jamjarIt's up and all over here. First off, I got an excellent Querl Dox fic, Demythologizers, which is amazingly written and has Braniac 5 being brilliant, manipulative and playing scrabble when he's not playing other games. It's absolutely fantastic, with aliens being just as alien as they should be, spot-on characterisation, intelligence and... it's just really, reaaly good and you all should read it.
Other recommendations: Bright Iron, Bitter Ashes, featuring Cinderella from Fables. Beautifully written, frequently disturbing. Highly recommended.
Dream Fish, Arthur Curry (Aquaman), DCU. Nicely written, some nice lines and excellent guest-appearance.
Mentor Management, Mia Dearden (Arrowfamily/Titans). Good team fic, as well as good Mia fic. "See, the med-lab is white, and your costume is black, yellow, green and red, and your face is still a little bit pink. So you don't blend in with the walls, Robin." The sort of fic that one feels should be longer, or maybe in a series, sort of like only getting the one issue of a title you like.
Yet Unfound, Owen Mercer/Harkness, DCU. Family, and the final section just gets me.
Para-dox, Querl Dox, DCU. Another Braniac 5 fic, in a different style to the other, but also well worth reading. Bonus points for excellent use of footnotes and hints of Hitchhiker's Guide.
Leaf The Flying To Us, Vril Dox, DCU [L.E.G.I.O.N]. Botanical experiments, yay!
Take Your Carriage Clock And Shove It, Thessaly, Vertigo. Feels very Gaimen-ish, this one.
