FANDOM: Pushing Daisies
FIC LINK: Li'l Gumshoe
AUTHOR LINK:

Redrikki
RATING/WARNING(S): G, no warnings apply
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete, 2466 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Penny Cod, Lila Robinson, Emerson Cod, Olive Snook, Ned, Charlotte "Chuck" Charles

FIC SUMMARY: Young Penny Cod was nine years, two hours, and forty-three minutes old when she found the book which changed her life. Like hundreds of other little black girls who would encounter Li’l Gumshoe, she felt as though it had been written just for her. The difference was, Penny Cod was right.

RECCER'S NOTES: I've always been kind of bummed about the fact that we never got to see Emerson Cod reunite with his daughter on the show. This fic helped fill that gap nicely, fitting with the tone of the show quite well.

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 5289 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Veronica Mars, Keith Mars, Dick Casablancas, Logan Echolls

FIC SUMMARY: Eight weeks and six days after Lily's funeral, Veronica takes her first case: catching Richard Casablancas, Sr. on camera with a local stripper. All she has to do is lie to her dad long enough to get the money shot. Should be easy, right?

RECCER'S NOTES:

This fic explores all the chaos and stress the Mars family are going through right before we meet them in canon. Veronica's voice is spot on and her interactions with Keith are perfect. It's definitely the perfect set up for the first season and the Veronica we come to know and love.

RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 4444
MAIN CHARACTERS: Homer Simpson, Lisa Simpson

FIC SUMMARY: Homer observes Lisa as she becomes close to Patty's newest girlfriend.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is gorgeous. Homer is so in character and his voice is spot on - it doesn't go too far into over the top stupid, but it points out his flaws as well, including the ones that have only gotten worse as time has gone on, gently steering him right again without changing him into someone else. His relationship with Lisa is really sweetly done, and Lisa is her bright, clever little self. This is just beautiful.

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen
WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete / 67 000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Barry Allen, Iris West, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Joe West

FIC SUMMARY: Three months after the singularity, a wave of impossible robberies strikes Central City, and there is one obvious suspect: the Flash. But as Barry and his friends unite to track down the real culprit, they find themselves facing a dangerous new enemy in a pursuit that may cost them everything.

Post season 1.

RECCER'S NOTES: An epic, plotty imagining of what might have happened after the season one finale. If you spent the summer hoping Iris would finally get to be part of the gang, or wondering what DCU villains might make an appearance, this is the fic to scratch that itch. Plus: friendship and teamwork! So many feels.

RATING/WARNING(S): PG | background canon pairings
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 7,000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Lucy Weasley, Percy Weasley; cameos of other Weasleys

FIC SUMMARY: Lucy Weasley was the most overlooked Weasley grandchild. Until, that is, the day she punched her cousin James in the face.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is a wonderful character study of Lucy Weasley. It also depicts a great father-daughter relationship. I like this realistic take on next generational conflict, and post-war feelings.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Keith Mars, Veronica Mars

FIC SUMMARY: Filling in what happens to the Mars family between what we saw in flashbacks - Keith tries to keep his family together after Lilly's murder.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Keith and Veronica are one of my favourite father/daughter teams of all time, and this fic builds a history for them just perfectly. It's sweet and funny and a little bit sad, and sums up everything I love about these two.

RATING/WARNING(S): G | spoilers for S1
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 1075
MAIN CHARACTERS: Rustin 'Rust' Cohle, Martin 'Marty' Hart

FIC SUMMARY: Rust can still feel the weight of the girl in his arms, but it’s not Marty’s daughter he’s remembering.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is the second True Detective fic I've rec'd by this author, and it's beautiful. It's introspective, sad and heartwarming. Rust watches Marty's daughters in their yard and reflects on his own family's past. It's a little snippet of life that's totally believable and really, really beautifully written.

FIC LINK: Seven Years

RATING/WARNING(S): None provided, we'll call it PG to be safe
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 3600
MAIN CHARACTERS: Charlie Swan, Bella Swan

FIC SUMMARY: Charlie's an old hand at being left behind by women; he could show Edward and Jacob a trick or two.

RECCER'S NOTES:

I am not 100% familiar on Twilight canon, I will admit. I've read the books once each, and I've only seen two of the movies, so I can't really vouch for how in-character this fic is, I guess...
But I really did enjoy this. I liked seeing an exploration of Charlie and Bella's relationship, and the similarities between them, and Charlie kind of progressing as a father in a way that just happens naturally or accidentally (which feels pretty canon-y to me).
Bella leaves Edward before she marries him, grows up and has a life, and Charlie watches her and tries to figure her out, and it's really, really lovely.
(The comments make reference to "the next part" but after a quick hunt I couldn't find any obvious sequel, and this is whole within itself anyway.)

WIP?/WORD COUNT: 7069
MAIN CHARACTERS: Luna Lovegood, Severus Snape, Xenophilius Lovegood

FIC SUMMARY: After the end of the war, Luna makes two surprising discoveries: her father attempted to give Harry to Lord Voldemort, and Severus Snape is alive.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Eee, this is amazing! Luna tries to deal with her own personal fallout after the war, including having to adjust to the knowledge that her father tried to turn Harry over to the Death Eaters.
Her relationship with Snape is perfect - he's all hard edges, scorn and resistance, and Luna is determination, curiosity and kindness. Really lovely fic, and adding an 'author rec' tag because I would recommend just about everything on this author's page - gen and shippy fic.

RATING/WARNING(S): G (Also, it was written while season 1 was airing, so there are no major spoilers.)
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 1070
MAIN CHARACTERS: Keith Mars, Veronica Mars

FIC SUMMARY: Woke up, fell out of bed...

RECCER'S NOTES: One of my favourite things about Veronica Mars (and I have a lot of favourite things about that show) is the relationship between Keith and Veronica. This is a lovely Keith-POV fic which conveys the two of them really well <3
