But first: I was going to republish a meta I did that I wrote out of spite. I really wanted to write a Michael/Fiona ship manifesto for Het Reccers, but at the time, I couldn’t claim them because someone else had claimed them at the comm (the policy was first come, first serve with couples, and I had the misfortune of being out the day signups started, missing out on them by mere hours). I received anonymous advice to write the manifesto anyway, and so I did. I originally published this manifesto for HC Bingo. Looking at it now, I feel part of it was boring because it extensively recapped Michael and Fiona’s relationship, and part of it was cringeworthy because I feel the manifesto attacked shippers “not doing it right” for dumb reasons. tl;dr I felt that manifesto was not worth saving or updating, and I decided to delete the manifesto. (It’s not the one I would write for Het Reccers.)

That said, I wrote the following as a follow-up to that manifesto. It’s about one episode of Burn Notice and a ship analysis.

Summary: An essay on the final episode of Burn Notice, "Reckoning," and some of the events leading up to that episode.

I might regret pushing this so soon after importing this from Het Reccers @ LJ, but I didn’t see anything wrong with this meta, aside from removing one fic rec.

Title: Fiona's Confessions
Author: merryghoul
Fandom: Burn Notice
Pairing/Characters: Fiona Glenanne/Jesse Porter, Gabriel, OCs
Rating: Mature
Length: ~3800 words
Summary: Desperate to prove she's being framed for murder, Fiona Glenanne entrusts her reputation—and her life—to the man whose heart she once broke. Jesse Porter, a sexy former Army counterintelligence agent turned detective, has never been the same since military action. But behind his cold demeanor, he still burns for Fiona.

Taking her case is an easy but dangerous decision for Jesse. Together they must race against the clock to find the real killer, who now wants them both dead. More dangerous, however, is their sudden, reignited passion. Jesse will do anything for a second chance with Fiona…while she'll do everything to keep the secret she never wants him to know…
Notes: Summary (as well as the style of this fic) taken from Confessions by Cynthia Eden. Set after Season Six and then goes AU from there. Does mention events from season three.

I was putting together my Burn Notice masterpost and deleting some posts in my journal when I noticed this fic was never posted here. It was posted at comment_fic and femslash100, but never here. However, it's up on AO3. It's also the first part of a series I'll have a masterpost for Dreamwidth made for soon, The Man Down Jobs.

Title: People Watching
Prompt: #325, glass (for femslash100 ; also for comment_fic)
Fandom: Burn Notice/Leverage
Pairing: Fiona Glenanne/Parker
Rating: PG
Word count: 100
Summary: How not to people watch on South Beach.

After Fiona picked her friend Parker up from the airport, they drove to Carlito's, where Parker ordered two glasses of whiskey.

Parker picked up the empty rocks glasses and started looking through them, as if they were binoculars.

"What are you doing, Parker?" Fiona said.

"I'm people watching."

"Parker, you can't watch people through rocks glasses."

"You told me to look at people wearing bikinis while I was on South Beach, and I didn't bring binoculars."

"That's because I told you not to bring binoculars."

Fiona sighed. She flagged down a nearby waitress. "I'll have another Bloody Mary please. Thanks."
