remix recs
Mar. 27th, 2006 01:59 pmHere's a few recs, from the fics that I managed to read yesterday from
remixredux. There will probably be a few more recs posts coming later, once I've read more of the fics.
Harry Potter
Apparition #12 (The Scientific Method Remix)
Hermione in OotP, observing Remus and Sirius and beginning to put the facts together. Lovely.
The Evidence of Things Not Seen (The Substance of Things Hoped For Remix)
Lily and faith and wanting to christen Harry. Considering I'm a complete atheist and religious skeptic, I wasn't sure I'd like this, but I really have to commend the author for making me suspend my skepticism for at least the length of the fic, purely on the power of Lily's belief.
Comfort (The Extremely Basic Remix)
James grieving, and Lily opening up to him. Lovely James/Lily.
Dancing Shoes (A Music Box You Couldn't Fix Remix)
Neville. Neville. A beautiful story that anyone who even remotely likes Neville should read.
Star Wars
Blind Faith (The 'In Good Faith' Remix)
Anakin growing into being Obi-Wan's apprentice, and trying and failing to think of what would turn him to the Dark Side. Other younglings are thinking of the same thing, and one of them voices the idea of someone storming the Temple, and Anakin.
Anakin wondered how anyone could forgive someone who had killed everyone in the Jedi Temple. Such an act would be unforgivable in his opinion, but he knew better than to ever voice it.
Those lines KILLED ME DEAD. The irony made me wibble and want to both hug Anakin-now and punch Anakin-RotS.
Lord of the Rings
A Brandybuck's Bravery (Merry's Simple Courage Remix)
This is utterly adorable. The story of Merry and Eowyn on the Pelennor fields as a bedtime story told to a young Took years after RotK. Awww.
Nothing Remains Unseen - The Road to Rivendell Remix
Pippin and Merry on the road to Rivendell. Lovely vignette.
Narnia
Always Spring and Never Summer (Once a King, Always, Immortal Remix)
My remix. MINE. That one that was written for me, and it's SO GORGEOUS. A point-of-view switcher, with the reasons behind Lucy wandering around at night, and Peter's longing when looking at the swords in the study, and there's Professor Kirke about to tell Edmund about how he brought Jadis to Narnia in the first place, and Susan post-The Last Battle, and ohhhh. LOVE. Beautiful language, and just eeeeee. LOVE.
These are just the fics I've read so far. Are there any others that people feel I need to read immediately?
