beatrice_otter: (Hugo Awards)
Finally, after long delays while pinch hitters were found, [community profile] ficinabox is live! I wrote a fic, and I'm curious to see if anyone can identify it.

I received not one but three podfics, which I am really excited about, and also a fic about Timov from Babylon 5 with really excellent worldbuilding!

Here are my gifts:

beatrice_otter: Me in red--face not shown (Default)
And A Hardboiled Egg (3755 words) by icarus_chained
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Discworld - Terry Pratchett
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Havelock Vetinari, Samuel Vimes, Carrot Ironfoundersson, Roberta Meserole, Rufus Drumknott, Moist von Lipwig, William de Worde
Additional Tags: Havelock is a scary man, Character Study
Summary:  A character study of Havelock Vetinari from a young child up as far as Unseen Academicals. Mentions of most of the major Ankh-Morpork players, especially Vimes. Takes off from Havelock's musings on the nature of evil in Unseen Academicals.

Vetinari is one of the most difficult characters to get right that I can imagine, and this character study nails him.  Perfect.
beatrice_otter: Elizabeth Bennet reads (Reading)
[livejournal.com profile] rarewomen is open, and there are a lot of great fics from a lot of great authors!  Here are some of my faves:

BSG
Free To Choose.  Her memories define who she is, her choices define who she will be.  (Sharon Agathon)

Buffy
As a Queen, Sufficient.  Kendra, debriefing after her first trip to Sunnydale.

Discworld
A Ladies' Day Out.  The impact of unregulated collection on the draconic biodiversity of the greater Ankh-Morpork region by Vimes (née Ramkin), S. Presented to the Ankh-Morpork Dragon Fanciers Society, Grune, Year of the Reversed Ptarmigan.  Hypothesis: poachers can be firmly deterred by a gumboot to the ear and some stern words, by Jove.  (Sybil Ramkin, the Emmas, Sacharissa Cripslock)

Doctor Who
Human Behavior.  The TARDIS learned a lot from her time in a human body; that doesn't mean she knows how to put a human together again.  (Idris, Tardis)
Cold Hands, Warm Heart.  Jenny finds a Silurian warrior behind the house. Then she puts the kettle on.  One of the Jenny&Vastra stories I have been craving.

Star Trek TNG
Shadow-walking.  Ro Laren and Deanna Troi undertake a secret mission on a matriarchal world.

Vorkosigan Saga
Five Strays Elizabeth Naismith took in (and One That Got Away).  Dear Cordelia, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that Miles is a charming and intelligent young man; I've been enjoying his company immensely. He's made plenty of friends, and taken to the social opportunities at school with a great deal of verve. (For more details, please see the attached disciplinary reports from Principal Hatter.)

X-Men First Class
A Piece of Her Mind.  Agent MacTaggert really shouldn't be in this cocktail bar. And she really shouldn't be talking to two wanted criminals. But they seem to think there's a way for her to get back the memories she'd lost the previous year, and she can't help but listen.  (Moira, Angel, Mystique)
