Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 2

Day 2

Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.

Three feels like too few, but if I really cracked open my favorites we'd be here all day, so instead here are five recent favorites (each from different fandoms):

A Heaven in Hell's Despair by belmanoir (Raffles, Bunny/Raffles)
Really lovely pining vs. obliviousness story with great characterization and use of the canon. 

Sentiment to Paper by mistyzeo (Sherlock Holmes, Holmes/Watson)
It's worth going through all of this writer's fics if you haven't, but this one really spoke to me.  Wonderful premise, wonderful execution, wonderful prose- just wonderful all around. 

Etta Candy's Last Stand by sanguinity (Wonder Woman, Etta/Diana)
Really sweet and so, so funny. 

Fairies Aren't Gentlemen by AMarguerite (Jeeves & Wooster and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Jeeves/Wooster)
This captures Bertie's voice beautifully and blends the two universes in a way that I think sets the golden standard for JSAMN crossovers.  It's so good. 

Degrees of Latitude by x_los (David Copperfield, David/Uriah)
It's also worth going through all this writer's fics if you've an interest in this rare pair.  And this particular fic hit pretty much all of my buttons and then found new ones I didn't even know I had.  I love it.

"With this often and loudly-expressed opinion in mind, I was very surprised indeed to find a stack of unsent, unsealed letters in a drawer in his desk." I'm already sold dfghjk

"And what are you going to do about it?" Holmes asked, looking up at me from under half-lowered eyelids, his chest heaving.

"Why, Holmes," said I, leaning over him and brushing a kiss across his open mouth, "haven't you deduced that yet?"

Aaaaaand I am absolutely completely dead sdfghjk

Gosh I haven't even read the original Holmes novels but that was just a rly great rec 10/10 would re-recommend haha

Thank you for the Raffles rec especially. My new year's resolution is to write my first Raffles fic by the Ides.

I'm a Bertie Wooster fan, too, so that might be a good read, too, even though I haven't read the other part of the crossover.

[potentiality_26]

Excellent resolution! The world needs more Raffles fic (or I do, at least, since I've now read almost all I could get my hands on).

I very much recommend Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, should you desire an 800 page historical fantasy epic, but the fic should be all right if you aren't familiar. It's a mostly Jeeves & Wooster story with JSAMN guest appearances and world building. I think you could probably read it as if it's a general Magic AU.

I like this Holmes crossover art by Hellman Draws! so it might be a crossover. :http://hellmandraws.tumblr.com/post/61758372156/d-did-someone-say-holmesraffles-crossover

I'll probably pass on 800 pages of anything. But I've actually written Magical!Jeeves so that's cool. Will give it a go.

Oooh, that's lovely! Raffles and Holmes definitely make great crossover material.

Heh, fair enough :)
