FIC LINK: Fathers and Sons
AUTHOR LINK: [archiveofourown.org profile] MACRA
RATING/WARNING(S): General Audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete/2108 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Iroh, Zuko

FIC SUMMARY: Like fate, the bonds of family are a chancy thing.


RECCER'S NOTES: One of my favorite Iroh-centric fics. How it treats Iroh and fatherhood was well done.

RATING/WARNING(S): G | none
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 3700 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Zuko, Katara

FIC SUMMARY: The pen is mightier than the sword, or how Zuko saves the day via the power of good penmanship.

RECCER'S NOTES: Short, powerful, beautiful: what Zuko did in the capital after the last Agni Kai. Not many fics can so convincingly add to character backstory; or use the style of AtLA so perfectly, down to the language and tone of its jokes; or add humour to drama without dampening either. This one does. It's a terrific idea, and one of the best Avatar fics it's ever been my pleasure to read.

RATING/WARNING(S): PG
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 1,100 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Toph, Suki, Katara

FIC SUMMARY: They could do anything, after the war.

RECCER'S NOTES:

What to do after the war? I love how all three of them grapple with this question, and how different and how similar it is for them. Their thoughts ring true to me, and I love the conclusion they come to.

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.

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.
