The Haunting by D.L. Witherspoon (R)

For the Supernatural/Horror/Dark fic week...


Title : The Haunting
Fandom : The Sentinel
Pairings : Gen
Categories : Supernatural
Length : Medium (~ 11000 words)
Warnings : Non graphic mention of children's tortures, rapes and murders

Author in LJ : n/a
Author website : TV Lit 101

Summary :
42 people were cruelly murdered. Now they want Jim to find their killer.

Review :
This fic is part of a bigger verse by D.L. Whiterspoon but can be read alone. You can find all the other stories on the author's website.

I always enjoy reading a story where Jim gets a kind of sixth sense... And the author makes it believable here. I like how Jim is both strong and vulnerable in this story. It makes him very human in spite of his extra abilities. Blair and Simon are also well-written. There are strong enough to help Jim overcomes the difficulties he faces during this case.

The fic deals with dark themes (see the warning above) but in a non graphic way. And I don't think it's harder than what you could see or read int the press in such a police case report.

Pairing: Arthur/Merlin

Summary: In which Merlin is promoted from production intern to talent, is easily mortified, and has Post-It arguments with Arthur while the art department watches in glee. Also, there are gay dragons.

Review:
Following last week's super-meta fandom fic, I thought I'd rec a story where the characters are on the other side of the curtain, namely, TV! Merlin and Arthur are voice actors on the series Kilgharrah’s Adventures, which is an animated children's cartoon about Gary the dragon and his boyfriend Kestrel. It's kind of a mishmash of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic meets Avatar: the Last Airbender meets the LGBT-positive show that I'd wish I'd had in my childhood, and if wishes were horses, I'd have sold them to get this show on the air because it sounds so awesome and cute. Arthur and Merlin's Post-It romance is joyful and snarky, just how I like it, and I loved how the secondary characters really shown through in the story.

The Indelible series by Penumbren (NC-17)

Title: The Indelible series.
Fandom: Marvel (616/Noir).
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark.
Categories: Action, Angst, Romance.
Length: Super!Epic (43,825 + 60,971 words).
Warnings: None.

Review:
In "Indelible" an accident causes 616!post-deletion!Tony and Noir!Tony to switch places. While Noir!Tony struggles to find his place in a world where all the friends he remembers are wary of him because of events he cannot remember, 616!Tony, certain he has been abandoned, starts building a place for himself through his friendship with Steve. In "A Long Hard Road" Noir!Tony and Noir!Steve try to build a friendship and later a relationship while the twin ghosts of 616!Tony and WWII lurk in the background.

There are not many Noir!verse stories out there, so the fact that most of the action in the series takes place in the 40s was one of the things I liked most about it. Unsurprisingly, though I usually can't get enough of good stories patching Tony and Steve's relationship post-Registration, my favourite parts of the Indelible series take place in the Noir!verse. 616!Tony and Noir!Tony's relationships with Steve are beautifully constructed in very different ways. I love the fact Penumbren manages to make both Tonys dissimilar enough that it shows that they have been affect by their different life experiences, yet still managing to make them similar enough that the fact that they are both versions of one person is never in doubt.

All in all, this is a very long, very well written series that delivers a lot of ultimately satisfying emotional upheavals.
