Die Hard Movies: Pre-Existing Condition by Helenish

jasmasson posting in

Fandom: Die Hard 4.0
Pairings/Characters: Matt Farrell/John McClane
Rating: Not Rated (I would say Gen or Teen at most)
Length: 13,139 words
Creator Links: Helenish at AO3
Theme: Marriage of Convenience

Summary:

“Anyway, he’s staying with me for a while,” John says.

“My place got firebombed,” Matt says, reflexively.

Reccer’s Notes: This fic is absolutely note perfect. The characters feel completely on point and the marriage of convenience trope feels totally natural. An exploration of how to be normal after something absolutely crazy has happened to you.

It feels very warm and true and absolutely delightfully done in Helenish’s brilliant way of writing.

I haven't seen enough Die Hard to read a fic, but your write-up made it sound like this author was a sure thing so I visited their page to see if they'd written in any of my fandoms. OH MY GOD. Their Trek story is FUCKING FANTASTIC. Thank you for circuitously leading me there. I can't believe I missed this fic when I was first in Trek fandom. What an oversight, now thankfully corrected!

Oh wow you are in for a treat! One of my favourite authors of all time. I’d love to be reading her fresh again; if she wrote in any fandom you’ve ever liked give them all a go - you won’t be sorry! 😁

SGA is a maybe, though I rarely read it. I was talking to Punk recently about how all the good writers write hockey RPF. What's the deal? 😂

From:

mific

Haha, there's a tumblr post about that!

Go to hockeyrpf --> find a popular author there --> see if they wrote in one of your fandoms --> enjoy!

Oh, and Helenish's sga fics are very very good.

I will never get it. 😂 There are reddit threads about it, too.
