Fire (The Seven Kingdoms trilogy)
Lay eyes on a beautiful thing without needing to possess it: leiascully (Brigan/Fire)
Gorgeous fic. I enjoyed reading about things from Brigan’s perspective - his developing feelings and the context for them.

The Hunger Games
the heart i gave to you (i cannot find): electrumqueen (Gale/Katniss, Katniss/Peeta. post 'Mockingjay' book, not movies)
This is a devastating study of Gale, after, living a life permeated by regret.

Inception
So Much To Say: sour-idealist (Ariadne/Arthur, teen, ficlet)
Ariadne’s in a very sympathetic place post-movie, and I also really like how the relationship develops.

The Man from UNCLE (2015)
In such movement, I am still: partypaprika (Gaby-centric, teen)
Focusing on Gaby, this fic gives her feelings about all that’s happened due care and attention.

Man of Steel
I Never Thought Anyone Like You Could Exist: fresne (Clark/Lois)
Never mind the 13/?, the thirteenth part brings this lovely series of ficlets to a satisfying close. Clark and Lois get to know each other better and Lois is in no way a damsel in distress!

MCU
Jane Foster's High School Reunion: Niobium (Jane/Thor, post Thor 2)
After some reluctance, Jane takes Thor to her high school reunion. I like how this celebrates Jane's achievements as a person and a brilliant astrophysicist.

Untitled, but written for the prompt: Steve/Natasha, New Year's Eve: musesfool (kisslet)
Satisfying sweetness after understandable melancholy.

Scorpion
an ever-fixed mark: mardia (Paige/Walter + team + Ralph - futurefic written after season 1)
This is so great. It unfolds so believably and celebrates Paige and her niche on the team, plus what it all means to her. Especially Walter.

The Secret Garden (1993 adaptation)
Return to | of | from: connsdmilk
Gorgeous and affecting vid, focusing on Mary.

Sherlock
Anomie: charmax (gen, spoilers for season 1 only)
Really liked the focus on Sherlock living and detecting in his society here.

Snow White and the Huntsman
Snow White and the Captain: fiftyzillion (Snow/Huntsman, long)
Lovely. I enjoyed watching Snow both settle and grow into her role and the slow-burn development of the love story.

at practice: lalaietha (Snow, dwarves, Eric, gen ficlet)
A sliver of the making of warrior!Snow, with a lovely sense of comradeship.

Spy
I would do anything for love (but I won’t do that): Diaphenia (Susan/Rick, teen for language and violence.)
This fic is a lot of fun, with great banter and characterisation.

Stardust
A Forest: GhostTownExit00
This vid breaks the story down to elements, has great atmosphere and I think I was holding my breath throughout as I watched.

Tin Man
She Stares Down The Storm: Random Battlecry (Lavendar Eyes/Ahamo, pre-series)
Good use of language in this story of two people finding each other. I also like how you can see similarities with DG in her parents when younger.

True Grit
The Good Old Way: ishie (Mattie/LaBoeuf)
Mattie may have misinformed us about one thing in her account of the hunt for Tom Chaney...So great to spend more time with Mattie of the distinctive voice, and the writer has fun with how the plain-speaker is a transparently unreliable narrator.

The Way Way Back
Bright Lights: dogstar
This vid captures the main emotional throughline of this film beautifully.

X-Men
Human: kaydeefalls (XMFC & XMDOFP)
Great character vid for Raven/Mystique and her journey in these films.

untitled (written for the prompt 'always only myself': runespoor7 (Mystique-centric ficlet set post XMFC.) A keen vignette about Mystique's agency (even if two men in her life were rubbish at acknowledging it.)
