Consistently, predictably, dependably, unwaveringly ERRATIC

Day 12

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you think would make a good intro into XYZ fandom. Rec a fandom overview, a introductory picspam, stories that define and shape the fandom.

Hmm, well, a few days ago when I was thinking about how I fell into RPF, I started thinking about how much I loved Prison Break fandom. Reading msgenevieve's amazing Michael/Sara fics led me into reading her amazing Wenthworth Miller/Sarah Wayne Callies fic (and it all went from there.)

But oh, Prison Break was fantastic. It was also completely insane, made no sense most of the time and had plot holes you could drive a truck through (genius architect gets himself arrested and thrown into maximum security gaol to break out his brother who's on death row for a murder he didn't commit. Tattoo fans take note - Michael has the entire plan tattooed on his torso.) But what made it so amazing for me? Hero Doctor Sara aka Dr. Sara Tancredi. When I first heard of the show and idly watched the first few episodes, I thought 'oh, check out the blatant love interest - pretty young female doctor in all-male prison. Hah.' And soon gave up watching. My mistake. Because when I caught the first couple of S2 episodes, I fell head over heels.

Pretty female doctor, recovering morphine addict (who relapses in S1), Governor's daughter, principled, moral, holding on to sobriety with both hands - and falling in love with an inmate, becoming an inadvertent part of his escape plan and then she's on the run as well.

I maintain that Prison Break ended when the cuffs came off in the S2 finale. S3 never happened and S4 was just providing us with some AU Michael/Sara footage. But there was some fantastic canon and some brilliant fic.

I was trying to find some of the S1&2 vids but not having much luck. But watch these two and see if you can not fall in love.

This vid shows more of their relationship - not just the kissing *g* - but it also has spoilers (although with Prison Break ... don't believe everything you see.) I just beamed watching this because these two weren't supposed to fall in love, went through sheer hell, together and separately - and they made it through.

For fic recs:

I said I'm not keen on prison fic and that holds true - I much prefer post-escape fic. 

msgenevieveof course.

Trick of the Light - AU post-S1 - The first time she thinks she sees him, she blames the complimentary Mai Tais.

The epic Full Circle 'verse, an AU of S2 that incorporates all the best bits of canon.

The bittersweet Surrogates bysaestina- Sara and LJ are the ones left to pick up the pieces.

Day 13 

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favourite interview, a book) and explain why you love it so much.

"When you first take the job, they tell you never to fall in love with an inmate..."

See those two gorgeous people above? Let's count my favourite bits of canon - the origami flower, the hand porn (x2!), the infirmary kiss, the phone call, the reunion hug, the train kiss ... some of the best couple canon out there. I tried to find individual clips but they don't seem to be around anymore.

"It was real, Sara. You and me, it's real."

(Oh fuck me, I nearly lost this whole post. *deep breaths*)
