friday fic recs: au edition!

[shan_3414]

By special request, this week's theme is...

AUs!
We're looking for any and all Alternate Universe fics. Skins in space? Skins, Romeo & Juliet style? Effy goes to Hogwarts? Rec it! Any and all AUs and crossovers are welcome -- fics that bring something unique to the fandom, that take characters we love and stick them in new and exciting situations.

I love this Naomi/Emily AU by unconditional_w, Miles and Miles. It's set in their final year of university and the general premise is that the Gen 2 gang never went to Roundview together and only Naomi, Cook, Effy and Freddie are friends in Uni.

I love it so much because despite being a Naomily fic it deals with the Cook/Effy/Freddie dynamic in a interesting and believable way (one could argue better than the writers did)

Two of my FAVORITES are:

A Rapid Imagination by botherd. Naomi & Emily, Jane Austen-style, featuring cross-dressing!Naomi and background Katie/Cook. Seriously one of the most awesome things to come out of fandom.

An Imperfection in an Otherwise Perfect Plan by harper_m. It's a Katie/Effy fic set during WWI, with background Naomi/Emily and lots of cameos. Beyond lovely.
