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.

Summary: Seriously - blink and you'll miss it.

Reccer's Notes: Put away all beverages, foods and smokes. Chances are you won't make it longer than the first "duck" before laughing.

Theme: Gateway

Summary: You just killed a helicopter with a car!

Reccer's Notes: I just fell into this fandom and pairing, and this was my Gateway drug, I mean vid. After watching this, I've since read a bunch of fic and re-watched the movie.

Theme: Established Relationship

Summary: Matt, John and a cabin in the woods.

Reccer's Notes: This is a very nice developing relationship fic, highlighting Matt and John's differences and how they're going to go about finding common ground in their relationship. (Not as serious as I'm making it sound. Just a fun cabin fic.)

Pairing: John McClane/Matt Farrell
Length: 3681
Author Links: Annie D (scaramouche)
Theme: established relationship

Summary: A story about aging and mortality.

Reccer's Notes: Let me just say right now that the summary is way too boring for this awesomesauce story. They're old geezers who love each other! Warning for character death, but don't worry, it's not sad, because there are demons.

Theme: Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Listen, hey, I’d love to catch up, but I kind of have this problem right now, and I know I said I wouldn’t bother you anymore, but I think someone’s trying to kill me.

Reccer's Notes: Someone tries to kill Matt. McClane saves the day. And then he ends up in the hospital. Obviously.

Fandom: Die Hard/Speed
Pairing: John/Matt
Length: ~24000
Author Links: Annie D
Theme: crossover/fusion
Summary: Summary: An alternate Die Hard 4, fused with Jan de Bont's Speed.

Reccer's Notes: I would have never thought of this fusion on my own, but it works. Over-elaborated villainous plans, action heroes, and with bonus slash and Lucy being badass
