Moths by Ouida
At Last to That Celestial Thought
Nadine/Fuschia
Space AU
This is my gift, and it is glorious. Whoever wrote this, and I have my suspicions :D, does a marvelous job of translating Nadine, Fuschia, and Corrèze into this new setting. Excellent world-building and excellent piece of speculative fiction that demonstrates a deep love of the source material. When I first nominated Moths for Yuletide, I never thought I'd get anyone to even read the book, much less write fic for it, much less write fic for it multiple years in a row. I am so happy this Christmas morning. <3
Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake
Mutually Assured
Vampire World Princess Bubblegum/Vampire World Marceline
More of a hopeful ending than what the show gave us for these two.
Greek Mythology
Palímpsēstos
Cassandra/Clytemnestra
Metatextual, nonlinear, gorgeous prose.
Fairytales
Time is a space and space is a time
Bluebeard
A much more satisfying ending for this fairytale.
Dusty Hands From Graves Forgotten
Beauty and the Beast
I'm not familiar with the version of B&tB on which this fic is based, but wow. This has many of the beats I'm familiar with from Perrault, Grimm, and Disney but also elements that make this story fresh and surprising. Gorgeous prose.
Bob's Burgers
Ice Cream Party At My House Please Come Over
Louise-centric gen
Pitch-perfect dialogue and very much the sort of hijinks I could see happening on the show.
