One fic was written for me:

Both Alike (4338 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Relationships: Mr. Bennet & Fitzwilliam Darcy
Characters: Mr. Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet
Additional Tags: Autistic Character, Autistic Exchange 2015
Summary: Mr Bennet had long ago acknowledged – at the very least to himself – that he was what his stablemaster would call an ‘odd duck’.

Interesting look at what it would be like to be autistic long before modern psychology, looking for someone like yourself and not quite understanding why you were so out of step with the world.

Here are my favorites of the other fics written for the exchange:

Artificial (1240 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Iron Man (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
Characters: Tony Stark, Howard Stark
Additional Tags: Autistic Character
Summary:  People say a lot of things about Tony Stark; not all of them are true. The people who say he's weirdly intimate with his bots may have a point, though.

Really interesting look at Tony, and though I’m less convinced about Howard, I like the way the author brought in Tony’s little behavioral quirks.


Whatever Spins Your Engines (1152 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Firefly
Relationships: Kaylee Frye & River Tam
Characters: Kaylee Frye, River Tam
Additional Tags: Autistic Character, Friendship, chosen family, Coping, Female Friendships
Summary:  Kaylee understands when River has her own ways of liking things, odd routines that keep her going in the middle of the mild chaos that is the 'verse on a good day. She understands because she has her own, and that's always been enough. Well... Almost enough.

Victory Conditions (The Rashomon Remix) (8655 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Kostolitz, Miles Vorkosigan, Ivan Vorpatril
Additional Tags: Remix, Hijinks & Shenanigans
Summary:

Ivan always looked like an actor playing a model cadet in a training vid. This impressed the hell out of Kostolitz when Miles first introduced them, but he'd since amended the comparison to 'an actor in a training vid, who's perpetually on a break between shoots, and is eager to get back to a party – to which common folk are not invited -- going on in his trailer.'
Miles looked like, well, Miles. That had taken some getting used to with the way Kostolitz had been raised. But Miles strategized like he was two meters tall and plasma-arc proof, and that fit Kostolitz's idea of a Barrayaran officer just fine.

And four other perspectives

beatrice_otter: Maria Hill (Maria Hill)
If you haven't been reading the fic from the MCU Ladies Ficathon (aka Marvel Halfamoon) you should go do it immediately, because I don't know if I've ever participated in a ficathon where the quality of work was that high.  Almost all the stories are well-written and entertaining, and most of them are awesome in one way or another.  I've been working my way through them and squeeing the whole time because there are so many fics that I have to double-check that it wasn't written for me because it is absolutely exactly what I wanted and requested in one way or another.  Even the ones that covered territory that lots of ficcers have covered gave new and interesting (and usually thoughtful) twists.

Here are some of my favorites:

Agent Carter to Agents of SHIELD, Iron Man to Avengers, and everything in between )

 

Iron Man

beatrice_otter: Are you challenging my ingenuity? (Ingenuity)
Okay, I finally saw Iron Man. Nice flick, worth the price of admission, although I can already tell I'm not going to be fannish about it (what can I say, I'm a DC girl). Anyone who stayed through the credits knows exactly what movie they're making next. Tony was well played, and so was Pepper; Rhodey was under-utilized. While I can only imagine that the Iron Man fandom is going to go wild with Tony/Pepper, I'd like to see a well-written Pepper/Coulson (the SHIELD agent). They had some chemistry, and as the two people trying to ride herd on/manage Stark (because Lord knows he needs a manager), I can see lots of commiseration in their future.
