Admin Post: Fanfic Friday weekly post for 7/12/2019

[shy_magpie]

Hello and welcome to the weekly post for Friday, July 12th, 2019. I'm afraid most of my fanfic reading was in tumblr this week and I never got a hang of saving the links for sharing on here, but I do have a couple of stories I read previously that I didn't share because I had already posted a bunch that week. Hopefully some of you will make up for that by replying with multiple stories in the comments to this post, hint hint!

Devilish Ways (2473 words) by Ladybug_21
Chapters: 1/4
Fandom: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV), Gentleman Jack (TV)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Anne Lister & Crowley (Good Omens), Anne Lister (1791-1840)/Ann Walker (1803-1854), Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Characters: Crowley (Good Omens), Anne Lister (1791-1840), Aziraphale (Good Omens), Ann Walker (1803-1854), Hastur (Good Omens)
Additional Tags: Goth Gay Friends
Summary:

Crowley has always been very impressed by the sheer bloody nerve of Miss Anne Lister, beginning with that night she trounced him (and half of the 33rd) in a round of cards at some lodging house in Halifax.

I've just finished Good Omens and am working my way through Gentleman Jack. This is a cool crossover between the two, expanding a scene where Anne is playing cards in the pub and gets dragged out, with an additional character. Both this and the companion piece take the best of both shows and run with them.

Ghosts (5499 words) by Dancingsalome
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: The Mummy Series, The Mummy (1999), The Mummy Returns (2001)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Evy Carnahan O'Connell/Rick O'Connell, Imhotep/Evy Carnahan O'Connell, Ardeth Bay/Evy Carnahan O'Connell
Characters: Evy Carnahan O'Connell, Rick O'Connell, Imhotep (The Mummy), Ardeth Bay
Additional Tags: Grief/Mourning
Summary:

Evelyn returns a widow to Egypt after World War II. And the past reaches out to greet her.

I always forget how much I love the Mummy and this does a great job of looking at after the second movie. It also really makes me want an OT3 with Evy, Rick and Ardeth which I will promptly go searching for.

with cake in your pocket (3261 words) by victoria_p
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Dark Angel
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Max Guevara | X5-452/Alec McDowell | X5-494
Characters: Max Guevara | X5-452, Alec McDowell | X5-494, Cynthia "Original Cindy" McEachin
Additional Tags: 4 Things
Summary:

In which Alec woos Max with heists.

I am almost scared to go back and watch Dark Angel as I'm fairly sure it'll be much worse than I remember it, so instead I'm going to read a bunch of fics. This is one of the first I've read but probably won't be the last.

Ooh Dark Angel! I was really into that series for awhile! Thanks!

[suncani]

No worries, hope you enjoy! It was so good for its time, I'm just wondering how well it would stand up now-adays.

[shy_magpie]

Hard to say, off the top of my head having an able bodied actor playing a wheelchair user who iirc is hung up on walking again has some potential problems but I don't remember anything glaringly Problematic by today's pov. The pulse or whatever they called it saves it from some of the jaring "why are they using CRTs in the future?" stuff you sometimes get with Sci-fi.

VERY late reply but I love the Good Omens/Anne Lister crossover!

[suncani]

Yay! I'm glad, it's definitely a good one.
