Amadeus

Con Fuoco by Meltha
Note-perfect. Hilarious and hopeful, with spot on voices - I could hear both Mozart and Salieri in my head.

Bull Durham

Being Roger Maris by [livejournal.com profile] fairy_tale_echo
Wonderful look at Annie Savoy both before and after the movie. Of course it's all about baseball. Lovely.

Calvin and Hobbes

the sandwich story by [livejournal.com profile] obfuscate3
Oh, Calvin. Oh, *Hobbes*. Heartbreaking and true story about growing up. *sigh*

Discworld

The Uninvited Guest by akamarykate
I really enjoyed this. DEATH asks Granny Weatherwax to take his christening gift for Susan to her. Her parents aren't quite sure how to respond. Hilarious and adorable.

Jeeves and Wooster

The Aunt and the Ankh by Curtana
Lack of fondness for newts on the part of the putative father-in-law had been the undoing of many an engagement of Gussie's. It had often made me wish I'd had the foresight to cultivate some obscure and socially unacceptable hobby in my youth, something I could pull out at necessary intervals to extricate myself from unwanted matches. Competitive blancmange eating, say, or, collecting potatoes that resemble famous politicians. Hee! Hilarity at a wedding, with a fine Bertie voice. (Hints at Jeeves/Wooster, but you can ignore that.)

Casablanca
Brazzaville by [livejournal.com profile] the_star_fish
Oh, the absolute perfect epilogue to Casablanca, with such a spot on Louis voice that I could practically hear Claude Rains telling me this story. Wonderful

Nom de Coeur by Dorinda
Ooh, this was good. Understated, long, slow, unfolding in its own time, keeping me glued to the screen to find out where it was going. Lovely Louis characterization and a nice Rick voice.

Jeeves and Wooster
Wooster’s School for Wayward Girls by [livejournal.com profile] yahtzee63
Yeah, this is why I was asking about the books. Absolutely hilarious.

Jeeves and the Blessed Indiscretion by [livejournal.com profile] astolat
And another utterly charming and funny story, that also manages to be endearing and sweet.

Nero Wolfe
Closeted by [livejournal.com profile] m_butterfly
This story is incredibly spot-on in terms of both characterization and narrative voice. First person is *so* hard to do well (I tend not to read fic in first person, myself), even if (perhaps especially if) the source material itself is in first person. But this... this could have been straight (heh) out of one of the books - that's how well the author nails Archie here. And it was hot, too. *g* Wonderful work. (Archie Goodwin/Saul Panzer)
