old remix recs
Sep. 26th, 2010 08:53 pmI've had these bookmarked for ages:
Impressions in the Dust (Nothing Left But History Remix) by mariana_oconnor; HP; Remus/Sirius
This is that sort of amazing fic that gives you chills and makes your jaw drop and you instantly want to read it again because you know there's more there to unpack. This about facade and artifice, about power, about identity, about *history* as an entity. I also love the framing narrative--excerpts from a history textbook.
Something from Nothing (the Gratitude Sings in Me Chorale) by Laura; Firefly; River-centric gen
River says thank you to Mal. *clutches fic to chest* The best part is when River tells Mal that his words make him stupid, not his doing; with most people it's the other way around. Not much plot to go 'round here, but plenty of character insight to sink your teeth into.
Until the Light Was Gone (the Frozen Earth Remix) by xaara; Firefly; River-centric gen
I'm gonna be straight up with y'all. I kinda have no idea what's happening in this fic. But I'm cool with that because it's absolutely gorgeous. Such rich, evocative language. Such beautiful prose.
Until You Hold Again (the Only Life Remix) by jazzfic; Firefly; Mal/Wash/Zoe
Wash is captured and when he gets back, things on Serenity change. I really don't want to give very much away about this fic because I think to reveal to much is to diminish the dramatic impact. Really nice work.
Ignorance Isn't Bliss (the Id Vs. the Superego Overdub by Bridgh; BtVS; Buffy/Giles; warnings for non-con
This is creepy. Really creepy and sinister, with one of those endings that surprise you. As much as Buffy is a creepazoid here, it's Willow that chills me to the bone.
Naked (The Wishing You Were Here Remix) by Deidr1; BtVS; Xander/Dawn
I have a soft spot for Xander/Dawn. The surrogate brother, age differential thing is just hinky enough to make it seem subversive. I love Dawn's voice here and all the people who are in bed with them.
