Fanfic Recs
Darth Real Life continues to keep me busy, but I've been meaning to rec a few more stories I keep open, from two recent exchanges (only one of which I managed to participate in).
Rare Male Slash
Star Wars
Though the wind pried with its stiff fingers charming hurt/comfort vignette, in which Lando and Luke, post ESB, talk about what happened on Bespin.
The Exorcist (TV)
My secrets are all I own: I don't actually ship Marcus/Tomas in the romantic sense, but this story captures them and their dynamic so well that I handwaved my inner non-shipper and was a most captivated reader; set between seasons 1 and 2, when they're on the road.
Every Woman
James Bond (Craig Movies)
Calling the King to Heel: a fantastic Vesper Lynd character exploration in the guise of a missing scene from Casino Royale that manages to show what a terrific character she was, in all her facets.
Mythology
A Hedge of Roses: Persephone, and not a story about Hades! (Nothing against him, but I really like that this story tackles another aspect of her.
The Defenders
Helping Hand(s): Claire interacting with Colleen, Jessica, and her plants. Which is awesome.
Star Trek: Discovery
Deep Breaths: Keyla Detmer, Discovery's pilot, has slowly been fleshed out through the seasons, with s3 providing the most material, but this story goes to another level with its character portrait. Beautifully done. This entry was originally posted at https://selenak.dreamwidth.org/1454789.html. Comment there or here, as you wish.
