Summary:

"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be fine."

She dropped her hand to to stare incredulously at the tiger. "Let me repeat," she said, very slowly. "Calvin has a weapon whose power is only limited by his imagination."

"I said he'd be fine, nothing about the rest of us."


Reccer's Notes: And another Calvin and Hobbes fic!  So what if Rosalyn and Mrs. Wormwood really were aliens?  This is so funny and well-written and true to the spirit of the comic strip.  Bonus points if you can spot the crossover!

Summary: Who's up for a metaphor?

Reccer's Notes: This is a wonderful vid about the shows fandom loves and the ways we interpret them. (The vividcon llamas are a particularly nice touch.) The pointed use of phallic imagery always makes me giggle.

Fandom: Cotillion by Georgette Heyer
Characters/Pairings: Freddy Standen, Kitty Charing, Lord Legerwood, Lady Legerwood
Rating: Gen
Length: 4280
Creator Links: Lbilover
Theme: humor

Summary: In which Lord Legerwood has a conversation with his son, with predictable results, and Kitty provides Freddy with enlightenment.

Reccer's Notes: Cotillion is one of my favorite Heyer stories, and this fic is a lovely addition to it; all the voices are perfectly in character. Freddy is endearingly literal-minded and deeply in love with his Kitty; Lord Legerwood makes a valiant attempt to have The Conversation with Freddy at Lady Legerwood's urging, and hilarity ensues.

Theme:
humor, first time

Summary: This takes place shortly after the episode "Spare Parts". Blair is pissed off at Jim, and Jim is at a loss as to why.

Reccer's Notes: If you think that Jim made a big faux pas by using his favorite Blair nickname with someone else, you'll be able to commiserate with Blair. Enjoy.

Jim tries to get the drunk Blair home, but Simon insists they stop by the PD first. Through a series of improbable events, Blair ends up in the middle of one of Simon's cases.

Reccer's Notes: Don't try to make sense of it, just go for the humor. Enjoy.

Theme:
humor, fanvid, minor character, character of color

Summary: Coffee (and doughnuts) is normally something associated with cops, but it was to the nth degree in The Sentinel. One of the first things we hear out of Simon's mouth is that Cascade has "seven kinds of rain and forty-two different ways of ordering coffee". He had a series of coffee machines gracing his office over the years, and a cousin who sends him exotic blends. Set to the song "Coffee Time" sung by Carmen McRae, Sally shows us just how often this brew of the gods shows up in our guys' hands.

Reccer's Notes: The show's creators originally wanted to set the show in Seattle, but it became too expensive, so they made up the fictitious Cascade, which was somewhere not too far from Seattle.  It's little wonder that grunge bands references, constant rain and emphasis on coffee were found throughout the show. Enjoy.
