MAIN CHARACTERS: Irma Pince, the Lbrarian (Discworld)

FIC SUMMARY: Ook, it said, and Irma closed her eyes and smiled a little smile.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This story made me smile.
It is a wonderful little crossover, it blends the fandoms well together. I wish all libraries had a Librarian to help them out.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Faramir; cameos of other characters

FIC SUMMARY: Faramir has spent his life in the shadow of great men. As a child, he found his heroes in stories. As he grows up, he seeks them in the world outside his window. But when future generations tell their tales of Faramir's time, who are the heroes who most inspire them?

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is a wonderful character study of Faramir. It is detailed and layered, and I love all the little details and touches.
It also explores what stories mean to people.

RATING/WARNING(S): PG-13
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 2,500 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Ichabod Crane, Jenny Mills, Abbie Mills, Frank Irving

FIC SUMMARY: “Here’s what I figure,” Abbie said. “You need to catch up to modern culture. But you should catch up in stages. By degrees. Even Mark Twain was a little too far ahead for you, so let’s take it back a step. We’ll start you off with what’s closest to your time period, and move forward a few decades at a time until you’re back in the groove.”
So she starts Ichabod with a novel Corbin gave her long ago: Sense & Sensibility.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is tagged as pre-het, but I didn't see this here.
At the core of the story is the relationship between the Mills sisters. I love their relationship here. They ring very true to me.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Pepper Potts, Christine Everhart

FIC SUMMARY: One is the personal assistant to a billionaire-playboy-turned-superhero. The other is an ambitious journalist with a political conscience. Together, they fight crime!

RECCER'S NOTES: This was such a great idea to let the characters meet again like they did here. Love how Pepper and Christine become friends, and how they bond over something other than men or their jobs.
