First Fanfic Friday (as a community)

[shy_magpie]

Welcome one and all to an alliteratve reimagining of our little group as community! I will be sharing my recs for this week in the comments, and hope you will share what you have been reading as well. Please glance over the rules before commenting, but I don't think I actually changed so much as codified what we already do.

I'm excited \o/

the most refined ladybugs do it (159 words) by AlexSeanchai
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Marinette Dupain-Cheng & Tikki, Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir & Plagg
Characters: Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug, Tikki (Miraculous Ladybug), Plagg (Miraculous Ladybug), Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir
Additional Tags: 3 Sentence Fiction, The Talk, Magical Pregnancy, but not yet, Mating Cycles/In Heat, but not that yet either, I can't stop you from googling the thing but I can't recommend it either
Summary:

Miraculous wielders become more effective at using their magic the more traits they grow to have in common with the animals their respective Miraculouses represent. People who start wielding a Miraculous in adolescence adapt more readily to these changes, and the more frequently they transform with it, the more rapidly the changes come.

The Talk, Miraculous edition, is always, uh, fun...

Adorable & hilarious little shortfic. (Probably not really worth it if you don't know the fandom.)

The Night Time Perambulations in Room Thirteen (6081 words) by Cân Cennau
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Agatha Christie's Poirot (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Arthur Hastings/Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings/Charles Leveson
Characters: Arthur Hastings, Hercule Poirot, Charles Leveson
Additional Tags: Episode: s5e2 The Underdog, Pining, Murder, Break Up, Golf, Temptations, Partner Betrayal, Implied Sexual Content, Drunkenness, Period-Typical Homophobia, Happy Ending, POV First Person, Arthur Hastings POV
Summary:

When Hastings accepted Charles' invite to a golf tourney, he had expected a little holiday, with maybe some clandestine meetings with his lover on the side. However, when a murder takes place, Hastings is torn between two different men, and has to decide where to put his faith...

Such a lovely fic! I've got virtually no canon knowledge, which didn't impact my enjoyment in the slightest. From what I remember of the books (and it's been years), the voice is very accurate, and it's certainly very distinctive and enjoyable to read!

Not Right About Everything (326 words) by Lefaym
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Malory Towers - Enid Blyton
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Gwendoline Mary Lacey
Additional Tags: Post-Canon
Summary:

The girls at Malory Towers weren't right about everything.

This one is definitely one for people who've read canon. Canon (and the German officially licensed totally-not-fanfic sequels) did Gwen so dirty, and this is a lovely little fic that gives her a happy ending she damn well deserves.

All systems go. (9276 words) by Feather
Chapters: 4/4
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: background Tony/Pepper - Relationship
Characters: Original Female Characters, Pepper Potts, Maria Hill, Bobbi Morse, Jimmy Wu
Additional Tags: hypercompetent women, Pepper runs a super-efficient company, Pepper Potts and her team of badass ladies, ladies in the Tower, Tony's terrible people skills
Series: Part 8 of Settle in and find your home
Summary:

Some scenes from the night of Bucky's return home.

So while this is technically part of a massive fic universe, I think it can be read without having read any of the other fics. Most of the chapters are OC POV, but they're written such that you totally can read them and enjoy them without having had the introduction to those OCs. The premise you need to know is: after TWS, Bucky turns up on Steve's doorstep one day. This is what people at Stark Industries are doing to make sure they are as prepared for potential fallout as possible.
