YES. "Well," said Martha, evidently not in the least aware that she was impudent, "it's time tha' should learn. Tha' cannot begin younger. My mother always said she couldn't see why grand people's children didn't turn out fair fools-- what with nurses an' bein' washed an' dressed an' took out to walk as if they was puppies!" <3 Martha!
A reaaaaaally long time ago, I read an amazing teenage!Colin/Dickon fic regarding maharajah/servant boy roleplay and swing sets! It was hot like fire and hinted of C/D/M, and it had the best Dickon voice imaginable-- not to mention, the best Colin voice. It was by a writer named Aspen; her site was called Paper Moon. And... apparently all of the above have disappeared off the face of the internet, wtf. It's really frustrating me that I can't find this. ^^;
Also, I came to Secret Garden fandom via this (http://fire-and-a-rose.livejournal.com/551419.html) charming Narnia/Secret Garden crossover, and everything from Yuletide (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/fandom_frances_hodgson_burnett__secret_garden.html).
(I don't know why there's not a bigger fandom for Frances Hodgson Burnett's books in general; I've been considering writing Sara Crewe/Becky or Lavinia/Sara for years, mostly because of my great and abiding love for Alfonso Cuarón's take on A Little Princess.)
I was *totally* going to rec you Rock Stars; LJC's Jem-fic (http://ljconstantine.com/fanfic/jem.htm) is quite good in general! Rough (http://www.ficwad.com/story/4481) is superhot and probably my favorite Jem story; everything by Kanna Ophelia (http://www.ficwad.com/author/477) is likewise excellent. Into the Mirror (http://moodfic.livejournal.com/35002.html) helped me make sense of Rio. I wish I knew the Stingers PWP you speak of, because that sounds superlatively wonderful. I will exercise my Google fu and see if I can find this!
