Title: Hopscotch by Two-Headed Boy
Fandom: Back to the future
Character/Pairing: Lorrain, George Mcfly, Lorrain/George Mcfly
Summary: Lorrain would like to kiss George again.
Why I Rec This Fic: I love Lorrain and have found no other fic that has her characterication down like this (or even fic that is focused on her at all), and of cause i am weak for the soft (if slightly nsfw) exploration of sexuality and gender. Its a hopeful fic, about people finding their true self and that makes me happy.

When they come to the hopscotch pattern, Lorraine follows it idly, hitching up her skirt and clumping through the familiar motions even in her nice pair of heels.
When she reaches the end, she turns back, trying to find George; she is surprised to see him hopping over the squares the way that she had.

"How'd you do that, Aunt Bertha?" Jenny had asked, fascinated. Wasn't often she'd heard stories where girls got to do things that weren't proper. In fact, this might be the first one.

"You always were the best piano player in town. Of course you could make it as a teacher, if you really wanted to."
"I do, Momma," Jenny said. "I do."

... where was she, in the story? The witch was her aunt, Jenny was the one who'd spent time alone with her and impressed the other schoolchildren, Jenny was the one who'd looked into the eye, Jenny was the one who'd been warned not to let herself get hooked. And Jenny had been completely replaced by Eddie.

Title: Everybody Needs Somebody To Love by norah
Fandom: Blues Brothers
Character/Pairing: Elwood Blues & Jake Blues
Elwood Blues, Jake Blues
Word Count: 2120
Summary: "Everybody needs somebody to love. You, me, everybody."
Why I Rec This Fic: There is not enough Blues Brothers fanwork, and this is a lovely bit about found family.

No; rather than becoming a courtier, Ebba has become a student of her queen, a scholar dedicated only to understanding Kristina. She has learned the texture of her skin and hair, the timbre of her voice and its variances, the shifting moods signalled by the way she moves her hands. She has picked up a smattering of Latin and Greek, the better to follow along when Kristina wishes to read to her. She has learned not to pull her corset strings too tight when a formal gown is called for- Kristina hates the feeling of being constricted, and will grow irritable and snappish if the strings are bothering her. She has memorized the places on her body that please her best when touched, like the spot below her left ear and the crease of her right elbow. Most importantly, Ebba- more than anyone else at court, save perhaps Chancellor Oxenstierna- knows what to do when Kristina's moods turn black and stormy. They often do.
