The Gray Gale

Story: Untitled
Author: luchia13
Rating: PG-13
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.

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

Recced because: amedia wrote this for me for the 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. =)

Story: Four Shadows
Author: *the-watched-pot
Rating: G
Author's summary: "...Something short and hard to forget." I wanted to see how Ambrose and the Queen behaved around each other and ii) I like the idea that not all of Glitch's quirks suddenly appeared after the surgery.
Characters/pairing: Ambrose and Lavender Eyes
Warnings: None

Recced Because: I have been using my Ambrose icon a lot this week! This is a slightly different take on him then we've seen that suggests maybe Ambrose and Glitch are not quite so seperate as some might think.

Story: The Best Laid Plans

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. =)

Story: Social Butterfly
Author: surranndie
Rating: PG
Author's summary: Glitch falls back into his old ways and Cain cannot take it.
Characters/pairing: Glitch/Cain, mention of DG and nameless others.
Warnings: None.

Recced Because: Another look at Ambrose and his past, and looking into the future for he and Cain. A lovely and unexpected story.

Story: Rebirth
Author: eleanor_ariail
Rating: G
Author's summary: A little drabble about letting the past die and becoming part of something bigger.
Characters/pairing: DG, Glitch, Cain, and Raw
Warnings: None.

Recced because: Not only is eleanor_ariail an awesome beta, she is a wonderful writer! This was the first fic by her that I read, and I knew when I did that I was in good hands. I will stop there before this become a love letter to Elly. Lovely imagery and use of words abound in this little piece, and it seemed perfect to end the week on. It’s been fun! I hope you’ve enjoyed my recs!

Story: Hell's Around The Corner (But The Trip Ain't Free)
Author: luchia13
Rating: R to NC-17
Author's summary: When Cain moved to the city, he was intent on taking down the crime lord that controlled it. But the crime lord has other ideas. And that's when everything goes to hell.
Characters/pairing: I think almost everyone makes an appearance. Cain/Glitch
Warnings: Character death, murder, violence, profanity, disturbing imagery, porn, a lack of morality and a whooole lot of other Bad Things that I'm probably forgetting. This fic remains quietly vicious.

Recced because: Nothing says HAPPY THANKSGIVING like AU, 1920s, questionable morals, masks, and general mayhem. Marvelous! =)

My twofer is two from the same author, on pretty different sides of the spectrum.
