Richard Armitage Legenda 100: Stuff worth reading

[Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

Richard Armitage-related fanfiction

• At Something About Love (A): “Thorin’s Dream of Love” goes to ch. 4. and ch. 5.
• Really interesting — at wattpad, a Spooks / Life on Mars crossover fic by siriuslygrednforge, “Walking on the Moon.” Lucas North is transported to the past — and has the chance to meet his mother. Plus points for ongoing citation of Sting songs. Four chapters so far.
• KathrynD indexes her Lucas North / Spooks fanfic. I have linked some of these stories here — but not all of them. Check it out.
• Guylty indexes her previous photo ficlets.
• “The Saga of Vaenomar” goes to ch. 33. Pre-history of Erebor exiles / romance / occasionally edge.
• At DF (ask someone if you’re not a member): Obscura’s “Recovery” goes to ch. 18. John Porter / OFC / AU. This one’s definitely NC-17.
• Thorin comfort fic in response to the madness in the TDOS trailer.
• Note — I have not read this, but it was advertised somewhere as inspired by Armitage.
• At A03: “Physical (you’re so)” by Red_Shiloh (RPF / slash / Armitage + O’Gorman plus other pairings). Make sure you read disclaimers; O’Gorman’s a prostitute in this one. I have to say that I’m incredibly curious now about how this is going to end. Fanfic has really taught me a lot about the experience of the nineteenth-century reader, waiting for the next installment of Dickens.

Fanfic authors verge into original stories

• At wattpad: KathrynD’s “The Warmth of Strangers.” A sweet romance to warm you up on a cold fall evening. And an index of her original fiction.
• At wattpad: CarlyQ’s “Safety of Solitude.” Romance with edge but / and lots of sexy.
