Theme: siblings, old fandoms, book fandoms, novel length, AU, family,

Summary: Without Lady Catherine's interference, a family catastrophe throws Darcy and Elizabeth down wildly different paths.

Reccer's Notes: This series is very much Darcy/Elizabeth, but they spend a lot of it going down separate paths. And on those separate paths, their closest relationships are with their siblings--Darcy and Georgiana, Jane and Elizabeth. I love the care that is taken with all of the different relationships in this story.

Summary: Bucky was the eldest of four.

Reccer's Notes: Bucky has four younger siblings, and in 2015 they are elderly, crotchety, and determined to go see Steve Rogers. Getting there is an ordeal, and what they find there is a surprise. I love the way the characters are so well-drawn and realistic, and I love the humor.

Title: Point of Contention
Fandom: Miami Vice (TV)
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: G
Words: 358
Characters: Sonny Crockett, Martin Castillo
Summary: Sonny has returned from a fishing trip to discover that in his absence, his partner had been kidnapped, traumatized, and nearly killed by an ex-con turned vigilante that Rico had put behind bars. He is angry and guilty, but Castillo isn't phased.
Notes: Based on the episode, "The Cell Within." This is also part one of a longer story, because the MV muses refuse to color within the lines. The fic will be posted in its entirety on AO3 when finished.

Theme: siblings, AU, fork in the road, family, gen, old fandoms, book fandoms

Summary: Gregor need not have worried.

Reccer's Notes: Gregor Vorbarra is Emperor of Barrayar, and he has monsters in his family tree. His father Serg was a rapist and a murderer who died when he was a small child (and Serg's own father Emperor Ezar arranged his death), and his great uncle was Mad Emperor Yuri who was paranoid and homicidal and awful. Gregor understandably has issues about his family.

But what if Ezar had seen the sort of person Serg was, and how many monsters are in the family tree, and not only made sure Serg died before inheriting the throne, but also ... made sure that Serg would not father the next emperor of Barrayar?

This is a short but compelling AU. The series is marked incomplete, but there are no dangling plot threads and it hasn't been updated in over a decade.

Summary: “We were very close.” Sola says, and Leia smiles her politician's smile in response.

This woman is convinced she and her sister were the best of friends. And she’s telling the secret daughter, from a secret marriage, all about it.

Leia doesn't need the force to know it wasn't true.

Reccer's Notes: This is about Padmé and her sister Sola, but it's also about Luke and Leia, and about family, and about memory.

Rating: Explicit
Length: 23,191, 02:40:45
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply.

spoilery content note

Rodney and John weren't raised as brothers, but they discover they are. After having fucked. This causes some angst for a while, and Rodney's rationalisations are amusing.

Creator Links: speranza on AO3, speranza's own site

Themes: Siblings, Action/adventure, Family, AU, AU - fork in the road

Summary: "Jean isn't your sister," Rodney said, speaking to John as if he was a small child. "Jean is my sister."
John's whole face changed. "What?"

Reccer's Notes: Written as a slightly cracky Harlequin fic, this is a favourite story of mine, full of action, adventure, and family complications. John and Rodney meet at Patrick Sheppard's funeral and afterwards happen on an alien artifact at his apartment. A wild ride ensues as they try to get it to Area 51. Rodney's a physicist and John's air force, but at the start, neither of them know about the Stargate program. There's lots of excellent drama, romance, and snark as they gradually discover all the secrets their parents hid from them.

Hi,

this is your weekly Star Wars chat post. Do you have news? Or... olds? *sad trumpet*

~ ~ ~

Bad jokes aside, what's your relationship to SW-related news? As in, how do you find out that Disney is Doing Something Star Wars - a new book is coming out, a new movie/show is announced...? Do you actively follow some sources? Do you learn about it on social media, or from a more well-informed friend? Or maybe you don't hear about it at all?
