sarrenFirstly, the Blood Ties fic I received is FABULOUS. When I first got my notification email with the summary, all I did for the first 10 minutes was SAVOUR the fact that my author had taken on board all my incoherent rambling about what I liked about the fandom and the sort of story I like AND WROTE EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR. Which to me implies that not only did they go the extra mile to make sure I got a fic I love, but that they enjoyed the challenge and had fun writing it. I really hope so, anyway.
Liberation Vicki/Henry/Mike - AWESOME case fic. G rated, even if you're not into threesomes, or slash I still recommend you read it for the great CASE.
Some Like It Hot
A Perfect Honeymoon Daphne/Osgood What it says on the box. OMG SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS.
Hot Fuzz
After the Explosion, the Days Nick/Danny. Absolutely charming and in character. *loves*
DIY For Beginners Nicholas/Danny.
This made me laugh and laugh. Oh Danny!!! And such a great reaction by Nicholas. Love this A LOT.
Naomi Novik - Temeraire
A Woman of Character Laurence/Roland. Lovely character piece of Jane Roland. Gen
Gemology Emily Roland POV, on the significance of the garnets. Gen
Georgette Heyer - The Unknown Ajax/April Lady
Clean Linen Claud Darracott/Felix Hethersett EPIC crossover. Seriously, Heyer could have written this, perfect writing style and characterisation, and exactly the sort of mess the Darracotts would get involved in.
Glee
Angel With a Pint Glass Kurt/Finn. Kurt goes on to college.
Rudyard Kipling - Stalky and Co
Out of Bounds Number 5 study pwn the new master. Gen
AJ Raffles - Hornung
The Due Reward For Our Deeds Raffles/Bunny. Lovely in character writing style.
At Last Raffles/Bunny. Different perspective of the relationship. I like this because it's not particularly happy.
Black Books
I'm just linking to all four, cos they are ALL that good! Insane, funny and warped!
Better Off Ted
Mental Unwellness and the Myth of the Veridian Unicorn Phil/Lem
Seriously, this is utterly brilliant!!! "So what if he's hearing voices? As far as I'm concerned that just means we're getting extra input on our projects for no cost. In fact, I wish more of our employees had voices in their heads like Phil. Good job, Phil!"
Minimizing Maxi-Misers
Downsizing made competitive - the Veridian Dynamics way Also brilliant - could have been an episode! Gen
Love Actually
Impropriety David/Natalie
Natalie deals with being the PM's girlfriend. This is lovely - made me smile all the way through. Het
Bound
On the Road Corky/Violet I can totally see this - just a scene in a diner together.
Life on Mars UK
The Fools on the Hill Gene/Sam Great Gene POV and interesting style.
The Persuaders
Geloso Brett/Danny Cute little Danny gets a clue fic.
Two Ways Danny And Brett Probably Didn't Get Married, And One Way They Almost Certainly Did Brett/Danny What it says on the box. Short and cute!
Gordon Korman - MacDonald Hall
An Elementary Guide to Courting (or Don't Feed the Plants!) Bruno/Boots When Cathy asks for a favour, the boys of Macdonald Hall know better than to refuse. However, Bruno seems to have an agenda of his own. It all would have gone according to plan, if it hadn't been for the flesh-eating plants.
E M Forster - Maurice
Three Epilogues Maurice/Alec
What happened after. This is LOVELY.
The Home Front
Another awesome Maurice fic, I'm overwhelmed! This is what if Alec and Clive met during the war. And it is so evocative. I'm impressed! Gen
Enemy Mine
Pretty Close Willis/Jerry
*flails* I always pictured it just like this.
Remember the Titans
Sunny Days Gerry/Julius
*FLAILS* THIS IS THE FIC I ALWAYS WANTED *FLAILS* The boys get together throughout the movie. SO MUCH LOVE.
Drake and Josh
Acute Selective Drake-Related Amnesia Drake/Josh
Just like the show with boykissing!
Austen & Grahame-Smith - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
The Extraordinary Adventures of a Lady and Her Gentlemen (Or, The Undead and the Automaton) Gen
Just like the book!
Dick Francis - Sid Halley
Off the Pace Sid/Charles
This has a proper plot and sounds just like Francis. What I like about it is it explores Sid's vulnerability. Warnings: attempted rape by the bad guy. Also mild g rated d/s.

Date: 2009-12-30 12:49 am (UTC)There's quite a few Heyer fics and they're pretty much all good as far as I remember - my remembering to add to rec list has been a bit spotty - especially if I was reading late at night and too knackered. Clearly I'll have to do another one when I've read some more *g*
Ooh, there's an exellent Vidal/Mary angsty one. *notes*
You have to surf around a bit - the Heyers are all over the place because when you upload the 'fandoms' section lets you write anything you like and people obviously weren't checking what the official label for the fandom was.
