Fandom: Wrestling
Author: Twig
Rating: PG-12
Characters: AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels
Summary: It's not over. It will never be over. [TNA, April 2007]
Reccer’s Note: You know how sometimes a fic will just capture the dynamic of a particular ‘ship. Like, the characters individually, and together, and the way that’s different. This is that fic for Styles/Daniels.

Fandom: Marvelverse (MCU)
Author: st_aurafina
Rating: General audiences
Characters: Clint Barton/Laura Barton/Natasha Romanov
Summary: For bad-ass spies, domesticity is really scary.
Reccer’s Note: In fic set after Age of Ultron, I decided that I required Hawkwife in my Black Widow/Hawkeye fic. This is the perfect Barton/Romanov/Barton fic.

Fandom: Kill Bill
Author: iridescentzen
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Rating: 15
Characters: Danny Williams/Steve McGarrett
Summary: Q: Is he a surfing slacker or decorated navy SEAL?
A: Try both.What is it about extreme surfer Steve "Smooth Dog" McGarrett? Ambitious documentarian Danny Williams has filmed risk-taking sports enthusiasts before, but he's never made a private tape of one of these bad boys…. And it turns out the daring, hot movie version's got nothing on the real thing!But Danny's X-treme documentary is turning into an X-asperating docudrama, since McGarrett won't sign the release form. No paper from McGarrett, no big break for Danny. McGarrett wants to help the fiery little number behind the lens, but he can't because his secret life as a navy SEAL has him deep undercover. Yet as Danny stumbles into the line of fire, all bets are quickly off. Steve's risking everything to save Danny. But will it be enough?
Reccer’s Note: This is a Harlequin AU and its so much fun.

Fandom: Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
Characters: Sakura and the rest of the gang
Rating: PG

Title: On the Lesser-Known Hazards of Piracy
Author: Penknife
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean
Characters: Elizabeth Swann, Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Commodore Norrington
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Jack and Elizabeth find that something has gone terribly awry. Elizabeth knows just who to blame. A silly, smutty romp written for the Kink/Cliche Challenge. AU after the first movie, including some elements of DMC canon and ignoring others.
Reccer’s Notes: I'm still not sure what I like most of the fic - the way Penknife captures the essentially piratical elements of Elizabeth, or Jack Sparrow's ... Captain Jack-ness, or Norrington's self-loathing (actually, I do know, it's Gibbs.) It's that all this is managed despite a fantastical plot, in the best sense of that word. Fantastic fic.

Fandom: Captain Scarlet
Author: BleedingHeartCrow
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Captain Blue, Captain Scarlet, Colonel White and Doctor Fawn
Summary: The War of Nerves is fought throughout Cloudbase, and its chief casualty is peace of mind. Captain Scarlet's not himself; Doctor Fawn thinks he knows why; Colonel White gives a dreadful order; Captain Blue carries the burden.
Reccer’s Note: It's body horror, of the kind that the show never quite touches (possibly because of the intended audience) but hints at, and it's done wonderfully well. Captain Blue is suitably torn by the spoilery thing, and the scene about the dream fits in wonderfully well with the scenes in the series that are set on Mars. Marvellous stuff.

Fandom: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, more filmverse but only slightly.
Author: spycandy
Rating: G
Characters: Peter Guillam and Fawn
Summary: Sometimes all you can do to help is find a more comfortable chair.
Reccer’s Note: Filmverse fic set after everything that happened. But cheerful and yet in character. I have a horrible feeling this is probably how something like this would go.

Translation by Penknife
Fandom: Stargate: Atlantis
Author: Penknife
Rating: PG
Characters: John Sheppard, Ronon Dex
Summary: Figuring out someone else's culture isn't always easy.
Link here
Reccer’s Note: I love all the little details. Most importantly, Zelenka who is right about the language thing. But also Atlantis not being able to translate things and how similar things aren't quite the same between cultures. And Ronon's voice. Great bit of fic.

Fandom: Love Actually
Author: Miggy
Rating: PG
Characters: David/Natalie
Summary: It's taking Natalie a while to adjust to being in the spotlight.
Reccer’s Note: Adorable post-film David/Natalie fic, which focuses on Natalie and the culture shock that's coming. And she continues to be her wonderful self. (Desperately trying not to give away the ending, which is utterly in keeping with the fist in the air yay! things that go on around the characters.)

Fandom: Doctor Who
Author: toesohnoes
Rating: PG
Characters: Jack Harkness/Ninth Doctor
Summary: Jack ends up in police custody. An old friend is there to bail him out - as long as he can keep any spoilers to himself.
Reccer’s Note: In which a post-'The Parting of the Ways' Jack meets a pre-'The Parting of the Ways' Ninth Doctor and it's all very Jack and cheerful longing and bittersweet and lovely.
