Yup, writing Connor. Or trying to. But man oh man it's hard. I do love the character, though. :)
Oh, and if anyone has any more recs, I would welcome them. I am still trying to find Conor's 'voice', and even though the tactic has a whiff of plagarism about it, I'm desperate enough to crash-read a whole pile of other people's stuff in the hope something will stick.
Doyle's Ice Cream For Freaks site has some great Connor stuff, of course. For me, one of the definitive Connor fics is yahtzee63's On the Education of a Young Man (http://www.thechicagoloop.net/yahtzee/chivalry/Chivfic/Education.htm). Yahtzee gets Connor, and it shows. If you haven't read her The Uninvited Guest (http://www.thechicagoloop.net/yahtzee/chivalry/Chivfic/UninvitedIntro.htm), you definitely should, and not just for Connor. He isn't the main character - actually, no one is the main character, but he's drawn very well...even though the fic can be considered AU.
