tafadhaliI actually didn't have that many bookmarks to choose from this month for my reclist, but I only had one new-to-me vid to rec so I thought I'd bump it up to 11 anyway!
Here are 10 fic recs:
Here are 10 fic recs:
❖ Color Portrait World by glorious_spoon (9-1-1, Buck/Eddie, 7k): "Eddie proposes marriage (platonically). Buck spirals." And the spiralling is glorious.
❖ his friends would pay the boatman's fare by thatsparrow (Critical Role: Aramán, Thimble & Kattigan): A conversation between Kattigan and Thimble about her relationship with Thjazi. Great character voices.
❖ The Night Before Parting [series] by Mightybignein (Critical Role: Aramán, gen, minor Hal/Bolaire): A series of conversations the night before the Seekers and the Schemers part ways. I particularly liked the first one, a conversation between Bolaire and Murray.
❖ Wine and Bread by Dira Sudis (Critical Role: Aramán, Hal/Bolaire): "Bolaire meets Hal one more time at their secret spot to have some time together alone, but it doesn't go at all like Bolaire expects: there is soup." A fascinating look at Bolaire and Hal's relationship post-E5. Loved the focus on making Bolaire care for his physical form.
❖ The Longest Way by Sixthlight (due South, Sue Morse, minor Fraser/Ray K, 10k): Love a story that turns the focus on a minor character. This one focuses on Janet's oldest daughter from the episode "Bounty Hunter," making her own way several years post-canon and crossing paths with a certain Mountie and retired Chicago detective.
❖ does this go faster? by spqr (The Losers, Jensen/Cougar, 6k): "Jensen's sub awakening" Hot!
❖ too sober not to know by meminisse (MASH, Trapper & BJ, Trapper/Hawkeye, BJ/Hawkeye, 7k): Trapper and BJ cross paths in a bar post-canon. Bittersweet and emotional.
❖ not even past by ariex09 (Nine Worlds, Fitzroy/Kip, 18k): "In which Fitzroy goes undercover as Kip's secretary. For, you know, reasons. (Gremlin reasons.)" Funny! Lovely! Totally charmed by this one (especially the details of the audit; so perfectly Kip).
❖ Like Coconuts by Dira Sudis (Nine Worlds, Fitzroy/Kip, 3k): A new entry in the venerable tradition of "Kip and Fitzroy finally talk about sex" stories; really liked the metaphor the author uses to explore Kip's feelings here.
❖ still surveying the miles yet to run by thatsparrow (The Pitt, Santos & Whitaker, 3k): An extremely well-characterized interaction between Santos and Whitaker on the night he moves into her place.
And my one vid rec for the month:
❖ 🎥 Oh, oh, chéri by citruses (Crashing, Colin/Melody, vid): It's no secret that I love a French pop vid, but the song choice is SO PERFECT for this idiosyncratic couple. Let it entice you into watching the show — it's only 6 episodes and it's a delight!
❖ his friends would pay the boatman's fare by thatsparrow (Critical Role: Aramán, Thimble & Kattigan): A conversation between Kattigan and Thimble about her relationship with Thjazi. Great character voices.
