Aug. 9th, 2009 12:49 pmPreamble: I hate fashion. I hate shoes, belts, scarves, makeup and fancy bags. The only well-dressed person with taste in this household is my husband (cue to his vast collection of shoes from various angles).
Nevertheless, the City! Series - a fashion AU sucked me in like mad. Kirk as fashion zine editor, Bones as his top photographer, Spock and Uhura as fashion team, Chekov as model... and Joanna as a cute girl living with McCoy and teaming up with Jim all the time. So lovely and funny and yum. Even if the idea of a fashion AU makes you want to run - give it a try. It's worth it!
And then I'd like to rec The Size of his Dream (McCoy, Pike) - a missing scene with the talk between Pike and McCoy that ends with McCoy signing up for Starfleet. Lovely character studies that might make it into my personal Reboot canon.

Well, I've been on a girly kick for a few months now but ssshhh don't tell anyone.(no subject)
