Alice (2009)
The Price of Tea: Random Battlecry (Hatter-centric Hatter/Alice)
A great rattle around Hatter's head and heart over the years.
Community
Even Twinkies Expire Sometime, Or: The Repercussions of Random Kissing: dollsome
(Post 1.09 Annie/Jeff PG-13)
This made me laugh a lot and Jeff's voice, in particular, when faced with the repercussions, is great, and gave me this bit of personal headcanon:
When I was in eleventh grade, I checked out audiobooks of the complete Shakespearean canon and transcribed them by hand to teach myself how to copy things down with speed and legibility.”
Oh, Annie, you so did.
Dredd
some kind of resolution: anr (Dredd/Anderson, the author rates it PG, but I’d say at least strong teen)
This has so much of what I wanted to happen between these two.
The Good Wife
A Hundred Storms: abvj (Kalinda-centric, post s2, I think. PG-13, with some Kalinda/Alicia, Cary/Kalinda)
A great portrait of Kalinda, complex and intriguing.
Harry Potter
Just Leave Me Out of It: olympe_maxime
Amusing look at Dean's response when the Ron-Harry row in GoF leads Ron to hang out with Seamus and him.
The Incredibles
The Red Suit: quantumvelvet
If you haven’t read this, you should, and now is the perfect time. Very nice mixture of humour and sentiment.
Supers were marvellous to design for, but a nightmare to employ. Always needing a break to fight this giant robot, vanquish that dragon, changing in phone booths or janitors' closets or any other improbably location they could get their hands on. Her super suits were built to withstand such nonsense, of course, but it was murder on their normal clothes.
Jake 2.0
Reparation: mylittleredgirl (Post 'Last Man Standing')
Jake and his feeelings about still being alive and, well, Diane. Wonderfully in-character adorkable UST.
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
plastic miscommunication: magisterequitum
The summary puts it well the first time they have a serious talk happens over a pregnancy test box
Credible and well-observed post-series Lizzie/Darcy fic.
Man of Steel
Every time I look into your eyes, I see better: xenokattz (Lois/Clark, teen)
Tackles the problematic aspects of the film well, with great characterisation.
The Mindy Project
If We Sleep Together Would You Be My Friend Forever: blithers (Mandy/Danny)
Spectacular voices in this dialogue-driven fic that does fun things with self-awareness as these two are tropetastically forced to share a room for a few days.
MirrorMask
Ten Times: misxmatch (Helena/Valentine)
Ten times Helena thinks about Valentine and her relationship with him during her adventures, features brilliant, clever writing to convey her states and a fabulous ending.
Nashville
All of Your Flaws and All of My Flaws They Lie There Hand in Hand: sleepingheartsawake (spoilers for 'Dear Brother', AU after that point)
This is the Scarlett/Gunnar that I wanted to happen in the build-up to 'Dear Brother'. This is the Scarlett/Gunnar development that I wanted to happen after 'Dear Brother' too. It's lovely, with a Scarlett who gets a chance to pause and come to realisations and a Gunnar who heals more healthily.
Once Upon a Time
Beautiful Disaster: Legendary Dreamer (spoilers for season 2)
Emma character study (which puts Emma's relationship with Mary Margaret/Snow first, then her relationship with Henry) with quite some emotional punch.
Revenge
I Believe: claireredfild7
This vid is a pretty powerful concentration on Emily's revenge (spoilers for just season 1, I think).
