2024 Yuletide
Jan. 14th, 2025 07:29 pmI have Yuletide recs! First and foremost this wonderful _Sorceress Comes to Call_ story that was written for meeee and is exactly what I wanted, yay! Post-canon and won't make sense if you haven't read the book.
The 12 Days By Any Other Name, wanderlustlover, 2k, Cordelia and life after.
Other recs:
Contain and Contained, partypaprika, Tortall, Alanna/Delia, 17k. This is not a pairing I ever would have thought of but I liked how it unfolded here.
made expressly for you, surgicalstainless, Saint of Steel, paladin shenanigans, 3k.
the way we touch (i wish i didn't like it so much, whatiwouldnotgive, Real Genius, Jordan femslash, 8k. Another pairing I never would have thought of but sure, Jordan should totally get a femslash ship.
just my job five days a week, Artifactrix, The Martian, Mark Watney back on Earth, 2k. A fun little post-canon postscript.
If our two loves be one, phoenixflight, Lord Peter Wimsey, Peter/Harriet and Peter/Bunter, 10k. Polyamory negotiations. Really well done.
Jeeves and the Birdcatcher's Costume, WyvernQuill, Jeeves/Wooster, 11k. Masquerade shenanigans.
Two really good Wrinkle In Time stories:
charles wallace murry vs the middle school time loop, TheBigCat, Charles Wallace in middle school, 12k.
known now in part, to be known in full, raspberryhunter, 7k. Meg from the canon timeline meets a Meg who focused on her career.
Portland, later on, Melannen, 1/0, post-canon, 3k. Tbh I hardly remember most of 1/0 but this was funny and meta and it was nice to see everyone doing well.
Two Warm Hands of Ghosts stories: Better in the dark, regshoe, 2k and That Would Make a Sick Heart Heal, regshoe, 9k, both the Laura/Pim I wanted to see in the world.
home at the end of the day, betony, Queen's Thief, 1k, name-on-wrist soulmarks.
someone will remember us, harborshore, Queen's Thief, 1k, poetry, theater and scholarship from an alternate universe where the Queen's Thief world is somewhere in our past.
(Apparently this was the last year for Queen's Thief being Yuletide-eligible. I was always intimidated by the idea of writing it; I can't remember now if I ever offered it and just matched elsewhere, or if I always chickened out of even offering it. It's weird to think of Yuletide without Queen's Thief, that's such a staple. And there was no Anne of Green Gables this year - maybe that Anne with an E TV show pushed it over the size limit?... no Young Wizards, although for that one it was nominated and there were requests and offers, I guess everyone just ended up writing something else. Jeeves may be sizing out. I guess Vorkosigans went out a couple of years ago, and this is all natural. Just weird.)
And finally here's what I wrote this year:
Vermutun and Versuch, To Shape a Dragon's Breath, 4k, in which Anequs reads an essay and thinks a bunch about chemistry.
The 12 Days By Any Other Name, wanderlustlover, 2k, Cordelia and life after.
