Almost-Thursday recs (not Yuletide)
By the way, Chocolate Box signups are open!
Over the last month or so, I've racked up a collection of things to rec and keep not posting them, so since I'm not sleepy yet and it's still almost Thursday, I'll collect a few of those here. Also, so it doesn't get buried since I've posted a bunch of stuff lately, don't miss my Yuletide reveals post and also end-of-year fics. I post nothing for ages and then drop a bunch of fic on people, it's how I roll ...
Recs - The Expanse
Six vids! The first two, I'm fairly sure, have seasons 1-2 footage only, and the top one is not really spoilery at all. The rest are spoilery as hell for seasons 3-4.
We Built This City by
himundergreen (general show vid)
Gorgeous vid about the Belters. This is actually a pretty good recruitment/non-spoiler vid, with lots of pretty space footage.
The Outsiders by
violace (Roci/team vid)
A very beautiful and rewatchable vid about the Roci crew and the people around them.
Clearest Blue by
runawaynun (Naomi/Drummer, Bobbie/Chrisjen)
Beautifully edited ship vid.
Closer by slouching2geneva on Youtube (Naomi/Drummer)
Very pretty ship vid.
Live as a Belter by zurich23M on Youtube (Drummer & Ashford)
Very nicely edited vid, though more dialogue-heavy than I tend to like my vids (pretty much all dialogue) but the editing is super nice.
Low Light by FireflySunrise on Youtube (Drummer & Ashford)
A bit shippier than I prefer to see them, but very pretty.
Recs - Torchwood
10 recent fics! All are season 1-2 era team, i.e. the Owen & Tosh-enabled team.
Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time by
Paycheckgurl (gen team)
Wonderfully funny, sweet, and in character, and very Torchwood, from the sentient tinsel and someone possibly being run over by a reindeer (or something generally reindeer-like) to the genuinely thoughtful gift exchange.
Stuck in the Hub by
Itneveroccurredtomeatall (gen team)
The team is snowed in and forced to take some down time. Super cute.
in the middle by
mechup (Owen/Tosh/Ianto)
This is a rarepair I really love and never, ever can find! It's not long, but I really enjoyed it.
You and me in the war of the end times by
Beleriandings (gen team + Martha)
Martha meets the team in the apocalyptic reality that was created and erased in Doctor Who's Year That Never Was. Really sweet Gwen-Martha bonding and lovely team dynamics.
Imprisoned by
Squtternutbosh (gen team + canon pairings)
Technically part of a season 3 rewrite with Owen & Tosh, but stands alone. Case fic in which Jack is taken over by an entity and tries to kill the team. Enjoyable fic with Owen getting a central hero role.
Lightbulb by
MrSandman (gen team)
Playful, short, and fun. The team contemplates a weird alien artifact.
Two Theories for the Invisible Lift by
silver_penny (gen team)
Another cute, light fic with team banter, in which the team tries to figure out how the invisible lift works.
I'll think of you each time I watch from distant skies by
violetmessages (team with vaguely OT5-ish undertones)
The team finds out that Jack's species requires more physical touch than humans do, and starts going out of their way to pet him a lot. Includes an Exit Wounds fixit.
An Unexpected Hemiparasite by
starfishstar (gen with canon pairings)
Team fluff with mistletoe that may or may not be a sinister alien creature.
The Door Wide Open by
sherlockpond (gen with canon pairings)
Five emotional bonding moments between various character combos. Sweet teaminess.
