I Hate This Part (Right Here) by seperis (M)
Hey there, I'm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trovia and I'm going to drive the Van for the Chuck fandom this month. I actually discovered Chuck by way of browsing this comm and reading the fandom overview written by secondalto in 2008. It's still applicable, so maybe you should read it, too. Meanwhile, I have searched all the fandom for good fic to rec this month. It will feature all kinds of characters and pairings, especially but not exclusively the members of Team Bartowski. Expect quite some gen and lots of plottiness. Don't expect a lot of porn.
Fandom: CHUCK
Pairing: none (Chuck, Casey, Sarah)
Length: ~ 7000 words
Author on LJ:seperis
Author Website: AO3 fic list
Why this must be read: In this Chuck POV fic, Chuck has been drugged, having to be saved by his team (again). It's the very first fic that occurred to me when I started thinking up recs. Everything about this story just works out - tone of voice, POV, the balance of comedy and team adventure and little bits of angst. It's a story that could have been taken right out of an episode, except thatseperis put a little more thought and effort into it than can be expected from a panicking scriptwriter with an intimidating deadline.
The irritating part is, of course, that it was all Chuck's own brilliant idea, so he has no one to blame but himself. Well, Bryce (for the Stanford thing, and the Intersect thing) and the US government (for the mission thing) and Sarah (for agreeing; why would she do that? Is his suffering *funny* to her or something?) and Casey (for not fighting Sarah harder; it's because he hates Chuck, that's why), but mostly, Chuck, who heard *video game conference* and didn't remember this never, ever ends well.
Biting down to keep his teeth from chattering (and failing, spectacularly), Chuck looks out at the dim outline of a Casey probably most familiar to those who died *really soon after* he shot them. Video game conferences that involve people selling missile codes, to be fair, just don't usually involve the biggest storm of the year and an apartment at the edge of the city, but the thing is, really. Really, he should have seen this coming. It's never just missile codes. It's also hideous personal humiliation.
