Guest rec: Rarepairs revisited III

[ifreet.livejournal.com]

I meant to use a broader theme for this set? And then it turned into a Frannie lovefest, and I decided just to embrace it.

Frannie/various (includes Frannie/OFC, Frannie/OMC, Frannie/Elaine, Frannie/Turnbull, and Frannie/Fraser/Kowalski) Fun and Games by madsciencechick/somewhatdeluded. Arguably my all-time favorite Frannie story. Frannie doesn't stop until she finds -- until she makes -- her happy ending.

Frannie/OFC, Frannie/Stella, Frannie/Elaine, Frannie/Thatcher, Frannie/Maggie Chick Habit by ignazwisdom The author's summary says it better than I can -- Francesca Vecchio learns to want, learns that she can’t have what she wants, and finally learns that she can.

Frannie/Ray Kowalski, Frannie/Elaine, Frannie/Turnbull It Never Rains But It Pours by brooklinegirl. A series of joyful encounters.

( Excerpt )

Frannie/Elaine Fangirl!Frannie by innocentsmith. Frannie discovers and embraces media fandom. (One of us!)

Frannie/Elaine 'cause we belong together now by wintercreek A lovely established relationship piece.

( Excerpt )

Frannie/Maggie, with background Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio hundreds of miles north of anywhere by lordessrenegade Frannie goes to visit her brother and his family for the holidays. A sweet story with terrific dialogue -- and never quite as melancholy as my memory tries to make it.

Frannie/Kowalski, background Fraser/Vecchio Getting this happy takes practice by belmanoir. Ray goes undercover as Frannie's boyfriend. It's not exactly a deep cover. A guaranteed smile.

Frannie/Fraser, Frannie/Kowalski What You Make of It by dessert_first. Frannie/Fraser is tricky to find in my usual online haunts, and when I do encounter it, it's difficult to overcome my own resistance to the pairing. This one manages it as an AU -- a fusion with 'While You Were Sleeping.' Funny and warm.
