Anyone remember how I said that I wanted most of my board to be filled by fics I had not read before? I'm not doing very well so far. Tonight I finished rereading one of my favorite pieces of fan fiction,
Waging World Peace by
Alex51324.
I love this fic so much that, a couple of years ago, I read it aloud to my mother as an example of what good fanfic can be like. It's an episodic story with a lot of excellent historical detail and good characterization of both our heroes. (Illya is not quite as I see him portrayed in canon, but only in one particular.) 32,445 words. NS/IK slash. Particularly recommended.
B:
Botticelli by Elizabeth Bear (3,874 words)
W: Waging World Peace by Alex51324 (32,445 words)
Z:
Zugzwang by Azdak (3,464 words)
Total words: 39,783
