Five Random Recs

My currently regular Thursday feature...

OUaT: Browned Butter by awanderingbard (G, 1956 words. Emma Swan/Killian Jones, Snow White, Regina Mills, Henry Mills.) It's Storybrooke's first Thanksgiving, and Emma is finding trying to be a domestic goddess more difficult than she anticipated. Sweet and funny, with Emma battling to do something

... There is FANFICTION of Archer's Goon???

(I mean, I adored that book so much I can't even begin to explain it. Practically knew it by heart... This is so weird I have literally no idea how to react. Don't even think I can read the pic, it'd be so strange.)

Oh, yes! It's a regular at Yuletide and DWJ Yuletiders are amazing! Seriously, I don't think you'd be weirded out by the fic - its tone is pitched exactly right. I get very picky about DWJ fic myself, especially Fire & Hemlock but the people who usually write her for Yuletide are just amazing. This one follows Erskine, Hathaway, Torquil and Howard post-canon. (I don't know if anyone's yet done the What Happened on That Spaceship fic, which is a serious oversight, though!)

It's a brilliant book, though; one of my faves of hers, definitely. She was such a wonderful and unique writer. :-)

Oh I trust you to only rec stuff that's good - it's just the *idea* that's weirding me out.

... Aye. Although it could not possibly have a happy ending. /o\

Mmmmmm. <3333

Heh, Yuletide pretty much exists to make fic happen for all the things you think would never have fic! :-)

Well, it could - just not for everyone!

My absolute favourite of hers is Fire & Hemlock, which I have read so many times - and then every time I find someone writing meta about it online, they just reveal new layers I hadn't ever thought of. It's amazing, and she always seems so very straight-forward in her prose. AC I used to re-read a lot to cheer myself up - especially the bit in the middle where an Englishman's home is his castle.

That OUAT one is so cute. <3

[lost_spook]

It was! I'm always grumbling about never being able to find the good stuff in amongst the million and one fluffy AUs, but that one was cute and fun without being too sappy & it just popped up on one of the comms I follow this morning!

Thank you for the rec!

I like the idea of doing a semi-regular random recs post - I might steal it.

[lost_spook]

My pleasure! And I do think there can always be more recs, so steal away! :-)
