The Indiscretion of the Hon. John Fairfield, by Dafna Greer

2007-12-30

[Dorothy L. Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey]

Title: The Indiscretion of the Hon. John Fairfield
Author: Dafna Greer [info]dafnagreer
Summary: "If ever there was a fellow so stupid as to not only bugger his valet but to actually fall in love with him, it'd be Fairfield."
Pairing: Lord Peter Wimsey/Bunter
Rating: R

Why?

Another Wimsey/Bunter fic where everything is unspoken, including between the two protagonists, to the point where we're not sure whether it's all in Peter's mind. All characters are captured perfectly.

Title: Hardly Chastened
Author: Apathy Jane [info]apatheia-jane
Summary: M punishes Bond with endless surveillance missions. He takes matters into his own hands.

Why?

Short and to the point, this captures the essence of Bond: a man who will do anything to get the job done. Extremely hot to boot.

And The Better Man, by obstinatrix

2007-12-30

[Dorothy L. Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey]

Title: And The Better Man
Author: obstinatrix
Summary: ‘We were together since the War began.
He was my servant, and the better man.’
Pairing: Lord Peter Wimsey/Bunter
Rating: PG

Why?

Again, not a story written for me, but it could as well have been.

All the unspoken feelings between Bunter and Peter, that I can just imagine being there in canon. Lovely, understated, and somewhat heart-breaking.

The First Twelve, by Thingswithwings

2007-12-25

[Twelfth Night]

Title: The First Twelve
Author: [info]thingswithwings
Summary: Viola and Orsino work things out. With additional appearances by Feste, Olivia, and, of course, Cesario.
Pairing: Orsino/Viola
Rating: NC-17

Why?

Orsino and Viola both realise that Cesario is much easier to deal with. Hilariously funny.

Power of Persuasion, by Moofoot

2007-12-25

[James Bond]

Title: Power of Persuasion
Author: Moofoot [info]ramblinwanderer
Summary: If there's one thing Bond can't stand, it's not knowing all the answers, and that's the one thing that Villiers is betting on most.
Pairing: James Bond/Villiers
Rating: PG-13

Why?

I don't know what's up with the amount of Villiers fic we've got this year, but I approve wholeheartedly. We don't see enough of him in the movie to get a good grip of his character, but I really, really like this interpretation.

I also like a lot Bond's characterisation: a bit uncertain, a lot immature, but growing up and learning.

The Emperor's Curve, by the Yuletide Fairy

2007-12-25

[Vorkosigan]

Title: The Emperor’s Curve
Author: Yuletide Fairy [info]yuletidefairy
Summary: A Barrayaran Political Science Thesis.
Characters: Gregor Vorbarra, Cordelia Vorkosigan
Rating: PG

Why?

This wasn't written for me, but it could as well have been. A defining moment of Gregor's upbringing, that proves a wonderful hindsight into Gregor's relationship with Cordelia.
