Author's summary: Response to the prompt "Glitch/Ambrose/Glimbrose is a technomancer".
Characters/pairing: Glitch&Ambrose, appearances by Cain, DG, and Raw.
Warnings: Some non-graphic violence.

Recced because: Lu wrote this in response to my wagon prompt, and it is brilliant. I've long held it in my personal canon that Ambrose was a technomancer, but Lu takes that idea and shifts it around into this fantastic and thoughtful work. Don't miss this.

Author's summary: none given
Characters/pairing: Raw, Glitch
Warnings: none given - but, rest assured, no bunnies were harmed.

Recced because: 'Nil has this ability to make EPICNESS out of something as simple as three little words (in this case: Raw, bunny and plaid). I will take the blame for giving her the words, but what she came up with blew me away. I may have over-fangirled. A bit. But, there's Raw. And there can never be enough love for Raw.

Story: Behind a Smiling Face
Author: [livejournal.com profile] amedia
Rating: PG
Author's summary: Azkadellia and Glitch share tea but not their memories.
Characters/pairing: Azkadellia, Glitch
Warnings: None.

Recced because: [livejournal.com profile] amedia wrote this for me for the [livejournal.com profile] demilos_wagon exchange! That is not why I am reccing it, however. This story is haunting and looks to the darker sides of Azkadellia and Ambrose and the things they have done. In just over 2000 words, she has captured something truly special and thought provoking. I've been waiting to rec it for ages. =)

Rating: PG
Author's Summary: none given, it's an AU in which Adora lived
Characters/Pairing: Wyatt/Adora and apperances by the rest of the gang

Recced because: It's a bit late in the game but I have developed an appreciation of Adora. We all see her a bit differently, and she usually ends up the tragic symbol of all that has been lost in the OZ. This time around she gets to be part of the hope, and I am delighted to see at least one universe where she and Cain get another chance.

Story: I heard tell of it once...

Author's Summary: none given (clearly this is my theme this week), written for the [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic prompt "Ahamo and child!Az, a story from the Otherside
Characters: Ahamo and Az

Recced because: Hot off the presses! Young Azkadellia is bewildered by a few details from "Snow White", and the irony piles on as her father tries to explain it. Quick, charming, and delightful, it captures another perfect day just before everything falls apart. ♥

...wow this got loaded down with tags.

Author's summary: Baby, it's hot outside.
Characters: Glitch and Cain

Recced because: I could sit here and rec every single one of Nille's quick little "Glitch baffles and amazes Cain utterly just by being his brilliant self" fics but we'd be here all day. Like many of Nille's GBAACUJBBHBS fics it's only shippy if you take one line a certain way, but that's not the POINT. The point is I want the rest of the story, the promised adventure of retired heroes going off on a summer lark because I can see it all perfectly. There are so many details, so many delightful, fussy, fiddly things that make me squee like an excitable marmoset in just a thousand words. Yes yes, DO take your shoes off and hop right on in.

Instead of bugging people to rec I've decided, hey, it's my comm, I should give it a go for a change *snort*

Story: c plus 1 over a plus bee
Author: the-watched-pot
Rating: G
Author's summary: None given, it's a day in the life of a very young Ambrose.
Characters: Ambrose and his OC parents (first seen in No Place)

Recced because: It's possible that, like so many uber-geniuses, there was a time when Ambrose's intelligence could have been mistaken for another sort of specialness (as parents would call it). He sees the world differently and he knows it, but it is impossible to explain and equally impossible for a parent to understand. watched-pot expresses this frustration beautifully, and includes her usual touches of vibrant detail (and Munchkin ancestry references :D ) that make me adore this little universe.

Rating: G
Author's summary: Just how would they have earned 20 platinums to pay Airofday?
Characters: Team; emphasis on Glitch and Cain
Recced because: This is a lighthearted (and G-rated) answer to the question asked in the summary. It's not slash, but Glitch and Cain have a delightful partners-in-shadiness chemistry. Glitch's scientific dorkiness is also adorable.

Story: "Bean There, Done That"
Author: Kat097
Rating: PG-13
Author's summary: DG and Cain get to know each other a little better over a bag of jelly beans.
Characters/pairing: Cain and DG
Warnings: Occasional language

Recced because: Its always nice to come across the story that starts off fun, tosses you a bit of serious, but keeps you smiling until the end.  Cain and DG sharing secrets over one of her Otherside quirks is deliciously playful, and the author does an excellent job of keeping the story light, though some of the discussed subject material grows a little dark.  Oh, and watch out for purple beans.

Author's summary: The one in which they are mice. No, really. Alternately – You don’t have to be a man to be a hero.
Characters/pairing: Ensemble (gen)
Warnings: Crack!

Recced Because: Soooo much fun, and mousy Glitch goes "Wahoo!" and I do too. =)

Two fics, to possibly make up for all the days I missed.  Again, Glitch/Ambrose Week, apparenlty.

Story:
You, Who I Couldn't Save
Author: [livejournal.com profile] naturalbluicons 
Rating PG
Author's summary: “He wishes he could forget all the bad things because she just looks so sad.”
Characters/pairing:  Azkadellia, Glitch (possibly budding Azkadellia/Glitch)
Warnings: You’ll probably be wanting to have read Silver Shoes because this throws back to it.

Recced because: Heartbreaking.  Heart. Break. Ing.  Especially the last line. 


Story: Renounce
Author: [livejournal.com profile] surranndie 
Rating: PG
Author's summary:  Why, after they learn Glitch's real name, do they continue to call him "Glitch?" Missing scene, after the vision in Ralph and Loraine's cabin.
Characters/pairing:  Glitch, and crew

Recced because: IT IS ALL ABOUT THE FOURSOME LOVE.  I mean, you get a great sense of Glitch and what he thinks about his involvement with the sunseeder, but it's really all about how the four interact with each other.  How they have become family.

Rating:
 PG-13
Author's Summary: Before the father-son reunion, Jeb is rebuilding shattered childhoods, one horse at a time.
Characters/Pairing: Jeb
Warnings: None

Recced because:  For when you are in the mood for just reading about a character and why they do what they do, this is a nice one-shot backstory centering on Jeb and on why he carves his horses. 

He knew they didn’t mean to make him uncomfortable. They were friends. Fellow fighters. They wouldn’t intentionally inflict harm on him.

Story:  Three Ficlets
Author:  [livejournal.com profile] ink_n_imp 
Rating: PG-13
Author's Summary: 
   Fixed:  DG thought it would fix him...
   Sparks Flying:  Glitch used to be brillant.  Now he's brillant AND absentminded...
   Brains and Brawn:  You can't be the Brains AND the Brawn...
Characters/Pairing: 
   Fixed:  DG/Glitch
   Spakrs Flying:  Glitch/Cain
   Brains and Brawn:  Glitch/Cain
Warnings: None

Recced because:  Need a Tin Man fix?  Running short on time for lunch?  These are three ficlets that you can read quickly and satisfy that craving.  The author wrote them for the [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100  winter writing challenge.  The pairings are not over the top and the subject/content is work-friendly.  Enjoy!

Author's Summary: “When the skies are brighter canary yellow I forget every cloud I've ever seen…” - Rodgers and Hammerstein South Pacific
Characters/Pairing: All Glitch, all the time, like mama used to make.
Warnings: Baumian sentient trees!

Recced because: There is so much potential for woe with pre-series Glitch stories (really, I don't like to think about it too much), but you can't forget that optimism, that hope that things will work out. It's how he ultimately survived, and this short, sweet story is a perfect demonstration of that.

Story: Sounds of Stillness
Author: [livejournal.com profile] ameonna1
Rating: PG
Author's summary: A complication after surgery doesn't necessarily mean complications for everything else in life.
Characters/pairing: Ambrose, Cain, DG, and Az. Pick your ship, if you squint you'll see it but this can easily be read as gen.
Warnings: Noooone.

Recced because: This ranks as one of the more perfect post-series fics to me: post reverse-lobotomy complications? DG trying to find her place? Cain figuring out what to do with his life? Jeb being awesome? Az slowly recovering? All get check marks. Telegrams and letters exchanged? Oh yes, we got that too. But mostly we get family, and how you build one. Bright and hopeful and beautiful, I love it to bits.

Story: A Prayer At Lurlinemas
Author: [livejournal.com profile] penny_hill
Rating: G
Author's summary: A few months after Azkadellia's possession, Ambrose gives the Queen her Lurlinemas gift.
Characters/pairing: The Queen and Ambrose
Warnings: (provided by author) A little *sappy!fluffy* and generously sprinkled with references to Wicked.

Recced because: It's beautiful, heartbreaking, detailed, insightful and like nothing else I've read. Taking place in the the winter after Azkadellia's possession, this story shows us a tiny cross-section of life in the Palace. Ambrose is exactly as I imagine him, down to the tiniest detail of constantly carrying tools in his pockets for him to fiddle with.

Story: A Christmas Carol
Author: [livejournal.com profile] naturalbluicons
Rating: PG
Author's summary: Cain receives a lesson in the meaning of Christmas, and what it’s really about.
Characters/pairing: Cain, with Glitch, DG, Raw, Adora, and Jeb
Warnings: none

Recced because: A classic tale with our favorite characters taking on the parts of the original story. I love the look into Wyatt's past, with his lost family. I love Glitch (then again, who doesn't?) - both his take on one of the spirits and on his 'real' self, making his string of handmade lights. And DG, wonderfully herself, acting as the glue that holds their little family together. It's lovely!

Story: Swish! Kerplop! Whoo-wee! Eep! Pow!
Author: [livejournal.com profile] oddsbobs
Rating: All G except for 'Whoo-wee!' which is PG for brief language
Author's summary: None
Characters/pairing: Glitch, mostly
Warnings: None

Recced because: These five drabbles tell a continuous story, each using one of the titular onomatopoetic words. Glitch tries to figure out who he is and what he can do, chiefly by process of elimination. Put all drinks at a safe distance so that you can guffaw without fear of spraying the keyboard.

Story: Naming the Night
Author: [livejournal.com profile] aldebaran8423

Recced because: The author takes on Cain's time in the suit, something almost too painful to think about, and describes it with heartaching beauty.

Author's summary: None

Rating
: PG
Author's summary
: Raw, Glitch and Cain are forced to walk through unfriendly territory by their Longcoat captors. When Zero starts to get under Cain's skin, Glitch has something to say about it consequences be damned.
Characters/pairing
: Raw, Glitch, Cain and Zero
Warnings: More sighs of contentment

*More stories from the fanfiction vault and a departure from the Raw-centric stories this week*

Recced because: This one-shot was published on 1/4/2008.  Not only is it another backstory piece on the time when Cain, Glitch, and Raw were tied to the log, but also their developing friendship from Glitch's POV.  For those who love Glitch, this is really well done and deserves to be lovingly dusted off and re-read again.
