osprey_archerMy family is going to be in Toronto from Sunday to Thursday. The computer is staying home as a punishment for past transgressions, so I am reccing some fics to tide you over in my absence.
One Minute, Counting, Pushing Daisies, gen, PG. This is a fantastic fic - heartbreaking and funny and a perfect illustration of eucatastrophe. It's told in a brilliant Emerson voice (the world needs more marvelous Emerson voice), and Ned's dialogue is spot on too.
I don't want to discuss the plot - it's a short fic, and that would give things away - but here's the first sentence to get you started:
"Oh hell no," Emerson said, which wasn't part of the speech he'd prepared in case this ever happened, but he'd allowed himself a certain latitude. (Improvised preamble. Cussing.)
Jeeves and the Red Legion, Jeeves & Wooster (still haven't read any of the source material. Must get on that), G. I think it's gen but if one were so inclined one could read it otherwise.
Excellent Wooster voice (and, for a bonus, excellent Jeeves voice too); a tense, taut, thoroughly satisfying plot, a little h/c (not too intense - this is Wodehouse - but well done), beautiful banter. Also, Communist jokes. Who can resist that?
Emostein, Frankenstein, gennish, G. A brilliant send-up of sentimental literature; it made me laugh out loud. (It's also totally understandable even if you haven't read Frankenstein. I say this with authority, because - this is becoming a theme here - I am unfamiliar with the canon work.)
I've been trying to pick out a quote for this one, but the fic is so much of a piece that it really all has to be read together; it adds up to a delicious short story.
