Snowflake challenge, day 13

In your own space, ask for recs. Something as simple as "I like XYZ (where XYZ is a kink, a pairing, a trope, etc) - please rec me some."

I am going to wholesale steal< shewhostaples's idea because I think it is so very awesome (uh, I hope you don't mind?):

What I really like, in book fandoms, is fics where the author has managed to pull off a pastiche - where the style is comparable to the original - where you remember a bit of the plot a few months later and wonder for a moment if that was actually canon... Any book fandoms: even if I don't know it, if it's a reasonable synthesised approximation to canon, I shall be able to use it as a guide to see whether I want to investigate said fandom.

(In the comments to el_staplador's post, I recced these book pastiche fics:
The End and the Way, LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness
The Lord of Joiry, C.L. Moore's Jirel of Joiry
The Derelict, C.L. Moore's Northwest Smith stories
Queen of Berries, Tolkien's Smith of Wootton Major
Ears to Hear (Tillerman Saga - Voigt)
In the Dark Hours of the Morning - Code Name Verity, but if you haven't actually read CNV pleeeeeeease don't read this first BECAUSE SPOILERS

..and of course Vorkosigan fic has a lot of these; some of my favorites:
Aral Vorkosigan's Dog -- this is told from the POV of a different character so the voice isn't completely spot on, but it's pretty close... actually pretty much everything Philomytha writes is gold
Twenty-Year Man
Money Always Costs Too Much)

More, please? Any fandom?

(I will probably get to 10-12, someday, but because I've just got a little tiny bit of time and I'm thinking about this right now...)
