Yuletide recs!
Here are a few recs in the following fandoms: Alan Mendelsohn Boy From Mars - Pinkwater, Alien vs Predator, Casino Royale (2006), Sesame Street, Real Genius, Hot Fuzz, & Breakfast Club
Small Creatures Such As We
Alan Mendelsohn Boy From Mars - Pinkwater
Leonard Neeble/Alan Mendelsohn
Leonard goes to "The Bronx" - aka exotic and sometimes interstellar locales - every summer to visit Alan. They grow, and so does the connection between them.
On the Way Down
Alien vs Predator (2004)
Alexa Woods
Post-movie repercussions have Alexa mourning and surviving, challenging herself in her own particular way. Her reactions are appropriately complex and, boy, is it nice to see a strong woman dealing with life on her own terms presented as a story worth telling.
If Headaches Persist, Shoot Your Agent
Casino Royale (2006)
M/James Bond
Fabulous M POV - James is testing M's boundaries, she manages to surprise him without really trying not once but twice, and although the story itself is basically smut-free, by the end of the story the promise of smut to come is tangibly delicious.
Five Lessons Chris Learned From Working At Hooper's (And One He Had To Pick Up At Home)
Sesame Street
Chris Robinson/Alan Muraoka
Sweet and cute and remarkably Sesame Street-like!
Don't Give a Damn What Else I Am
Real Genius
Mitch Taylor/Jordan Cochran/Chris Knight
This was such a fantastic look at the three of them, years later -- Chris is still Chris, Jordan is still amazing, and Mitch is so endearing (and knows he is very, very lucky).
A Knight's Quest
Real Genius
Mitch Taylor/Jordan Cochran/Chris Knight
Oh, YAY! I love the communications with Lazlo, I love Zippy, I love Mitch's palpable attraction for his friends, and I especially love the strength of the trio's friendships. Apparently this is a crossover? But with something that I couldn't identify. However, that lessened my enjoyment of the story not one whit.
Yippee Ki Yay, Mother Hubbard
Hot Fuzz
Danny Butterman/Nicholas Angel
I collapsed with laughter at the *title*, and the story that followed did not disappoint. This is brilliant and charming and so lovable I could just *die*.
DIY For Beginners
Hot Fuzz
Danny Butterman/Nicholas Angel
Utterly perfect. Operating on a somewhat flawed assumption, Danny decides to go gay for Nicholas. ♥ ♥ ♥
Most Likely To
Breakfast Club
Brian Johnson/John Bender
This just makes me so HAPPY. It's wonderful, I love the structure, the wanting, the believable setbacks in Brian's life, the date conversation, the insanely hot sex, everything.
