RATING/WARNING(S): General, no content warnings apply
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 9189
MAIN CHARACTERS: Letty Ketterley, Mabel Ketterley, Mrs Lefay

FIC SUMMARY: Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. You might have read about their remarkable adventure in a book called The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. This story is not about Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy.

In the book, The Magician's Nephew, there was another family with two sisters and a brother. Their names were Mabel, Letty, and Andrew Ketterley. Andrew was the Magician in the book and I am sure we can all agree not a very good one. Andrew stole some magic dust from his fairy godmother, Mrs. Lefay, and turned the dust into magic rings.

This is the story about Mabel, Letty, and Mrs. Lefay and how this whole adventure with Narnia began.

RECCER'S NOTES: We only see Letty for such a short time in The Magician's Nephew, but she is characterised by an iron will and strong nerves. We see them both in this story, that shows her doing her duty and taking her chances, and making a choice. I think, too, that we can see how things might have been different, if only Mrs Lefay had seen what Letty was made of. What a witch Letty would have made! But that's a piece of character exploration for another day.

Eeep, I'm so sorry this post is so late! But here are the banners for our June Gensploders, [personal profile] espresso_addict and [personal profile] 100demons! Thank you both for being such fabulous Gensploders! Please please please let me know if there are errors in these tables - both mods were a bit slack keeping track with our spreadsheet last month, and it's possible we missed something. We also counted each fandom listed in the tags - "Tolkien" and "Lord of the Rings" have been counted as separate fandoms even if they were used for the same rec. It won't take much to change that if you want us to rectify your fandom total, though - just let us know!

FANDOM: Baccano!
FIC LINK: While Recognizing the Importance of Luck in Certain Situations, Eve Genoard Continues to Disapprove of Gambling
AUTHOR LINK: ryfkah
RATING/WARNING(S): Kidnapping, and some non-explicit torture
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete, 10,000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Luck Gandor, Eve Genoard

FIC SUMMARY: Eve Genoard's continuing efforts to rescue her brother bring about some unexpected consequences, including (but not limited to) kidnapping, arson, concealed weapons, severed fingers, and a high-stakes game of billiards.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is Baccano! Fanfiction at its finest, with a well-thought out plot that makes use of both the characters' mafia ties and their immortality (or lack of it, depending on the character). The voices are fantastic, too.


FANDOM: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Baccano!
FIC LINK: A Series of Fortunate (If Inexplicable) Events
AUTHOR LINK: cosmogyral
RATING/WARNING(S): None
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete, 1700-ish words?
MAIN CHARACTERS: Toph Bei-Fong, Sokka, Isaac Dian, Miria Harvent

FIC SUMMARY: [No summary given, unfortunately.]

RECCER'S NOTES: This fic (or series of fics, technically) is hilarious, and it's absolutely everything a crossover should be. Toph and Sokka are sent on a quest to apprehend a corrupt ruler, only two meet two extremely strange characters along the way.

FANDOM: Metal Gear Solid/House
FIC LINK: House Call (orhere.)
AUTHOR LINK: Athena Crikey
RATING/WARNING(S): Not rated, None
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete, Wordcount Unknown (It's pretty long, though.)
MAIN CHARACTERS: Solid Snake, Otacon, Gregory House

FIC SUMMARY: When Hal falls ill with something other doctors are quick to push off as the flu, who's left for Dave to turn to?

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a crossover that absolutely shouldn't work, but does. The very concept of two superspies/terrorists laid up in a hospital and being forced to deal with House is amazing, and House's personality and diagnostic attempts are great.

FANDOM: Homestuck
FIC LINK: How Karkat Vantas Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Con Air
AUTHOR LINK: urbanAnchorite
RATING/WARNING(S): G, None
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete, 4500 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: John Egbert, Karkat Vantas

FIC SUMMARY: "John and Karkat rope each other into having an intense slumber party movie night. Popcorn, sleeping bags, the works."

The moment Karkat sees the sleeping bags, John sees him change his mind.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is worth reading for the troll movie titles alone. But even if that sort of thing doesn't pull you in, the humor, excellent characterization, and overall adorableness should be enough to make you fall in love.
