Fandom: Much ado about nothing
Character/Pairing: Beatrice, Hero
Beatrice/Benedick, Hero/Claudio, Beatrice/Hero, Benedick/Claudio
Word Count: 100
Summary: Married couple discussing a problem in bed.
Why I Rec This Fic: Beatrix putting her love and proctivness of Hero above the men in the play (men who like to have everything resolve around them) is my fav thing in canon and I love seeing it here too. Fire is Beatrix way of showing her love.

Title: the rhythm of the rain by xerampelinae
Fandom: Much ado about nothing
Character/Pairing: Beatrice, Hero
Beatrice & Hero
Word Count: 1516
Summary: AU: Modern setting. "Beatrice and Hero return to their lives in Boston after the wedding falls through."
Why I Rec This Fic: I have to admit Benedick/Beatrix never reall had it for me, but I love Hero and Beatrix relationship, and stories about healing, so this was my thing. I also deeply love how i felt the feeling of home and homesickness in this.

Hero had always wanted to have a family. Round-faced children and a faceless but beloved spouse. Beatrice? Not so much. She was satisfied with the idea of a house next to Hero’s. Their parents laughed.
“Maybe that’s why it hurts so much,” Hero murmurs. “It’s not--not just what he did but the future that was lost with him.”

Title: Dessert by SassySnowperson for mazily
Fandom: Much ado about nothing
Character/Pairing: Beatrice, Don Pedro, Benedick
Beatrice/Benedick, Beatrice/Don Pedro, Benedick/Don Pedro
Word Count: 1697
Summary: "Earlier in their marriage, Don Pedro tried and failed to give them space."
Why I Rec This Fic: I repeat I just like this ship, pining with a happy end.

Title: The Wedding Party Wore Black by Lemur710
Fandom:
Character/Pairing: Beatrice, Benedick, Hero
Beatrice & Hero, Beatrice/Benedick
Word Count: 3490
Summary: "Beatrice and Benedick share an anniversary with Hero and Claudio. When Hero asked to join their family at the lake house to mark 10 years, Beatrice agreed readily.
When Hero arrived with her children but without Claudio, Beatrice hadn’t really wondered why."
Why I Rec This Fic: I am so very happy to see that someone else needed catharsis about Hero marrying Claudio. The fic really captures the feeling of the play and gives such sweet gentle support not only from Beatrice for Hero but also from Benedickt. It also maybe the first time I believe in Beatrice and Benedickts love, they are beautifuly adult-y long time commited with children in love and I could get used to more of that in media.

Title: Another for Working Days by SassySnowperson
Fandom: Much ado about nothing
Character/Pairing: Beatrice, Don Pedro, Benedick
Beatrice/Benedick, Beatrice/Don Pedro, Benedick/Don Pedro
Word Count: 13172
Warnings: sex
Summary: "AU: Don Pedro proposes, Beatrice accepts, and Benedick never saw it coming."
Why I Rec This Fic: I love this ship, and I think it deserves more love. I love the way the relationships is written, there is a lot of pining and attempts at noble sacrificing for love. But I also love the way the strengths/vices and flaws of the characters are written- Beatrice is sharp witted as always but she is also good at diplomacy and practical, and Don Pedro is a good man but more important he is ready to become a better one.
