Favourite H/C moments in Fic - no 5

Another week, another h/c button with rec(s)

I am not a fan of amnesia fic. When its done well, it can really add depth and drama to a fic. However, as its not really one of my buttons, I thought I'd explore a broader button which is: Hero versus the world. This is a very very broad button but can be drilled down into a few key highlights.

Its the hero being on his/her own. Removed from the support and friendship they have come to know and rely on.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Also: What I like in amnesia fics it the trust. When the Team/friends find the hero and have to gain his trust (again) in order to help him.

There is that, true :) I think what frustrates me with amnesia fics is the balance between OOC and keeping in character. Not a lot of fics get it right.

But, I love to give 'em a try :)

Yeah, but what is OOC and what not in amnesia fic? When you think that what we are and how we react is a sum of our previous experiences and these experiences are missing...

[tari_roo]

Exactly! So hence the fine line writers have to tread. What is believable OOCness and what is not? And I think a lot comes down to personal pref and takes on the situation.

Yep!
