Recs that should have been posted in 2011 2/?*
The Good Wife
you can like the life you're living (you can live the life you like): mardia (Alicia/Will AU for 2.01)
Beautifully done 'what if...'. Left me wishing it had happened like this for them.
Pot Kettle Black: Sadie Flood (Gen)
Really great, clever, in-keeping-with-the-show look at what was going on with Diane and Will in the middle (?) of season 2.
Harry Potter
Fanart: Luna Lovegood by until the dark
Ron Weasley Ponders Puddings: Rubberduck
Funny (if occasionally a little too arch) look at oblivious Ron. (Ron/Hermione).
Sixteen years of life had taught Ron that trying to push an extra occupant into the Gastronomical Hotel leads, unfortunately, to the evacuation of all its inhabitants.
Drunk Sincerity: stephanometra (Lily/James)
Dialogue-driven fic in which, despite everything, James endears himself to Lily.
Inception
remember how you got here: kellifer-fic (Ariadne/Arthur, Eames)
Fittingly, it has the feeling of being a fragment in a larger story. Excellent characterisation and moments of interaction and insight that I'll be weaving into my head canon.
sense memory: vinyl road (Ariadne/Arthur adult)
Arthur trains Ariadne while Cobb gets their forger. Sensual, intelligent and the power of the summary 'time to wake up' increasingly makes itself felt.
*I don't know yet whether there'll either be one more post or two more posts in this set. (And then I'll be wanting to rec the fanworks I've come across in 2012.)
