Recs: Dollhouse
Okay, so in advance: basically I am in this show for the DeWitt.
A Day in the Life by yourcarcinogen (Adelle-centric)
Our favourite HBIC, with all her "thoughts and worries and petty victories."
A Little Bit Bison by Janine (Adelle/Claire)
"Adelle had gotten her job because she was good at handling people. She had a way of reassuring people, of lulling them into a sense of security, of making them feel as if they were the most important thing in the world to her." Oh, THIS.
Adelle/Clair Monday Slave Fic by antimeriate
It's from a Slave Fic prompt but really it's nothing like that; just D/s. Hot little drabble.
Adelle/Imprints, submission by anon
Yay for the femslash kink meme! Also, yay for horny!Adelle. I mean, there's deep emotional needs and stuff too. But mostly, Adelle is having sex.
and all the things we've never seen or heard by twistomatic (Whiskey/November)
This fic was written for parcae, who comments "...I love how it feels like they're inevitable, no matter what, everywhere, everywhen, everyone." Which is about right, really.
A Damp, Drizzly November in My Soul by penmage (Paul/Mellie)
Good and bleak, just as apocafic should be with, and with a nice helping of Mellie.
Different Types by mistress_britt (Ivy/various)
I don't know why, but the idea of Ivy as a bit of a slut really makes sense to me. A series of drabbles about the way she interacts with others, but if the fleshing out of her character isn't reason enough to read, there is also D/s with Adelle (!)
Evidence of Things Not Seen by amathela (Paul/Mellie)
Apocafic in amthela's trademark short, brusque and sometimes cryptic lines.
for however long or short our lives are going to be by twistomatic (Whiskey/November)
Madeline sees Claire, but she doesn't remember. I think the ending's ... I don't know, banal? rather than stark, but other than that this doesn't miss a beat.
it's not exactly life, just the life that i dreamed by twistomatic (Adelle/Claire)
Incredibly quiet, and sad. The author has a really good handle on Adelle's character as I see it.
More Than An Echo by Lexus (Adelle/Echo)
A story that opens with a cat fight and warns for "non-consensual spanking" can only be a story you want to read. Great characterization, hilarious snark and actual plot are really just bonuses. Can't wait for another update!
The More Things Change by Janine (Adelle/Claire)
They are perfect here. Plus, Adelle can ~intimidate me any time.
Professional Lapse by yourcarcinogen (Adelle/Echo)
My favourite pairing in all its twisted glory. Paragraphs ending in 'yet'. Adelle discussing Echo's sexual abilities with Topher, completely casually. Wardrobe!porn ("Her watered silk blouse and dove grey pencil skirt join Echo’s more casual clothes on the floor...") Echo as a doll interspersed with Caroline. I feel so spoiled whenever I read this fic!
Taboos by anon (Adelle/Whiskey)
They have kinky sex. And it's awesome.
Talking With Ghosts by lily_lovely (Adelle/Clair, Echo/Clair)
"Echo stands up again, and puts her hands on Claire's arms. 'Claire,' she whispers slowly. 'There is something else to help you when you're sad.'" A few deliciously fucked up fragments dealing with power and consent - two of my favourite things, especially when explored with a knife!
temptation by anthimeriate (Adelle/Claire)
Hot, intelligent femslash ficlet, fully equipped with religious metaphors.
Temptation by mistress_britt (Siera/Echo)
Creepy but lovely, just as this pairing should be. Toys brilliantly with ideas of memory.
Within Reach by Lexus (Adelle/Claire)
Unfairly freakin' hot - unfairly because I'm not particularly attached to this pairing, but this fic made me want more.
You Always Have You by theagonyofblank (Adelle-centric)
"She is Adelle DeWitt. She never second-guesses herself." Adelle is the perfect mixture of vulnerability and control. These drabbles capture that really well; she needs other people, but she can't afford to rely on anyone.
NEW (your blood, your bones, your voice) your ghost by parcae (Whiskey/November)
"She's starting to degrade."
