This week\u2019s Friday Five comes to us from atcDave, Chuck<\/strong> fanfiction guru and all around nice guy. You can usually find him hanging out at Chuck This Blog<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

For those more cynical sorts, who suspect this Friday Five is just an excuse for Dave to recommend five more Charah stories, well duh. \u00a0But I have chosen five stories that are a little more of an adventure. \u00a0I know not every Chuckster is a total \u2018shipper; so that\u2019s not a problem! \u00a0There\u2019s plenty of fun to be had with these characters. \u00a0This time I\u2019ll look at five that put the adventure front and center.<\/p>\n

\n
1. <\/b>Sarah vs The Long Flight<\/b><\/a> by Go-Chuck-Go. This is a very early story, started before Season One had even ended. \u00a0It actually has a separate prelude story that maybe isn\u2019t quite as inspired; but the essential background would be, after Chuck overhears Casey and Sarah <\/i>get the order to kill him, he drugs Sarah and runs off grid. \u00a0The story picks up with Sarah awakening from her unintended slumber more determined than ever to protect Chuck from a less than appreciative government. \u00a0But first, she has to find him, and convince him she means no harm. \u00a0I think only a very early story can work with this sort of set up, and this one works extremely well. \u00a0Sarah\u2019s Long Flight is one of the very earliest of the really great Chuck stories.<\/li>\n
2. Chuck vs The Frontier<\/a><\/b> by NinjaVanish. This is a complete alternate. \u00a0Chuck is a watchmaker in the 19th Century. \u00a0It is still spy-fi and sci-fi. Really wild Jules Verne like sci-fi. \u00a0And if the role reversal that lies at the heart of the Chuck\/Sarah relationship was amusing on the show, it is doubly so at this early date. \u00a0Many favorite characters show up in different, yet oddly similar sorts of parts. The Intersect itself gets a fascinating and appropriate sort of rework. And NinjaVanish just excels at fast paced action\/adventure sort of writing, so this story is a blast from beginning to end.<\/li>\n
3. <\/b>Chuck vs a Normal Life<\/b><\/a> and Chuck vs the Decision<\/b><\/a> by Timewalker05. \u00a0This is two parts of the same story. \u00a0Set mid-Season Two, Chuck is seriously injured on a mission. The first part is both dramatic and humorous as Chuck struggles with reality and his own survival; while the second part involves more of a mystery and investigation as Chuck and Sarah try to do right, and right by each other. \u00a0This is a very appealing story of our heroes fighting to be together in spite of serious challenges from several sources.<\/li>\n
4. <\/b>Walker’s Eleven<\/b><\/a> by Moonlight Pilot (Frea O\u2019Scanlin). This is a different world where Sarah never became a government agent. \u00a0So this tells the story of a veteran con artist trying to pull one last job. \u00a0But when she is betrayed by her crew and left to face arrest she turns to a particular nerd for help. \u00a0This is loaded with lies, betrayal, adventure, romance… \u00a0\u00a0and Jeffster<\/i>.<\/li>\n
5. <\/b>Chuck vs The Time Warp<\/b><\/a> by CostasTT. \u00a0How many classic World War II movie plots can you count? \u00a0That is a fun game to play while reading this wild mash-up. \u00a0This story sets the whole crew back in World War II to launch a secret mission into Nazi Germany. \u00a0Costas style always involves high adventure and low angst, and this is the very first example of his signature style.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   5.5. <\/b>Save You Later<\/a> by mia2009. \u00a0Okay, I really can\u2019t play by the rules. \u00a0There is just too much good stuff to choose from. \u00a0This story starts way back at the end of Season One. \u00a0Chuck is flown off to a secure government facility after his cover is blown. \u00a0But Sarah promised to protect him. \u00a0And Sarah takes her promises seriously. Of course it\u2019s a little more involved than that. \u00a0But this is a fun adventure as Sarah sets off first to rescue Chuck, then keep him safe off the grid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
