gwyn A Step Not Taken, Persuasion
A what-if AU that looks at what would happen if Anne had fallen at Lyme Regis.
My Storm and Strife, Justified (Raylan/Tim)
I hadn't actually intended to read this because I thought it might not be my kind of Yuleporn story, but I'm glad I did--though my gosh, the thermostat really went out of whack in my house for a while there.
Body and Soul, Babette's Feast
I haven't seen this movie in ages but I'm so, so glad I clicked the link because this is a beautiful slice of life after the big feast. Even if it's been years since you've seen the film, do yourself a favor and read it.
Let's Do the Same as They, Singin' in the Rain/Captain America (two poly ships)
Steve sees some things in a USO appearance by Don, Kathy, and Cosmo that open his eyes to his own possibilities in love. Errors that normally make me grind my teeth in fiction I just handwaved here because I loved this so much.
The Rock Star Reunion Irrelevancy, The Middleman
A cute little Middleman casefic with great puns.
The Rubber Shapeshifter Assimilation, The Middleman (Middleman/Wendy Watson)
I usually don't ship MM/WW, but this worked for me, and it's a great take on The Thing full of case adventure and movie/Kurt Russell jokes.
All this darkness past, Edge of Tomorrow (William Cage/Rita Vrataski)
Rita's view of Cage and the events after they win, and what it means.
Counting Stars, Edge of Tomorrow (William Cage/Rita Vrataski)
A kind of time-loopy examination of Rita's point of view as she sees Cage, each time anew, in the story. Both Edge of Tomorrow stories have razor-sharp observations and characterizations.
The Flight, The Fall (2006)
Alexandria spends a day with Roy, trying to tell a new story. Oh my heart.
Slow and Steady, The Good Place (Michael & Eleanor)
The truth about Michael's demon form. Adorable.
Free Netflix Subscription, The Good Place (Eleanor/Tahani)
A funny, believable version of attempt 218, where Eleanor and Tahani were soulmates, and Eleanor figures everything out.
Missing Stars, The Expanse (Drummer/Naomi)
A poignant and sharp look at Drummer between seasons 3 and 4.
UGH still so MUCH to read!!! I hope I can make some more recs soon, I feel like I've barely made a dent.
