Home again, home again
We are home from visiting my parents for the holidays! It was a good visit, but I am so glad to be home.
I got a most fantastic gift for Yuletide:
Hereafter
Haunting of Hill House
A very in-character look at what Theo does in the immediate aftermath of Eleanor's suicide. I absolutely adore that the hand Theo is holding at the end of this story is real and of someone who loves her, not the ghostly hand that Nell was holding (or Nell holding her own hand as I have seen some literary critics argue). I realized I had gone out to pinch hit a few days before the collection went live, and I am doubly impressed that my author wrote something so fine and beautiful for me in such a short amount of time. Everyone, go give this story some love.
I haven't been able to read much yet, but have some recs in other fandoms.
19th Century RPF
Adonais, Besieged
Keats/Shelley, Byron/Shelley, Byron/Keats/Shelley
Explicit
The dialogue in this is so fantastic--very sensuous and lush and how I imagine Romantic poets to talk to each other.
Annihilation (film)
Cocoon
Josie Radek/Anya Thorensen
Mature
This is lovely and brutal (like the Shimmer).
Crimson Peak
'til Death
Gen
Edith gets some closure after her trauma at Crimson Peak.
What Dreams May Come
Edith/Alan, Edith/Thomas (relationships are not the focus)
Edith helps all the spirits in the house find rest, those who want to rest anyway.
Die Hard
From the Wreckage
McClane/Farrell
Classic getting together story with Matt moving into John's place. Love it.
Christmas Harder
McClane Farrell
And another iteration of the same (and I love it, too, LOL).
Enchanted Forest Chronicles
In Which Cimorene Settles In as King's Chief Cook and Librarian, and Deals with Politics
In which Cimorene comes to realize that policy and protocol are actually useful and has the further epiphany that her mother was trying to offer her a kind of power and meaning in her life, even if the life Cimorene wanted was very different. *my heart*
Sesame Street
A Necessary Lesson
This is Sesame Street as it changes to reflect the new reality of zombies.
