Summary: Thrill is to make it up. [An] homage to Sarah Walker, ass-kicker extraordinaire.

Reccer's Notes: Time for a blast from the past! For those who may not remember, Chuck was a show in the late 20-aughts about a hapless IT nerd who accidentally downloads a CIA/NSA database into his brain and is subsequently dragged into a world of spy capers. This vid about Sarah, one of Chuck's super-competent spy-handlers and his sometime fake girlfriend, is an old favorite of mine; it's full of phenomenal action sequences, but it also captures Sarah's occasional wistfulness and longing for something genuine really beautifully.

Theme: amnesia
Summary: Chuck's days are very ordered. He can remember lists, so he makes lists of everything: lists of things he knows about his sister, about Devon, about Morgan, about Anna, about Jeff and Lester, about Big Mike, lists of cheat codes in video games he plays with Morgan, lists of important dates in his own history. He has a list of what he's supposed to do every day and he follows it in sequence.

Reccer's Notes: The thing about Chuck/Bryce is that there's something inherently tragic about them that makes reading fic about them incredible and terrible all at the same time. It's the part of the show that Josh Schwartz likes to ignore most of the time - the complicated, unfair part where people die and get hurt and get taken advantage of all under the name of doing the right thing. Fics like this, that acknowledge that part, are wonderful simply because they make me wish that someone other than the man responsible for this was in charge of this show/concept.

It's sad, and wonderfully written, spine-chilling, and amazing.
