I always hate that I'm traveling for Christmas, so I never have the chance to just sit down and mainline the archive like I want to. Have some recs, post-reveal. I still have several fandoms I've got bookmarked to read, such as Discworld and Star Trek DS9, so expect a rec set from that reading at some point in the future. :)

Catch a Falling Star by Lizzen
Aliens franchise; Ripley/Hicks
I love the nod to Prometheus, and I love that Newt and Hicks survive. Gorgeous story.

give me the honor (give me a name) by Ideal_Girl
Adventure Time; Jake and Baby Snaps
This fic sounds just like the show--the exact mix of silly and poignant.

Women Who Run with Whywolves by Gloss
Adventure Time; Fionna-centric
Gloss has the voices down perfectly here. Fionna and Cake are a joy in her hands.

Some Unexpected Properties of Wood by Fahye
Brave; Elinor and Merida
As the eldest Merida had borne the brunt of her protectiveness, too; nobody had told Elinor that along with children came the knowledge that you would tear holes in anyone or anything who tried to hurt them, and for years this knowledge had felt too large for her, almost its own creature. The only time it had fitted perfectly beneath her skin was here, in this ancient space, when Mor'du was trying to kill her daughter and Elinor's skin had been everything that the wild and instinctual rush of defense demanded: larger, stronger, with claws attached. Knowing that you would tear holes was one thing. Actually being able to do it was something else entirely, a furious and prideful exultation that filled your heart and your mouth like the taste of blood.

Thirst by Lorax
Cabin in the Woods
What an unexpected and awesome take on this fandom. Have the story of the unicorn, everyone.

so long to the headstrong by Spock
Chronicle; Andrew/Matt/Steve
The perfect kind of fix-it-fic that gives these guys the happy ending I was rooting for in the movie (but with doing it!). A nice long read.

The Very Secret Diaries of Augustine by Jay Tryfanstone
Augustine tweets his way through the years. Hilarious.

Deal by Starrrz
Devil Went Down to Georgia--song
I giggled my way through this whole fic. What a fantastic take on the song. Poor Devil. *pets him*

To Boldly Go by likeadeuce
Mad Men; Sally Draper-centric gen
I didn't watch much of Mad Men and so cannot comment on the context in which this fic is occuring, but I love the idea of Sally Draper as a nascent Trekkie. Best line of the fic:
Kirk was his friend – Kirk kept saying it like that; "Spock, I'm your friend"

Unbound by lonelywalker
Prometheus; David/Elizabeth
Nice character study of David set in alternating vignettes that occur on the Prometheus and then on the Engineers' ship after he and Elizabeth escape.

For I Have Put Away Childish Things by Medie
Promethus
This David-centric gen is a lovely exploration of David's sentience.
