Review:
This is an AU 'verse in which it is Brom not Katrina who becomes Ichabod's love interest. And also, as Kadorienne puts it "Brom is not killed by the Horseman; otherwise, the story would have ended, 'And just as soon as Brom started to think the cute cop might be interested, he died. The End.'"

Flippancy aside, these stories are real gems. In the movie, Brom is rather one-dimensional - a strong man, an almost bully, and Ichabod's rival for Katrina - but Kadorienne takes Brom and turns him into a genuine character in his own right. The first story is a rewrite of the movie, setting up the AU elements mentioned above. Nor Check My Courage, however, is the best part of the series wherein Brom is forced to grow as a person and where his and Ichabod's relationship is deepens considerably. I love how Kadorienne takes a character type that normally doesn't interest me much - to put it simply, Brom is the brawn to Ichabod's brains - and make him utterly endearing and three-dimensional without making him out of character from what little we do know of him.

And if you're a fan of Ichabod, never fear, there's plenty of good Ichabod characterization as well. The series is primarily from Brom's POV and we get a wonderful perspective on Ichabod. Brom is fully aware of his fascination for Ichabod and as he is written through his eyes, it's easy for the reader to understand why. Kadorienne strikes just the right balance between Ichabod's squeamishness and tendency to swoon and his paradoxical bravery and determination. He is remarkably in character for such a tricky-to-write personality.
