WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete, 644 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Gertrude Yorkes, Molly Hernandez

FIC SUMMARY: Molly and Gert enjoy something they never thought they would get to experience living in Los Angeles: a snow day.

RECCER'S NOTES: A pre-canon ficlet about Molly, Gert and their best/worst snowman ever. It's funny, touching and sweet, and it always makes me smile. :) If you just want to read a happy story, this one doesn't require canon knowledge, but at the same time it's perfectly in character.

I got it as a gift during the Marvel/DC Holiday Bingo Exchange.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Naomi Wildman, Seven of Nine, Kathryn Janeway, B'Elanna Torres

FIC SUMMARY: Holodeck Access Records (Weekly History) - Wildman, Naomi

RECCER'S NOTES: One of my favorite things about Naomi is that, even though she's a kid, she gets to do her own thing and explore everything she's interested in, even if it could be considered "too mature for her age". And this fic is full of this freedom of playing, learning, researching, creating, making friends, making mistakes... It's perfect. I'm also in awe of the Author's creativity when coming up with all the different holodeck programs. And it's one of the cutest fics I've ever read in my life (and I'm not saying it just because I got it as a gift at

space_swap). ♥

WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 1,700 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Daniel Jackson, The Librarian (Discworld), assorted Wizards (Discworld)

FIC SUMMARY: For long moments, man and ape stared at one another. Finally, Daniel said, "If you're a Furling, Jack is never going to let me live this down."
"Ook," the creature replied sympathetically.
Daniel takes a wrong turn in an off-world library and strays through L-Space to Unseen University.

RECCER'S NOTES: This was just delightful, it had me smiling so much. Love Daniel's view on the wizards, and of course the Librarian is awesome as always.
This is like a light-hearted pick-me-up.

AUTHOR LINK:

PreludeInZ
RATING/WARNING(S): PG | canon-typical violence
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete (series of unconnected oneshots) | 10,500
MAIN CHARACTERS: Miss Pauling, the Mercs

FIC SUMMARY: These are short pieces that exist to give [Miss Pauling] some backstory, and to expand a bit on her relationship with the mercs in Vignettes from the War and the End of the World, particularly her relationship with Scout.

It is extremely fluffy. I am just really fond of Miss Pauling.

RECCER'S NOTES:
A charming little series about a woman who professionally disposes of people in shallow graves, possibly with the help of quicklime. Or flesh-eating beetles. Or a chainsaw. The narrative voice is really good here.
Two of the stories are tagged Scout/Miss Pauling, but only the second can really be considered non-gen and since all are entirely unrelated, you can skip it with no issues

MAIN CHARACTERS: Charlie Thomas, Watson Brewer

FIC SUMMARY: Watson wants to give Charlie a gift for graduation, but is it too much?

RECCER'S NOTES:

So today I'm home feel sick and sore and incredibly sorry for myself. What better cure than fluffy, indulgent fanfiction?
This was a gift for me for

chocolateboxcomm - I had requested some Watson & stepkid interaction and one of my long-standing requests is Watson splashing his money around to spoil his kids. (I mean isn't that the point of being a real, live millionaire?)
Charlie's voice is wonderful here and this fic has spawned a heap of head canon for me, which I think all good fics do. The interaction with Watson is sweet and realistic. It only takes a minute or so to read but it leaves me with the warm and fuzzies.

RATING/WARNING(S): General Audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: No/1160
MAIN CHARACTERS: Bill the Lizard, the Gryphon, The Mock Turtle

FIC SUMMARY:

Bill the Lizard enjoyed his afternoons off when he visited the Gryphon and Mock Turtle. Today, their three-angled conversation first ranged over the usual pleasantries
... and then they planned a party.

RECCER'S NOTES: Lovely fic on what Bill does on his day off: has tea and sandwiches with the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle. A great combination of various Alice in Wonderland canons to tell a brief tale.

FIC SUMMARY: David Cameron's first night in office.

RECCER'S NOTES:

I've been meaning to catch up on posting here more regularly, and I think this fic is kind of timely. Short and cute, and captures the dazed-muggle-experiences-magic thing very well. A little feel-good fic. :)

MAIN CHARACTERS: Shiro, Pidge, Hunk, Lance, Keith, Allura, Coran

FIC SUMMARY: Five times that no one was thinking of Shiro as a dad.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This fic has a mix of everything. It's the first in a series but it's complete within itself and it's like a rollercoaster of all of my favourite things - found family, angst, fluffy feels, hurt/comfort, and there's a great sense of humour all woven through it as well.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Elmo, The Count, Telly Monster, Grover, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Murray Monster, Steve Rogers, Clint Barton, Tony Stark, JARVIS, Thor, Natasha Romanov, Bruce Banner, Nick Fury, Phil Coulson

FIC SUMMARY: This fic is brought to you by the letter Y, the number 12, and the Avengers' decision to help fix what Loki and the Chitauri did to destroy parts of Manhattan. (Mostly that last part.)

RECCER'S NOTES:

Somebody rec'd this to me ages ago and I dismissed it as "not my thing" - but oh, I was wrong. This is DELIGHTFUL. Played so much straighter than I thought it would be, and it's adorable and funny and the perfect pick-me-up fic.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, Tony Stark

FIC SUMMARY: Carter J. Grant’s artistic work on the new Captain America books comes with mixed reviews from the Coulson, Barton team of comic critics.

RECCER'S NOTES:

Quick, fluffy and adorable. I have a real soft spot for "Avengers living in the tower and doing lazy things like eating breakfast or watching movies together" fics, and this is one of them. There's a great thread of humour all through this fic. It left me with a smile on my face.

FIC LINK: The Very Happiest Place on Earth
AUTHOR LINK:

ArisTGD
RATING/WARNING(S): G | None
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 2675
MAIN CHARACTERS: Adam Adamant, Georgina Jones, William Simms

FIC SUMMARY: Adam, Georgie, and Simms are on holiday, but will Adam's desire for a quiet day ever be fulfilled?

RECCER'S NOTES: Because Adam Adamant Lives! is a thing of adorable adorableness and pure distilled 1960s-ness, and this fic captures all of that perfectly. Adam, Georgie, and Simms try to have a holiday, and while Georgie and Simms manage to make the most of Disneyland, Adam tackles villains as usual, with the added humour of seeing one of the series’s typical improbable plots only in glimpses between rides. Anyway, it’s heaps of fun, and every bit as delightful as the show.

WIP?/WORD COUNT: 2012
MAIN CHARACTERS: Sixth Doctor, Donna Noble, Peri Brown, Wilfred Mott, Sylvia Noble.

FIC SUMMARY: The Doctor takes Peri on holiday to Devon, except it isn't Devon: it's Strathclyde.

RECCER'S NOTES: Because, of course, it’s not only Eleven who can be adorable with children, nor is wee Amelia the only companion who was pretty great as a child, and this fic proves it, as the Sixth Doctor runs into a six-year-old Donna Noble. Neither of them are where they ought to be. It’s great – sweet and funny and true to all the characters involved. Plus there may be a Planet of the Hats, who knows?

MAIN CHARACTERS: Natasha Romanov; Clint Barton, Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers, Thor

FIC SUMMARY: Clint isn't sure what's really relieving Natasha's stress—the knitting, or the part where she foists the horrible results off on other people.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is sweet and funny and hilarious. Love Natasha here and her relations to her team mates. And especially I love their reactions to their gifts.

FIC SUMMARY: Inara treats Kaylee and Zoe to a rare delicacy from Earth-That-Was. Kaylee's not so sure it's her cup of tea.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a lovely, short-and-sweet little ficlet with some of my favourite ladies. It's a nice little glimpse of world building and female friendship, two of my favourite things.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Steve Rogers, Phil Coulson, Tony Stark

FIC SUMMARY: "Those were near mint, sir," Coulson says when he finds out that Fury dipped his vintage Captain America trading cards in his cooling lifeblood before tossing them, careless and callous, on the table in front of Steve and Tony.

RECCER'S NOTES:

I have been in utter misery lately because I broke a tooth and I need a root canal and ugh I've been in so much pain and just wanting allllll the fandom comforts. This fic fits the bill perfectly - it's sweet and comes with a perfect blend of sadness and fluff. Steve is adorable and kind, Tony pops in and is just so totally TONY, and the end managed to put a smile on my face even when smiling was physically painful. Go read! ♥

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen and Up
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 1878
MAIN CHARACTERS: Joey Jenkins

FIC SUMMARY: When Joey Jenkins was picked for the 1994 English national Quidditch team, he felt like his heart was taking flight.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is the kind of thing fanfiction was made for. To fill in and enrich what already exists in canon and to discover even greater depths in even the smallest things. All we know about the Chudley Cannons from the books is that they are orange, terrible, Ron's favorite team, and on the cover of his book is pictured beater Joey Jenkins. But Roberval takes those tiny details and gives us a team that breaks your heart with its heartfelt warmth.

Best enjoyed with a warm glass of honeyed milk.

FIC SUMMARY: Snape finds himself on the wrong end of a jinx that causes him to randomly burst into song. Takes place during the events of Half-Blood Prince.

Winner of the Tumblr Prompts Contest by hpfanfictionprompts (Prompt 214).

RECCER'S NOTES: I thought this was hilarious -- I absolutely laughed out loud. Poor Snape gets the bad end of a curse intended for Malfoy and goes through various trials and tribulations while he attempts to fix the problem -- finally having to resort to a pair of unlikely heroes.

FIC SUMMARY: Tag to 'Daredevils' Just a little bit of introspection on Shawn's part. Don't want to say too much, so check it out.

RECCER'S NOTES:

A lovely little introspection piece with Shawn contemplating what Gus means to him. Their friendship is one of my favourite things ever, and this fic paints Shawn's thoughts on it very well. Short and sweet.

FIC SUMMARY: Just some little-Gus and little-Shawn sweetness; written for Yuletide madness 2008.

RECCER'S NOTES:

One of my favourite things about Gus and Shawn's friendship is that is near life-long, and I adore the idea of Gus trying to fit some kid!logic around Shawn's uncanny abilities. They are both adorable and hilarious in this fic, and again, a short and sweet feel-good story to put a smile on your face.

FIC SUMMARY: Mary works the late shift at this diner, and John visits her. Sam and Dean also visit her.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is really beautiful. There are touches of John/Mary, but this is most definitely a gen fic. It's bittersweet and haunting in the best possible way.
