Characters/Pairings: Matt Murdock/Franklin "Foggy" Nelson
Rating: Teen & Up
Length: 19k

Theme: Secret Identities, AU: Complete AU: Hotline/Radio, Disability

Summary: Matt hears a lot in the city at night, sirens and crime--and the late-night radio show Foggy With a Chance, which sometimes runs a Daredevil Watch if he's been particularly active, but which mostly plays music. He probably shouldn't call in and request a song, but he does it anyway.

Reccer's Notes: On principle I am opposed to the concept of an AU where Matt and Foggy don't know each other, because it's such a fundamental change in both of their lives, but. This story is SO ADORABLE. Matt keeps calling into Foggy's radio station and asking Foggy to pick a song for him! And then it turns out they're neighbors. My heart.

Characters/Pairings: Woody/Buzz
Rating: PG-13
Length: 5,107
Creator Links: Kass
Theme: Secret Identities, Cuddling Snuggling & Bed-Sharing

Summary: Buzz's smile makes Woody want to do things he isn't even sure he understands. And he's pretty sure Buzz wouldn't understand, either.

Reccer's Notes: This is such a sweet fic, perfectly capturing the characters in a really earnest way and depicting a really cute relationship, but what I really love about it is how much the author commits to portraying the characters as in canon - as toys. Everyone in this is an animate toy living out their own secret life (thus the theme :P), and it really makes the fic feel unique and surprisingly plausible!

Characters/Pairings: Principal Morita, Peter, Ned, MJ, etc
Rating: PG
Length: 4285
Creator Links: Zelos
Theme: Secret Identity, outsider pov, secret identity reveal,

Summary: Kids didn’t lie as well as they’d like to believe. Neither did adults, for that matter.

Five times Principal Morita suspected.

Reccer's Notes: Really good outsider POV, canon-tied plot and great characterisation. Headcanon accepted.
Also, Peter is very bad at secret identities.

Length: 43,021
Creator Links: manic_intent
Theme: secret identities, secret identity reveal, action/adventure, Alternate Universe: modern, Alternate Universe: secret agent-spy, established relationship + plot, humor, marriage of convenience

Summary: Ten minutes to go to ground zero and Artyom was still desperately trying to escape. “I have never attended little girl’s birthday party,” he pointed out repeatedly, and actually pouted, big blue eyes wide and pleading.

“Always a first time,” Napoleon said mercilessly, pulling on a charcoal Tom Ford blazer over his loose gray knit. “Mrs Siegfried invited us weeks ago, Artyom, don’t be a baby. You’ve had quite a while to gird your loins. We’re going to a party, not some sort of trench warfare. Smile.”

Artyom scowled, which was admittedly normally an adorable look even for a tall, blonde Russian giant of a man. “I do not like Mrs Siegfried,” Artyom declared, clearly intent on being as recalcitrant as possible.

Reccer's Notes: A delight of a Mr and Mrs Smith AU. Do I need to say more? :D

Characters/Pairings: Neal, Peter, El, the team
Rating: PG
Length: 17566
Creator Links: copperbadge
Theme: secret identities, secret identity reveal, casefic, cops & crime,

Summary: A routine investigation into an art theft turns up Neal's fingerprints on a stolen painting. Neal swears he's never stolen a Nullier painting, but that's only half the truth...

Reccer's Notes: I love this fic so much, how art centric it is, Neal and Peter banter, Neal's poor life choices but excellent artistic streak!
It's just perfect and it makes me want to go to the museum to see the paintings.
