Title: Eudaimonia
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] Poetry
Fandom: Rivers of London/HDM fusion
Genre: daemon AU
Length: Short (5,191+ words)

Author's Summary:
In the world of His Dark Materials, losing your dæmon is a much scarier prospect than losing your face. Or, vignettes from a world where Peter and Nightingale call their enemy the Dæmonless Man.

Review:
I didn't know I wanted a daemon AU for Rivers of London, but this was really nice. I love how Peter has a whole spiel about his daemon's species - it's very Peter.

Title: Portrait of Maladict
Author: [tumblr.com profile] alexa-eve
Fandom: Discworld
Genre: fanart (digital)

Author's Summary:
“Good evening, gentlemen! Please pay attention. I am a reformed vampire, which is to say, I am a bundle of suppressed instincts held together with spit and coffee. It would be wrong to say that violence does not come easily to me. It’s not tearing your throats out that doesn’t come easily to me. Please don’t make it any harder.” -Terry Pratchett, Monstrous Regiment

Review:
For Monstrous Regiment fans: cool digital portrait of Maladict in uniform!

Title: Parts of the Process
Author: [fanfiction.net profile] Asrai
Fandom: Torchwood, Doctor Who
Genre: AU, Time Travel, Future fic, Ianto lives (and Tosh too!)
Pairing: Jack/Ianto, Jack/various, Ianto/various
Length: Medium (49,182 words)

Author's Summary:
And although Ianto goes hurtling through the universe, crossing time and space seems to teach him one thing in particular – that all roads lead to Rome.

Review:
There's a lot to love about this fic: Ianto travels with the 12th Doctor while Jack is away with the 11th in the Year That Never Was. Ianto gets stranded in the future - the 51st century, for added interest. Ianto studies at the Time Agency. Jack gets a real happily ever after. Tosh and Ianto both get to live. There's some lovely world-building for the 51st century and the Time Agency.

There are also some things that made me sad: the reason Jack had his memory wiped by the Time Agency. How this fic ended so suddenly after such care was taken to build it up.

But the good far outweighs the bad. It's the kind of fic I'll end up rereading from time to time.
