Recs (fics and vids) 1/2
Alice (Sy Fy Miniseries)
three ficlets: vega of the lyre (one. rained in; two. oh boy you've left me speechless; three. a well-hatted woman) Alice/Hatter
These can be read as a continuation, equally, they can be read as not belonging together in a continuation at all. But you should read read them all as they're all well written, with distinctive phrasing and ideas (e.g. the challenge Hatter takes up in the last ficlet).
He is still surprising her.
Avengers (movieverse)
Flint and Steel: yeomanrand (Clint and Natasha - can be read as Clint/Natasha)
Their every fight is intimate.
Very, very deftly done ficlet that expands just enough on their backstory.
In the Bullpen: genusshrike (remastered)
Natasha is awesome vid is awesome.
The Only John Wayne in this Town: gyzym Clint-centric (Darcy/Clint) AU in which Clint is a country music natural. Thoroughly entertaining fic. Teen for language, pretty long for a one-shot.
Things Being What they Are: Random-Battlecry (Bruce/Natasha)
Fascinating Bruce-Natasha interaction, with a lot going on under the surface.
It's Not Official Until It's Facebook Official: redbrunja
Clint/Darcy. Rish, in which Clint and Darcy are adorably irresistible.
Chrysalis: sugar-fey Natasha-centric, R, Goes powerfully dark, but not without hope, in a story about the Black Widow's background, and its sequel A Walk on Part in the War. Natasha and OFC-centric with implied Clint/Natasha, hard PG-13, about the Black Widow's legacy, and the third (concluding?) part World on Fire. Clint/Natasha, R, about how Hawkeye sees her, has always seen her.
Growing Season: dotfic post-Iron Man 2 Pepper/Tony.
Lovely look at their relationship as Tony decides to give Pepper fruits as gifts.
this is not my ninja shirt: kellifer_fic Darcy/Clint
Really enjoyable fic in which Darcy goes undercover and is, of course, awesome.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A Girl Made from Sky: Doyle-sb4 Gen, The Cheeseman, Dawn - it's a crossover with The Sandman, which I don't know, but that didn't really matter.
This is a beautiful, wonderful and strange story, and I love the perspective it gives on Dawn.
The Dark Knight Rises
Thieves: orange_crushed Selina/Blake, Selina/Bruce hard Teen
What Selina did when Gotham was held hostage. (Yes, I know Selina/Bruce OTP and all that, and I held off from reading this because of that, but the Selina voice is fabulous, and this is set during the time when she thought he was dead and couldn't let herself hope otherwise. I'd urge you to read it).
Downton Abbey
The fear you won’t fall: dollsome
Really lovely, reflective s1 Bates/Anna vid that conveyed a lot about their relationship.
Firefly
All these things that I've done: cnstrikesback
Glorious vid about the crew of Serenity and their ship.
Devil's Spoke: purplefringe
Zoe/Wash. There's so much to their relationship and this vid does a great job of drawing it out.
The Good Wife
Tell Me More: empressearwig
Very nicely done season 2 Cary/Kalinda moment.
