There's a glut of good things, enough that I'm not even close to finished reading, but here's a few of the ones I've really enjoyed so far.
( The History Boys, Equilibrium, The Sting, Snowpiercer, Heat, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, The Scarlet Pimpernel and Dracula )

Pledge, Snowpiercer, Curtis/Edgar, Explicit. Canon divergent Snowpiercer fic that builds on the world of the film into something as cruelly survival driven and even more human. The relationship in this is so sharp, and Curtis's thoughts so perfect, and the fic draws itself together into something completely inevitable.
Heart Attack Man, Heat, Vincent/Neil, Explicit. Another fic I didn't even know I'd been waiting for! It slots neatly into the world of Heat, but more than that, both Neil and Vincent get wonderful character moments, on top of a really hot sex scene that illuminates the potential nature of the relationship between them. Vincent's dialogue in particular was pitch perfect, but the whole fic is a great read.
All In, The Sting, Johnny/Henry, Mature. Two conmen trying to fool each other and themselves, it's a tale as old as The Sting, and this is a superb addition. There's all that history between them, and the author flips expectations so deftly and with such a lot of emotional impact. The tension is really well dealt with in particular, and there's some really lovely period touches especially in the dialogue.

'Tis Well to Be Bereft, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Control/Tony, Teen, as funny as the Control/Tony bits in canon, the speech patterns are perfect, the relationship is perfect, the overdone metaphors are absolutely in keeping with canon - well wroth a read.
