Reading stuff!

1. ExpandGluten Free Cookbook )

2. I just finished Order of the Phoenix. Expandlots of thoughts )

3. Have some more Yuletide:

Deadwood

Never Call Retreat
Deadwood
Alma Garrett/Al Swearengen

If you read nothing else from the collection this year, you should read this fic. Whoever wrote it has the voices down exactly; I can hear each of the characters in my head as I read along. This is funny, and no matter what you may think of the pairing, 100% in keeping with the spirit and characterization of the show.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

Someone Else's Music
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Basil/Dorian, Henry/Dorian

Oh my, the Victorianists had such a good Yuletide this year. This fic is exquisite, lush and beautiful and grotesque and achingly, gloriously horrible--in short, all the attributes of the novel.

Trying to get as many in before reveals as possible

We Have Always Lived in the Castle

where our boundaries were thinnest
Constance/Merricat
This is long, and the voices are impeccable. I am in awe. It's very in-keeping with canon. One of the finest things in the collection this year.

Westworld

The Fortress That It Made of You
This is a Maeve-centric alternate ending to the second season--very well done. Sharp, insightful treatment of Ford, Maeve, and Dolores.

Persuasion

There's an abundance of Persuasion fics in the collection this year. I did not read the one that's a crossover or the one that's a modern AU, but judging by the kudos/comment count, they are just as fine as the other three I did read and very much enjoy.
