Summary:
A Beauty and the Beast AU.

A large, shaggy head appeared in the gateway, followed by - by a huge, skulking mass of fur, fangs bared and glinting deadly in the pale sunlight, claws fanning out like daggers from underneath its fur. Cook let out a yelp, and tripped in his haste to back away. He went sprawling into the snow.

"Um," the - the Beast said, voice a low rumble. "That's right! Run away, you, um, bad - bad human!"


Review:
Cook, while traveling to deliver some books for a friend, ends up trapped by magic in a castle with a not-so-vicious Beast. Fortunately, there's a large library to research their magical dilemma and the Beast is a pretty nice companion.

I'm a sucker for fairytale fusions, and this one is particularly fun, mostly for Archie's very in-character dialog as the Beast (see above), or "I'm -- I'm right out of your, um, your worst nightmares! I - I'm terrifying! Rawr!" These passages had me giggling.

It's a sweet, if too short, take on the classic fairytale with Cook and Archie as the main characters.

Plane Crash Stories by astolat (R)

  • Feb. 27th, 2011 at 10:24 PM
Title: Plane Crash Stories series: Fortunate Son (PG-13), Above Water (PG-13), and Castaway (R)
Fandom: American Idol
Pairing: David Cook/David Archuleta
Categories: drama, humor
Length: Medium (16,532 words)
Warnings: RPF, OC character death, descriptions of hypothermia

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] astolat / [personal profile] astolat
Author Website: Intimations or [archiveofourown.org profile]astolat

Summary: The first story in the series is summarized pretty nicely by the following quote: "Okay, so, most people would feel pretty screwed right now," David said after a minute, and Archie dropped his head, "but, we won American Idol, and we just survived a plane crash and an avalanche, so I'm thinking our luck's got to be good enough to get out of this." Following the plane crash, Cook and Archie have to hike out of the snow-covered mountains to civilization, relying on each other to make it through. In the sequel, they finally go on the trip to the Grand Canyon they promised themselves during their previous ordeal and realize their romance. Above Water rounds out the trilogy, with a little fluffy humor piece about Cook and Archie having another disaster-ridden trip.

Review: This medium-length series runs the gamut of emotions. The first is a quite thrilling as Cook and Archie fight for survival, while still filled with lots of in-character and humorous dialog. I was on the edge of my seat through most of the story, as they trudge through the snow, huddled together for warmth, and kept each other going with singing and bad jokes. Despite the far-fetched concept, it was well plotted, realistic, and a lot of fun.

The later stories are nice codas with more humor, some romance, and a little bit of crack.

Summary:
David Archuleta discovers a few new interests at college.

Review:
This is college AU, that is at times warm, fluffy and humorous and at others very serious and angsty. A sweet, socially awkward young man goes to college and becomes friends with a group of older students, especially a musician also named David. He ultimately has to come to terms with his feelings for another man, while dealing with college life, new friends, and family drama.

The best thing about this fic is the character voices, which are just spot on, particularly for both Davids. I find them both charming and funny.
