Summary:
For the prompt "No divorce on the beach - Charles goes with Erik": Charles may be dead, but that doesn't mean he's gone.

Review:
Instead of being injured at the end of First Class, Charles dies, and Erik and the rest of the mutants return to Westchester to heal and re-group. But Erik notices that everyone is acting increasingly strangely, and Erik can't seem to leave.

This is right on target for our Supernatural/Horror week. It's sort-of a canon fix it, if by fixing the ending of First Class you upped the creepy factor by 100%. Lavvyan shows off her talent in painting a situation that is both grimly disturbing and somewhat happy, in so few words. She's turned canon fix-it fics on end, the very definition of 'be careful what you wish for.'

This chilling story is perfect for anyone that likes a good ghost story, and doesn't mind major character deaths or a little mind control in their fics.

Title: Cross
Fandom: Dresden Files
Pairing: Harry Dresden/John Marcone
Categories: AU, drama, supernatural, ghosts
Length: Long (33,878 words)
Warnings: spoilers through Changes, contains canon character death, bittersweet ending

Summary:
Post-Changes AU. "Because," Dresden said, "you’re going to bring me back." He hesitated, looking somewhat sour. "You’re the only one who can, apparently."

Review:
I can't resist reccing another excellent ghost story for our theme week. This one has a much happier resolution than my last rec, though still bittersweet.

First of all, if you haven't read the twelfth Dresden Files Book, Changes, and you're adverse to major spoilers, this is not the fic (or rec) for you, so I've hidden some of the rec behind a cut. ( Cut for Major Spoilers )

Lightgetsin gives us a great Marcone POV, and fills out the story with many of the Dresden regular characters. I particularly liked her Mouse, especially through Marcone's eyes, and Bob voice, but she just *gets* all the characters. From the guts out to their voices, she has them nailed.

Like any good Dresden story, it's drama with a combination of a case-fic, humor, and some action thrown in. The relationship between Harry and John is awkward, intense, full of misunderstandings, in character, and I loved it. I actually like this resolution to Changes better than Ghost Story (shh, don't tell Jim Butcher); partially because I like the Dresden/Marcone ship, but also because its a tightly written story that dovetails well into the Dresden universe.
