Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries fic and show rec

[sarren]

If you haven't already watched Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, I highly, highly recommend this lovely show. I suggest reading this a lovely, detailed pimp post someone else prepared earlier because I am lazy no point reinventing the wheel, right *cough*

The characters are adorable and the chemistry between Jack and Phryne lights up the screen.




So I actually read all 27 Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries Yuletide fics, because this fandom brings me so much joy. It was my main fandom love last year (I wrote treats, yay me) and in the last few months (now that I have time to read) I have read all the books and enjoyed them heaps too. I treat them as AUs of each other, I love all the characters in both, but they are mostly quite different.

I'm glad I did read them all, because there are some lovely fics I wouldn't normally have clicked on, including this possible backstory of Mac and Phryne's first meeting at school -

Strife at Methodist Ladies'
Missing calculus prep, a mathematics master who doesn't believe in women attending university, and a first former who is intent upon escaping from detention -- what is Elizabeth MacMillan to do?



My absolute highlight for Yuletide (after my own gifts of course) was this fic set after the series finale -

A Series of Optical Illusions
Phryne/Jack, Case Fic, M. 20k.

This is bait, but the best bait is the truth; there is no lie in Jack's arm around her waist, in his fingers tangled through hers.
Miss Phryne Fisher sets a trap, throws a party, and reconciles her differences.
