September Theme is Closed

[elrhiarhodan]

Thank you everyone for your Casefic-focused fanwork recommendations. The theme is now closed.

The round-up post for recommendations and the update to the community master list will be issued next week eventually.

OCTOBER RECOMMENDATIONS - SPOOKY FICS

[elrhiarhodan]

This marks the first anniversary for wcredux. For this month (because your mods are swamped at work), we're going to start the calendar again, but if you have any suggestions for new themes or new ways of doing this, please let us know. A comment here or a PM will be perfect.

That being said, it's time for you to bring out your spooky fics! Stories don't necessarily need to be about Halloween, but there should be some element of creepiness or surprise or fear. This is also the month to self-rec your death and dying fics, too.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before April 2015), but the older the fanwork, the better.

Posts for this theme will be open until October 31. Early in November, your mods will collect the recommendations and add them to the master list.

Please don't hesitate to contact a mod if you have any questions.

October Rec - The Quality of Light

[elrhiarhodan]

Author: elrhiarhodan
Characters/Pairings: Neal Caffrey
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~2000
Theme: October - Spooky
Original Publication Date: December 24, 2013
Content Notes: Themes of grief and loss, deaths of canon characters.
Summary: For fifty years, Neal has kept something just above his heart, something he stole because it reminded him of the one person who once believed that he could be more than just a thief (Season 5 themes, but could also be read as post-series)
Why should people re-read this story?: I've written my share of angsty fics and death fics, but there are few that really make me ache like this one does.
