WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 848
MAIN CHARACTERS: Martin 'Marty' Hart, Rustin 'Rust' Cohle

FIC SUMMARY: “You coming out tomorrow?” Marty threads the car around a plodding Cadillac without using his turn signal.

Rust takes a drag off his cigarette. “I tell you my views on patriotism, Marty, we’re gonna be here a while, and the drive home ain’t that long.”

RECCER'S NOTES:

A beautifully written little fic about Rust watching 4th of July fireworks. I love dancinguniverse's TD fics. The language and the characterisation is just utterly gorgeous.

FIC SUMMARY: “You need a ship?” The voice is a rainbow, and Rust glances up, thrown. Even after he cleared the psych station, everything here on Ariel has been muted shades of gray and brown, hard silver and white. The girl smiles at him from her lawn chair, twirling a parasol the color of her voice.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Don't ask me how this works, but it does, and it's amazing. I have no idea how big the audience for this crossover is likely to be, but I have to rec it. Rust's voice is perfect and the way his synesthesia is woven through everything - it adds so much. I love the way Rust is during his time on Serenity, and the way everything pans out. Really clever, and written with a subtle touch that works absolutely perfectly.
