bofoddityI need a Bond-icon. Preferably with lots of Bond-thigh.
I can't tell yet whether or not Casino Royale will have the similar fan following as Goldeneye does, but as a fandom it has very promising start. Here are some great fics that I've stumbled upon so far:
Close Your Eyes and Think of England, by monimala
A crossover with Veronica Mars, Bond/Veronica. Nobody writes Veronica the character the way monimala does, and she has a good hold on Bond as well. A sequel, Brace Yourself Bridget, is worth reading too.
Queen of Spades, by astolat
Bond/M. I've aching to see some Bond/M ever since Brosnan's movies, and with Casino Royale, I finally got it. Fantastic characterization for both Bond and M, and a very nice view to the world they live in. There should be more delicious older woman/younger man-fic out there.
Doing the Double, by guede_mazaka
Bond/Le Chiffre, semi-noncon. I knew that the torture scene in the movie would end up inspiring some slash, so I was very glad that the first fic I stumbled on was very good one. This is set after the movie, with Le Chiffre who is alive and not so well. Bond is very cold and harsh in this one, just like he should be. Le Chiffre's character too feels real to the point that it's easy to see this story as an actual epilogue to the movie.
There's also a community, casinoroyalefic with some fic floating around. It will be interesting to see how active it's going to be.
