Hi there. ^^ I've been enjoying recs from this comm for years. It's probably time I gave a little back!

Title: Nice Holystone Remains Unafraid to Throw Herself Into Explosive Situations
Fandom: Baccano!
Pairing: mostly Nice/Jacuzzi though romance isn't the point of this story
Categories: Adventure
Length: complete at 13,869 words
Warnings: none, rated PG-13
Author on LJ DW: skygiants (http://skygiants.dreamwidth.org/)
Author Website: AO3 works page (http://archiveofourown.org/users/ryfkah/works)

Summary: Here's what's what: he's definitely going to jail. They're definitely not going to Chicago. She won't stop playing with fire. She's decided to start playing games. He never knew what hit him. He should have known what hit him. It's a small underworld, after all.

Review: I fondly describe Baccano! as the anime where everyone's crazy, and this fic lives up to it. C: It has careful plotting, some nice allusions to real-life events, and a surprising twist to a certain earnest character. I really liked the added insight for Jacuzzi and Nice. A delightful and true addition to canon.

Title: Okaeri
Fandom: Inuyasha
Pairing: Kagome/Inuyasha
Categories: Adventure, post-canon
Length: complete at 163,986 words
Warnings: none, rated PG-13
Author on LJ: no idea, sorry!
Author Website: MediaMiner profile page (http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/src.php/u/75875)

Summary: After the end of their quest, Inuyasha and Kagome adjust to life in modern Tokyo. But there are still secrets in the past, and dangers in the present. And finding a place to call home may be the most difficult thing of all...

Review:
I've read quite a few fics where Inuyasha ends up in Kagome's time, but this one stands out! I enjoyed how the author handled things, and Inuyasha's character and slow adaptation to life in modern Tokyo. The mystery and new villain were written well, and did not have that monster-of-the-day feel. ^^

Title: As the World Falls Down
Fandom: Labyrinth
Pairing: Sarah/Jareth
Categories: Adventure, post-canon, Romance
Length: complete at 67,970 words
Warnings: none, rated G
Author on LJ: no idea, sorry!
Author Website: FF.net profile page (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/67432/Jade9)

Summary: Sarah returns home for Toby's tenth birthday, after breaking up with her latest boyfriend. Some strange coincidences start her thinking more and more about the Labyrinth...and its King...

Review: This fic is solidly written. While it does begin rather tropey, I was pleased with how the author resolved it in the fic's first half, and moved on to less predictable things. Stick it out! The small cast of OCs and expanded bit canon characters truly shine! A good, enjoyable adventure fic with a touch of romance.
