Fandom: FANDOM... ok, well, mostly MARVEL COMICS (specifically, Cable & Deadpool), but also FANDOM (also, this is kinda a crossover, but also really not, so I"m not really cheating) Pairing: none Length: 10,407 words Author on LJ: hradzkaAuthor Website: David Hines on AO3Why this must be read:Raise your hand if you love Yuletide! It's been a fanfic tradtion for, what, a decade now? Well, this story was written in 2009 for Yuletide and it's about a story being written in 2009 for Yuletide... yeah. Deadpool is in it. Thus, the 4th Wall is not only broken, but OBLITERATED and then scattered beyond the fringes of the nastiest corners of the internet. Deadpool and Cable make their way through the Yuletide archive, visiting a (rather infamous) story from each year in search of a perfect Christmas. It is not only meta, it's nostalgic meta and the end is very touching. This is on my HIGHLY recommended list for anyone, even people who are not really fans of Cable and Deadpool.

Fandom: Ocean's Eleven Pairing: Rusty Ryan/Tess Ocean, Danny Ocean/Tess Ocean (implied Danny Ocean/Rusty Ryan) Author on LJ: cherryiceAuthor Website: Cherry Bombs why this must be read: Because it fleshes Tess out and makes her a person instead of the brittle construct she is in the movie. Because the pacing is languid and the language is lyrical, and because this is a Tess I can believe Danny would fall in love with, and who I believe Rusty would share him with. This is Rusty and Tess on the road while Danny is in jail after the first movie, and it's lovely.

Hi hi. I'm victoria p. and I'll be driving the getaway car for this month of Ocean's 11 recs. I am pretty hardcore OTP about Danny/Rusty, so that's pretty much what all my recs will be, possibly with some gen sprinkled in. I'm starting with a fandom classic. Fandom: Ocean's Eleven Pairing: Danny Ocean/Rusty Ryan Author on LJ: N/A Author Website: Dorinda's Bare Bones Page why this must be read: Confidence Men is the granddaddy of O11 fanfic. Written for the first yuletide challenge, it's the kind of story that launches a fandom into the bigtime, with sharply observed characterization, snappy dialogue, deftly understated emotion both past and present, and a believable back story for Danny and Rusty. It's a classic for a reason. ( an excerpt ) Confidence Men by Dorinda If you enjoy the story, please let the author know.~*~ | |

I know we're only supposed to do one crossover, but I was basically being asked to choose between Christian Kane and Brad Pitt and that just ain't right, so this can count as one of recs for the month and you can send me to bed without supper or somethingTitle: You Can't Have Confidence Without a C-O-N by Hackthis Fandom: Lost/Ocean's 11 Pairing: Rusty/Sawyer, Rusty/Danny, and a wee bit of Rusty/Linus Author on LJ: hackthisAuthor Website: DysfuntionalWhy this must be read: Did you see the pairings? And also it's hysterical. And there are french fries. And Danny was just kidding about the Tess thing. And it has the best ending ever. And, okay, so it's kind of more of an Ocean's 11 fic with a guest spot by Sawyer, but he's there, and it's awesome, and did I mention the french fries? You Can't Have Confidence Without a C-O-N | |
