Ocean's 11 fic rec

[whynot]

I am Jack's fic rec.

See, there's this writer called Dorinda and she wrote an Ocean's 11 fic called Confidence Men. Now if you're like me, you'd be squeaking, "Ocean's Eleven!" and be clicking that link like woah. But if you're not, hey, no worries, nobody's perfect.

The fic has a great voice, first of all. It's one of the first things I noticed. The tone of the fic fits and is as fun to read as the movie is fun to watch. It's also got great dialogue. I'm a sucker for great dialogue, because great dialogue implies great characterisation. And then and then, there's the Danny/Rusty bit. It's... I don't know. It flows. It works. The part from the failed drug scam to the motel room but before the clothes come off is how I want to write slash. There are tense and serious moments in this fic that are not angsty, and that rocks. Unangsty serious moments are highly underrated.

I wonder why I didn't take a closer look at this Yuletide thing out before. Obscure fandoms up the wazoo. I'm home. Kind of. For the record, this is also home: everyoneisgay.

Carry on.

Edit: Oh, dear god, Tintin/Captain Haddock. I ventured a peek, braved a foray, and I couldn't do it. Too much. Too much.

I know hackthis has written some Ocean's Eleven that you can find in her memories here (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=hackthis&keyword=Miscellaneous&filter=all). I remember reading another O11 fic by some other person but I don't know where that one went. It wasn't as enjoyable as this one, though.

Oh, and these:

I like the top better than the bottom, and they both pale in comparison to 'Confidence Men'.

Wow, thanks for sharing that O11 fic. I read another fic of that fandom some time ago that was pretty decent. I can't remember where it was, though, and it's bothering me. You wouldn't happen to know of others?

I think I might have read that. See above. Was it a kind of a 'morning after' fic?

It was my distinct pleasure displeasure whatever. It scared me too.

Hmmm, I remember it was one where they just sort of had sex because Danny wanted and Rusty gave and didn't hold him accountable for anything.

I think it may have been morning after.

Tin Tin >> if this is anything like Pokemon, we'll be seeing Snowy in the mix as well.

Draw your own conclusions. I ain't touchin' it no more.

Uh. Thanks... for the link. It was super. *gouges eyes out*

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Yeah. My mama's always told me it was nice to share. I also didn't want to be the only one to suffer.

You were right.
