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.

1. I got Christmas cards from decynthus and aurumcalendula!

2. Have another couple Yuletide recs:

1Amaat's Mercy
Imperial Radch series -- Ann Leckie
The girl Breq met on Nilt watches an audiovid with her friends. It claims to be BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

Fantastic worldbuilding + all the feels.


the footsteps of the breeze
The Odyssey
Penelope-centric

Utterly wonderful character study.


3. Now I'm off to get a crown and some fillings. Boo. Mostly I'm just annoyed that this is going to eat up a chunk of my day. *sigh*

The Gorgoneion (The Epyllionic Remix)
Medusa/Athene; Medusa/Poseidon (non-graphic non-con)
OMG, somebody freaking wrote epic poetry for Remix. Way to pull out all the stops, Anon..

Turnings (The Simple Gifts Remix)
Dark is Rising; Ellen-centric gen
This fic takes a peripheral character and turns her into something real and beautiful and complex, something more vital than Cooper's narrative could perhaps contain.

Through the Wardrobe (The Three Worlds Remix)
This is all kinds of fantastic. Of course, the Jossverse, Narnia and Dr. Who have to intersect on a ley line somewhere, right? *loves*

The Effects of Proximity: The Sleight of Hand Remix
Holmes/Watson
I know very little about asexuality, only what the denotation of the word itself implies, and so, for me, this is an astonishing and beautiful love story. Gorgeous prose. Wonderful read.

Best-Laid Plans
SG-1; Sam-centric gen
Anon Remixer makes me cry tears of Teamy Goodness and Love. These are the holidays, the way SG-1 spends them.

Fair Play
SG-1; Vala and Teal'c-centric gen
Lord do I have me an unholy love for Vala Mal Doran. [Vala] watches for a while longer. "Or he could seduce Luke Skywalker, they could run away together, and they could leave saving the galaxy to people who are actually good at it." "That opinion is not unrepresented on the Internet," Teal'c says, but he doesn't sound like it's one that he shares.

Face on a Milk Carton (the rules of the universe remix)
Farscape/Torchwood XOVER; gen
I don't watch Torchwood and even I know how awesome this is. Snappy and fun.

Dance in the Snow (The Chiana Was Here Remix)
Farscape; Gen
I love John and Chiana's relationship in canon, how she'd clearly like to be more than friends (or at least get a leg over) and he's never going to see her as anything other than a little girl he loves. Such a good Chiana character study.

Everyone in Their Places (Jumping to Conclusions Disco Hustle)
Farscape; Chiana-centric gen
What does Chiana think of Moya's crew when she first meets them? Fascinating stuff, super sharp character insights.
