Review:
When Jeeves's sister passes away, Bertie accompanies his valet to the funeral.
This is a rarity among J&W fic: a serious, thoughtful story told from Bertie's POV. I wouldn't have thought it could be done, but the author not only has pulled it off, but she's made it look easy. Bertie is sweet and supportive as Jeeves attempts to maintain his stoic facade (which Bertie sees through immediately, natch), and it's so easy to see why Jeeves would fall in love with him. You also have a bevy of simply brilliant OCs in Jeeves's family, and by the end of the story I was wishing that we could have seen more of them (from me, there's no higher praise for an OC). Beautiful and touching.
Merry Christmas, Jeeves

Review:
When being suddenly and accidently turned into a woman is the least surprising thing you have to deal with you have to realize that you're either one of the Winchester brothers (...am I wrong?) or you're, you know, Captain America. In this case? You're Cap.
One of the things I've always loved about comic books and comic fandom is the sheer ease of which any given person can be morphed (either by accident or by design) into something or someone else and this story is no exception. Even with Steve having been turned (albeit briefly) into a woman, this story still manages to hang on to an Avenger-esque normality that makes you snicker, grin, and be thankful that in comic-world these things can be fixed. Which, if your worried, does happen with the help of Tony, who's basically the only one who continues to treat Steve like Steve, even if he does have breasts and is disturbingly hot. Mild and snicker inducing, this story is a good way to lift the spirits and have a little fun, even if you aren't into genderbenders.

Author's Summary: Sam Beckett's life is never fair.
Review:
Quantum Leap has always been my 'hard candy' fandom. You know the kind I'm talking about: the fandom you always keep going back to because you know what you're getting into and even if you don't end up liking it, it’ll always satiate a craving for you. That’s what QL is for me and the craving it tends to satiate is the angst or bittersweet love craving I get from time to time. Don’t get me wrong, I love pretty much every QL story I’ve read, but unless Sam finally makes the leap home, it’s never really happy, is it?
Never Fair is a prime example of what I mean. It's as bitter as it is sweet and goes a long way to encapsulating one of the ways that Sam and Al could finally be but not really be together. Which is about standard for the fandom. Even so, this doesn't read like an episode, but more of a character insight because even though Sam has leaped into someone's life to put right what once went wrong, he finds himself doing something he rarely does: using the leap as a way to battle loneliness and get real human connection. The kind of connection he wants with Al and Al, for his part, is realizing he wants the same. Even if they can't have the way we do.

Nimueh's got a new plan to kill Merlin -- switch his body with Arthur's!
...
Well, no one ever accused her of being a *successful* villain...
This is some really well done crack, folks, especially since it's done from Arthur's POV (which we don't see nearly enough, IMO). All of the wonderful body-switch cliches are here: hijinks with the king (and basically everyone else in Camalot), secrets revealed, hearing the truth about yourself while in someone else's body, and (of course) ogling your new body at every possible convenience. Add that to good writing, plenty of humor, and Arthur being self-conscious of his *ahem* size, and you've got a must-read fic for all Merlin fans.

Website: Mediageek
Review:
Okay, so I'm springing some obscure fandom on you guys. But, I figured, since this is one of the ones I'll be doing anyway, why not introduce it now?
Gordon Korman was one of the kid's book authors that I still read, because he makes me laugh, and also because he writes "2-close-male-friends" in nearly all of the books, and fandom finds this very slashy indeed. This book, Don't Care High, is one of his oneshot books. Most of my recs will be for the "Bruno & Boots/MacDonald Hall" series and for the oneshot I Want To Go Home, because those are the big draws in fandom. I never thought I'd see a Don't Care High fic, actually.
Don't Care High was about a high school, and the Canadian who moves to it, who is flabbergasted at the total apathy of the student body. He inadvertently, through his efforts to get people to be excited about anything, turns the students into motivated, insanely-devoted-to-the-student-president, destructive mobs. The book ends after the reclusive president (who really needs a fic of his own) moves away. This fic made me wonder for the first time what happened afterward. After all, without a focus, where could all that mob energy go?
A first-time romance springs up, mostly of the pining vs. oblivious kind. The main character, Paul, and his friend, Sheldon, are our romantic leads. Paul canonically stinks with romance, and if anyone could work it out with him, it's Sheldon. The author did a good job tying together small details from the book, and in keeping the fic firmly set in the 1980s. I'm glad that, if there is ever only one DCH fic, that it's this one.

Review:
Okay, so I'm springing some obscure fandom on you guys. But, I figured, since this is one of the ones I'll be doing anyway, why not introduce it now?
Gordon Korman was one of the kid's book authors that I still read, because he makes me laugh, and also because he writes "2-close-male-friends" in nearly all of the books, and fandom finds this very slashy indeed. This book, Don't Care High, is one of his oneshot books. Most of my recs will be for the "Bruno & Boots/MacDonald Hall" series and for the oneshot I Want To Go Home, because those are the big draws in fandom. I never thought I'd see a Don't Care High fic, actually.
Don't Care High was about a high school, and the Canadian who moves to it, who is flabbergasted at the total apathy of the student body. He inadvertently, through his efforts to get people to be excited about anything, turns the students into motivated, insanely-devoted-to-the-student-president, destructive mobs. The book ends after the reclusive president (who really needs a fic of his own) moves away. This fic made me wonder for the first time what happened afterward. After all, without a focus, where could all that mob energy go?
A first-time romance springs up, mostly of the pining vs. oblivious kind. The main character, Paul, and his friend, Sheldon, are our romantic leads. Paul canonically stinks with romance, and if anyone could work it out with him, it's Sheldon. The author did a good job tying together small details from the book, and in keeping the fic firmly set in the 1980s. I'm glad that, if there is ever only one DCH fic, that it's this one.
