Devil's Cub

The Cub's First Cub by athousandwinds
Utterly adorable story of Vidal waiting for his and Mary's first child to be born. Gets the voices just right. I am so happy someone wrote this, because this was my original assignment and I didn't get a chance to write it, and now I don't have to.

Ladyhawke

Faith by Eris
Achy and full of gorgeous imagery, and Isabeau's longing and strength. And when hawk forgets everything of silks and perfumes and of mirrors, she still knows the way to his wrist. Isabeau, too, is a compass.

Persuasion

Paper Sails by mjules
Beautifully poignant look at Captain Wentworth before he comes back into Anne's life. Lovely imagery.

The Princess Bride

There Will Be No Survivors (Except for the Survivors Behind the Curtain, But Pay No Attention to Them) by knightshade
Adorable explanation of the "no survivors" part of the Dread Pirate Roberts' reputation. Hilarious and gets the voices spot-on.

Swordspoint

At the Pommel by Kate
I really enjoyed this story of Alec and Richard's first meeting, and also their conversation post-Privilege of the Sword.

Compass and Knife by Brigdh
I liked this a lot - the sumptuousness of the descriptions, tastes and sounds and smells, and Alec's attempts to describe the ocean, and then the sharpness of the ending, Alec still Alec - and Richard still Richard - even on new shores.

Swordspoint
All Unheard Of by petronelle
Intriguing backstory of how Richard and Alec met. In character and hot like a hot thing.

als Selbstzweck by Todesengel
Sharp and bitter and a perfect Alec characterization here - makes me almost feel bad for him, how broken he is.
