Yuletide reveal: 2 stories, Invisible Man (TV 2000) and Rejseholdet|Unit One

[dorinda]

Happy New Year, everybody! And happy Yuletide reveals day, which I always enjoy.

I wrote one assignment and one treat this year. My assignment was "The Invisible Man" (TV 2000), and the treat was for "Rejseholdet | Unit One":

Summary:

It's late at night after a solved murder, and Fischer desperately needs a smoke. La Cour, though...he seems to need something else.

As in Yuletide 2012, this year I got to write for my extremely-beloved-but-cancelled show from back in 2000, Sci Fi's "The Invisible Man", with long lanky Darien Fawkes, the science experiment gone wrong; and short intense Bobby Hobbes, his antagonistic teammate turned deeply loving partner. And oh, I just love the characters and their milieu so much aaaaaaa. This story actually came from the germ of an idea I had for my 2012 assignment but didn't get very far into at the time. It unfolded very differently this year than it would have before, so I'm glad I waited!

And I was dying to write a little Rejseholdet, to dip my toe in, hopefully in advance of writing something longer at a later date. (Me? Writing long? PERISH THE THOUGHT, she said, eyeing her 20K Yuletide assignment. *g*) I so wanted to give a little present to sakana17, who got me hooked on Rejseholdet to begin with.

Speaking of whom, it turns out she is the one who wrote my fantastic Rejseholdet Yuletide gift this year! She had me going for quite a while there, during our innocuous 'oh so what're you writing oh that sounds nice' chit-chat. Heh.

Anyway, I thought that the episode with the bondage cage, which both La Cour and Fischer end up folding themselves into at different times, really cried out for a little epilogue. With kissin' in. \o/

Oh, I love your Rejseholdet fic! Yowza!!

Guess it's time for a rewatch. Also, isn't the Fischer/La Cour dynamic almost eerily reminiscent of certain Hannibal/Will aspects?

Gadzooks, I'm sorry I missed your comment! I thought January at work was going to be a nice post-holiday catch-up lull but NOT SO MUCH. *facepalm*

Anyway, yay and thank you! And oh god yes I agree on the Fischer/La Cour having some fascinating parallels and echoes with Hannibal/Will--or at least, I'd say La Cour has a lot in common with Will. I don't see Fischer having strong commonalities with Hannibal, other than his actor, I think. Fischer to me seems impulsive, expressive, impatient (though granted, not always, as in his dynamic with the developmentally disabled man Otto), needy, ambitious, and soft-hearted, and I'd say the only one of those qualities I see in Hannibal is the needy part. And that only after Will comes along and Hannibal suddenly realizes he has these hungers and feelings for him that plain old cannibalism for some reason cannot provide. :D But both Hannibal and Fischer do have gigantic heart-eyes when they look at their respective partners!

La Cour and Will, though, wow. I was talking with a couple folks recently about this very thing. The consensus seemed to be that La Cour's powers are implied to have more of an actual otherworldly tinge than Will's--not just thinking like other people, but actually sensing bits of the future at times.

But their introvert/tightly-wound natures seem very similar. I was recently re-watching the La Cour Breakdown set of episodes, where Helene profiles the killer by saying she thinks he lives alone and "probably is quite controlled but with a short fuse" and "has a limited circle of friends", which makes La Cour think she's talking about him until she gets to the last bit (a problem relating to mature women, which La Cour doesn't have). La Cour, like Will, seems to prefer to keep to himself much of the time, and he doesn't even collect dogs for company!
