Ohhhh, I love those Django fics - I'd not read A Lonely Fire before, so thank you for reccing it! It's an interesting fandom, Django is. I loved the film actually, but I think fic is so easy to get horribly wrong - the OT3 is potentially glorious but has to be very particularly balanced. And it's lightyears different from Ben/Rose/Hannibal, who are all realists - like, they are romantic and passionate but always rational and aware about their identity and surroundings. Their love is tame, and mature, I think. Broomhilda/Django/Shultz, meanwhile, are enjoy drama, and there's a lot of heroic grandeur going on between them, which is hard to capture with fic. But the ones you linked really worked!
Also, I love your list of favourite characters. Peeeter. I love his voice so much, and the - naturalness with which he is written. Like, I know people like that! I am a person like that! It's really cool to see that in books. Apparently the fourth book is coming out next month - can't wait!
