ficrecs of many persuasions

Been meaning to post most of these for quite a while. Thought I had some more I meant to post, but the bookmarks are eluding me. I'm sure they'll turn up eventually, though!

Always Darkest by _astralis (Stargate SG-1, PG-13, Sam/Jack). Post-Ethon. After everything that happened on Tegalus, it takes a while to put the broken pieces back together. Sam and Jack being together in their own way while the universe insists on making life really damn hard. I love this sort of fic, and this one is very well done.

The Ballad of Mirrim and Menolly's Ride by Edonohana (Dragonriders of Pern, Teen, Menolly, Mirrim, Path). Menolly, Mirrim, and Path travel through times that were, will be, and might have been in a desperate quest to warn Pern of a deadly new threat. Kind of like a five things that never happened, except instead, it's all tied together into one fabulous story. Hits all of my what-if, road-not-travelled fic kinks. Plus, Menolly and Mirrim being awesome and clever and many good things! Highly recommended.

The Long Wait of Becoming by Annakovsky (Chronicles of Narnia, Teen, Lucy Pevensie with a tiny bit of Lucy/Caspian). A look at Lucy and what it's like to be from two worlds at the same time. Love the reflective voice Lucy has here.

The Husband of Sha-uri by jedibuttercup (Mummy/Stargate SG-1, PG-13, Daniel Jackson, Evie O'Connell).
Evie could not be certain, but it sounded a great deal like the Ancient Egyptian equivalent of "Oh, no, not again," which struck her as a rather bizarre thing for a newly awakened mummy to say. Falls under the category of 'already recced everywhere', but I like it so here it is anyway. Pretty much what it says on the tin.

Lieutenant Bennet's Visit by Beatrice_Otter (Temeraire/Pride and Prejudice, Teen, Elizabeth Bennet, Jane Bennet, Darcy). Elizabeth’s reality is far different from her sisters’. Elizabeth raised in the Corps instead of with her family. Clever.

Less Traveled By by quaggy_mire. (The West Wing, G, Josh/Donna and Toby) Post-season 6 AU. Donna was the last person Toby expected to see... Nostalgia factor for an old fandom that I don't read much anymore: Josh/Donna fic that just made me smile a lot. Hard to go wrong with that if you ask me.

My Master's Secret Mission by David Hines (I Dream of Jeannie, G, Jeannie, Major Anthony Nelson, Major Roger Healey, Colonel Bellows). My Master has given me a DIARY! He says that now I can write down things that happened, so I will be able to remember them! Speaking of nostalgia .... Hilarious, with a perfect Jeannie voice.

Wait Wait Don't Eat Me by Nestra (National Public Radio, G) We're going to be cutting our show a little short today, because, as you may have heard, there's an apocalypse happening! But we didn't let the election of Barack Obama stop us, and we're not going to let the zombie hordes stop us either." NPR + ZOMBIES. If that doesn't make you read this, I cannot help you.
