Есть такая категория фикрайтеров, которых я могу читать безотносительно к фандому. Вот, например, rageprufrock однозначно в этом моём списке, а ещё, пожалуй, в списке моего comfort reading. У неё (него? ничего не знаю про автора, на самом-то деле) такое приятное мне ненавязчивое чувство юмора. К примеру, посмотрите только, как про Оксфорд и Кембридж ловко подмечено)))

In 1994, Xavier was just 19, freshly minted a Doctor of Science and also a Master of Arts. His splashy, upsetting entry into Oxford five years earlier was a painful combination of his dazzling academic history, his family's old — "One could almost say medieval," says one source — money and his revelation, shortly after matriculating, he was a telepath. If everyone around him became nervous and Xavier suffered a sudden want for friends, then Xavier didn't notice, say sources who attended Oxford alongside him. When he submitted himself for testing at 17 and became the world's most powerful known telepath, it didn't improve matters, but the prevailing opinion at Oxford was that while all of this was highly irregular, annoyingly gauche and deeply discomfiting, the prospect of the world's most powerful telepath being at Cambridge instead was far more irregular, annoyingly gauche and deeply discomfiting.
