More recs

[sholio]

A few more random recs from all over the place, so that I can close some tabs! Not all Yuletide this time, just fics that I happen to have open in tabs at the moment.

Though I Sang in My Chains Like the Sea (Rivers of London) - This is the long Rivers of London fic that I mentioned in the last recs post, and it is just as good as I had hoped, and more! It's a wonderfully plotty casefic, full of interesting little details of the characters' lives and funny-snarky-sweet interaction between Nightingale, Peter and Lesley. OH EVERYONE! ♥ If you like the books, this is a must-read.

Of Christmas Past by BlueKiwi (Dresden Files) - Like the last Dresden Files fic I recced awhile back, this is another "Thomas and his siblings" fic (I seem to really like those!). This time it's set after "Turn Coat" and deals with Thomas at his darkest and lowest, separated from the people he loves most (Justine and Harry), believing himself a monster, and now, haunted by the (literal) ghosts of his dead brothers and sisters. Despite the premise, it's not horribly depressing; it's more a reminder that Thomas is a much better person than he often thinks he is.

Where the Lovelight Gleams by rabidchild67 (White Collar) - A sweet and hilarious (and long!) holiday story about Neal and Diana, after being loaned out to the Chicago office, trying to get home to New York for Christmas. So much fun!

Proof by frith_in_thorns (White Collar) - Sweet h/c schmoop with a drunken Neal. Frith-in-thorns does such a wonderful job with these people and their affection for each other.

And I just recently beta'd a White Collar/Carnivale crossover by aragarna: Let's Shake Some Snow. It's a sweet White Collar Christmas fic with a little background Carnivale woven into it.

Someone else who likes Rivers of London! Yay!

I have to ask, is it spoilery for the third book? Because I haven't had a chance to read it yet. If the fic is spoilery, I'll wait, but if it isn't, I'll read it soon.

Yes, it is spoilery for the third book, but mainly in terms of who's in it. (Trying to be as vague as possible, it's a pretty big casting spoiler, but one which is implied by the second book, and there aren't any other plot spoilers.)

And YAY, Rivers of London! I love it so much! :D

Yeah, a friend of ours who's a journalist got ARCs of the first two, and she lent them to us when she was done with them. We haven't had the cash to buy any of them yet, so no Whispers Underground on our bookshelf, as yet. I will definitely bookmark that fic, though.
