Windsor Blue

Windsor Blue

Windsor's fics are (an archivist's nightmare) a little complicated to classify. They can nearly all be worked into the same timeline, and yet, they can all be read as independent works. Some of the earliest fics in the arc are also 2+4, then it goes into 1+2 then 1+2+5. (and she didn't post them in chronological order on her site either) Since this is a 1x2x5 site, we have decided to rec only the fics where the focus is on at least two of our guys interested in each other. ;P If you want the 2+4 and other pairings fics, go to her main page.

I'm not going to review each of her fics individually, because there isn't much more to say than WHOA. She's seriously good, be it with angst or humor or sap. Her writing skills are admirable, and her characterizations rock. The boys feel very much in character and she still manages to give them an original tint. Oh, and she also manages to put OCs in her stories that are not either the Perfect Helpful Mary-Sue or the Perfect Villain. They're ... people.
