather tied up, but hopes North Italy is capable of at least one thing: getting him out of these knots.
Staffer's Review: A wonderfully funny fill, where North Italy is devious and still...Italy while Germany is genre-savvy in all the wrong ways. The fact that it is in Germany's point-of-view only adds to the hilarity.
- ★ - [part seven: fill] Copenhagen [Denmark, Germany] -- It's said that they're "civilized" now, but Denmark knows that for all of the scientific advances, "civilization" is just a thin veneer.
Staffer's Review: This fic takes all of Denmark's character clichés and then turns them on their head by making him brilliant at physics, which I am an enormous geek for. The voice, too, is the same brashness that we're used to with Denmark - but what he's saying is far, far more politically and strategically astute than most portrayals will give him.
- ★★★ - [part six: fill] Unsurprise Buttsecks [Denmark/Norway] by valmora -- Denmark gets quite the welcome home.
Staffer's Review: This story is all hot, intense sex. What really makes this fill stand out is how the author paces the story: it's quick, it's "now," and we are just as much along for the ride as Denmark is. And while this staffer does not know what got Norway into this mood, she is happy for Denmark and wishes that it would happen more often.
