[community profile] ficinabox opened their collection last weekend and I got three gifts!

Title: and yet — and yet
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] elegantstupidity
Fandom: Gilmore Girls
Pairing/Characters: Rory/Jess
Rating: G
Word Count: 1000

I was sold at "library AU" - a lot of fun and great grasp on their voices/characters/dynamic. :D

Title: here to help
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] elegantstupidity
Fandom: Gilmore Girls
Pairing/Characters: Luke/Lorelai
Rating: G
Word Count: 2326
Summary: “All right, all right!” she called, already throwing open the door to whoever just had to visit Casa de Gilmore before seven in the morning.
Her money was on Babette looking for sugar for her and Morey’s coffee. Maybe Sookie with some pre-dawn revelation about the inn’s dinner menu. Certainly not—
“Luke?” She blinked, but, no, that was Luke Danes on her porch.

This was so delightful! I love Luke finding out about April earlier and him going to Lorelai and how everything unfolded. It felt very them. :D

Title: Complications
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] LearnedFoot
Fandom: Suits
Pairing/Characters: Mike/Harvey
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 12078
Summary: “Do I look like I’m kidding?”
She does not look like she’s kidding, but this is going too far, even for her. “Jessica, you can’t tell me what to do with my social life.”
One perfectly manicured eyebrow shoots up. “I can when your lack of discretion hurts my business. I don’t care who it is, I don’t even care if you like them. But if you’re at an event on firm time, you better have someone by your side.”
The hard flint of her eyes tells him she’s not backing down. Because this isn’t about Geoff Humphries and his busybody wife, not really. This is about proving she can still control him. More punishment for Gerald Tate, for not hiring an associate—
Hey, wait. Now that’s an idea.
Or: It's a fake dating AU!

Fake dating is legit one of my favorite things and this was SO perfect. I loved every word. :D

This is the other gift I got from [community profile] hurtcomfortex. :)

Title: Normal
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] LearnedFoot
Fandom: Suits
Pairing/Characters: Mike/Harvey
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 9784
Summary: “Welcome back,” Harvey tells him. “I always knew biking was a bad idea.”
Mike’s eyebrows squeeze together. He blinks again. Then, voice weak but clear, he says, “Sorry, who are you?”

Or: Amnesia fic. It’s amnesia fic.

I really love amnesia fic and this was one was beyond perfect. It gave me all the feelings and made me very happy. :D

This is 2/3 fanmix I made for [community profile] lands_of_magic 'we are the music makers' challenge. All links go to YouTube.

This is the other fic I got from [personal profile] candyheartsex.

Title: Never Goes Well
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] LearnedFoot
Fandom: Suits
Pairing/Characters: Mike/Harvey
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 2404
Summary: Mike hates Valentine’s Day. It never goes well.

This is adorable! Mike and Harvey are just so them and the fluff is so fluffy and it made me smile a lot. :D

[community profile] ficinabox revealed its collection last weekend. Over 750 fics in almost 300 fandoms. I got two gifts. This is one of them. :D

Title: Unorthodox
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] LearnedFoot
Fandom: Suits
Pairing/Characters: Harvey/Mike
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 6505
Summary: “So, not here for networking, not here for the canned pitch—what are you here for?” Harvey’s surprised to find the question is genuine. He hasn’t been this intrigued by a law student since…well, since he was one himself.
Mike holds up the plate of meatballs. “Free food.”
Or: In a slightly different life, Mike and Harvey still meet under unusual circumstances.

I'm a sucker for different meeting AUs and this was beyond excellent. Spot on voices and dynamic and I just could not get enough.

This is the other fic I got from [community profile] justmarriedexchange.

Title: Carried Away
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] LearnedFoot
Fandom: Suits
Pairing/Characters: Harvey/Mike, implied Rachel/Donna
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 9813
Summary: The apartment was originally supposed to be for Grammy, until its abrupt transformation into a symbol of all the ways he’d failed her as a grandson. Living there with Rachel gave it a new life, but now that’s failed, too. He hasn’t felt at home since the breakup; this final nail in that already buried coffin seems like a sign.

So he calls a realtor, sets a price, packs a bag, and shows up at Harvey’s condo without calling.

“About time,” Harvey says when he opens the door. “I expected you two days ago.”

Or: temporarily living together has unexpected consequences...


I loved this so much. Perfect characterization, with lots of banter and the right amount of angst and misunderstandings. Plus, the Mike and Rachel friendship was a fun bonus!

This is the final gift I got from [community profile] hurtcomfortex.

Title: Lean on Me
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] LearnedFoot
Fandom: Suits
Pairing/Characters: Mike/Harvey
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 7623
Summary: “What the hell happened?”

“I had a slight run-in with a cab.”

“A slight run-in with a cab.” Harvey frowns, eyes darting from the torn knees of Mike’s pants to his rumpled tie to what Mike can only assume is a pretty bad scrape on his cheek, judging from the stinging and the blood he’s wiped away multiple times in the last fifteen minutes. “It doesn’t look very ‘slight.’”


This was incredible. Early seasons Marvey with hurt Mike and protective Harvey is everything. I absolutely adored all the aspects about it- the characterizations, the banter. All was spot on. Can't say enough good things.
