selenakThe nice thing about flawed fandoms is that there's almost inevitably more fanfic inspired by them than by terrific, close to perfect sources.
As I looked: have some Downton Abbey fic:
With grace in all she offers: Mary contemplates Lavinia.
In my imagination : Edward Courtenay (for verily, fanfic tells me how a character only in one episode is named, for which I'm grateful, and it seems Julian Fellowes had a little Plantagenet-Tudor in joke with the name of the officer from episode 2.02) and Thomas.
A far, far better thing: excellent O'Brien character exploration! Also puts the ensemble to good use, and her guilty obsessive love for Cora, and has awesome snarky scenes with Thomas, but really: O'Brien character exploration makes me happy.
Like clockwork: As does this backstory for Thomas, which neatly avoids woobiefication while still providing quite plausible context for The Portrait Of A Ruthless Schemer As An Adolescent In Training.
While I was at the AO3, I couldn't resist sneaking over to the Remix archive. Of course, the stories are yet unrevealed, but as I found you can see which fandoms people have already posted in . Looks like there'll be plenty to read for me in two weeks.
ETA: Disability and Breaking Bad is a fantastic meta post on how the show (BB, that is) uses the character of Walter Junior.
And lastly, I've been wavering which Avengers icon from the soon to hit the cinemas movie I'll acquire, but you know, I think I'll be looking for one featuring the Black Widow. Behold Natasha:
