Fic recs - Various fandoms
Aug. 6th, 2018 08:00 amI've already crossposted links elsewhere, but I figured I might as well slap these recs down here too. Why not. :D
Vatican Miracle Examiner
☆ Moonlighting by Madamefolie. Roberto/Hiraga + also Sister Anna Dolores, McGee, Julia, & Ruggieri Rutherford. 18+, 25.5k (!!).
Author's summary: A familiar face returns with a request-- and so our heroes find themselves enlisted to assist Zion's Law with an undercover mission. The terms of the assignment, however, are strictly ballroom.
My notes: The author tagged this with with: undercover missions, crossdressing, undercover as married, and action/adventure. And a few other things. Those together with the summary give a pretty good idea of what you're in for with this one. It's rated 18+, sure but, unlike most of Folie's other 18+ fic, I wouldn't recommend it for the porn; not because that bit isn't as good as it is in her other works, but because the undercover mission plot is so much fun! This fic has fucking everything - espionage, information recovery, gun fights, a really cool car chase, you name it. (And lots of McGee being his usual self, which delighted me. Everything is turned up to eleven, man.
Hetalia
☆ Cost by Greendragon_Templar. Australia and New Zealand, directly post-WWI. G, 2k.
Author's summary: Bloodshed’s not a foreign concept, but the stain of a world war will linger. They have suffered alone before; now, they suffer as a part of a much greater whole, mourning the state of the world.
My notes: It's been a while since I last read a fic like this one, so it was a cool drink of water. Very nations-as-nations, this one.

raremaleslashex, which at this point of writing is still in the Anon stages. I'll add the author names in once they're revealed. :)
A Redtail's Dream
☆ Something He Can't Break by [Anonymous author]. Puppy-fox/Hannu (Yes, really). T, 3.4k.
Author's summary: Puppy-Fox finds himself in a human body, and with a particular caveat regarding Hannu.
My notes: This was delightful. Lots of little humour, and tons of points for taking a surprising pairing and putting it together in a way that I can look at it and say "Yeah, okay, I can see that". :D Plus the characterization in this one is great.
Stand Still Stay Silent
☆ where no other love goes by [Anonymous author]. Reynir/Onni, & Taru, Sigrun, Mikkel, Emil, & others. T, 10.7k (!).
Author's summary: The Kade in Red fled through the deep forests, and the mage followed.
My notes: Premise of this is that it takes place several years after current canon. There was a second mission, and it went... badly. This is about what happens after that. Contains temporary death, resurrection themes, and divine meddling. Reynir gets to do something cool. Happy ending. Yay! ANYWAY, what really interested me was the worldbuilding, and the background politics, and the mentions of the other mission. Well worth a read.
