Yuletide reccing ball, part 2 - 12 fandoms, 16 stories
Arrow
Soft, Like A Hand Not Touching - Arrow, Oliver/Slade/Shado. Hot, but also touching, and very revealing of character.
Between Friends - Oliver/Tommy and Oliver/Tommy/OFC. Ugh, I can see this SO CLEARLY, and I'm still SO MAD at the show for what it did to Tommy. Which I guess is better than how he turned out in the comics. Sigh.
Disconnect - gen. Three calls Malcolm Merlyn didn't make. Includes a lovely look at the friendship between wee!Tommy and wee!Oliver.
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
I'll Be Right Here - gen. I loved this story because it's what every kid who saw E.T. wanted to have happen, and we all sort of know it did, in our hearts. Also this story reminds me strongly of an Iron Giant story I wrote a few years ago for Yuletide, We Live On In Legend. So clearly I'm predisposed to similar ideas already. *g*
The Lion in Winter
Jungle Creatures - mostly gen, discussion of Philip/Richard. Delicious verbal warfare between Philip and Eleanor.
Captive Prince
Lines on Palms - Damen/Laurent. Gorgeous AU, where Laurent and Damen find their way to each other without slavery and war; this is a fantastic Laurent POV.
The Eagle
Annum Novum - Marcus/Esca. Well-written story with a delicious slow build of the relationship and great OCs which give the story depth. The ending was very abrupt, but that's a minor quibble with a good story.
Boston Legal
In the Mood for Sunshine - Boston Legal, Denny Crane/Alan Shore. Pitch-perfect character voices. This reminded me how much I loved these wacky, screwed-up characters.
Bourne movies
set fire to the rain - Jason Bourne/Nicky Parsons. Nicky's story. Totally my head canon now.
Fast and Furious series
it's hard to do these things alone - Dom/Brian, but mostly Brian/cars, actually. This is kind of a weird story where Brian can talk to cars, and they talk back. Sort of. Everyone has a talent, and that's his.
Gladiator
Fresh Glories from the Heavens - Commodus/Maximus, absolutely non-con. Perfectly in-character nastybadwrong vignette.
House of Cards
Fifteen. Fifteen. Fifteen. - Frank Underwood and Doug Stamper, gen. I think it's incredibly hard to capture the way Frank Underwood speaks, but this story does so brilliantly, while explaining the genesis of Stamper's loyalty to him.
Battle Hymn of the Republic - Frank/Claire. The last paragraph of this makes it for me. Portrait of a marriage.
Ocean's movies
Showing Your Hand - Danny/Rusty deliciousness.
All These Years Runnin' Round - Danny and Rusty, getting back together. Sort of.
Rebel Without A Cause
sure, it could look like dew, but they're laughing at you - Jim/Plato/Judy, mostly implied. How it should have ended. Really lovely fix-it, despite the odd title.
