A/N: This is dedicated to musesinspire, who did me a lot of favors when I needed them. She asked for some Derek/Dawn and suggested Carnivals of Rust by Poets of the Fall as a prompt.

Many thanks to strangevisitor7 for the beta. It's much better because of you!

As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

RECS: Grab Bag

I'm going to make five more recs in random fandoms that I am not active in. These fics are all ones that I read by accident, but really and truly enjoyed. I hope you do, too.

And these will be 5-10 of the 30 I hope to rec this month. :)

*******************

Ender's Game

arislanchan wrote Affection. G.

This is a beautiful little piece that shows an introspective Ender, who considers the people in his life that he loved, and the ones that loved him.

Lord of the Rings

stephantom wrote Elf of the Cave, Elf of the Spray. PG.

Elrond Half-Elven made one choice when it came to being an immortal. His twin brother made another. This is a beautiful, and heartbreaking, look at the consequences.

Narnia

sparkfrost wrote The Fall of the Gentle. PG-13.

Susan the Gentle, her story of returning to England, growing up, losing her family, and her ultimate fate. Aslan did not limit her by her name, but gave her a strength that took her through all life's travails.

The Rundown

strifechaos wrote Transitionaly. PG-13.

There isn't enough Rundown fic in the world. This is a funny little fic that picks up exactly where the movie ends and explores just a bit of what possessed Beck to help Travis out in the end.

Casino Royale

nextian wrote Operating Instructions. R.

James Bond at his worst. And also at his finest. This is a great case-fic and digs far enough into Bond's head that a wary reader wants to back up just a little bit.
