Christmas Recs
Some seasonal fic for the holidays. A few Smallville and one Supernatural.
It Came Just the Same by Lanning Cook, aka lanning
Fandom: Smallville
Rating: None given, probably about PG (slash)
Author’s Summary: None
Why you should read it: From the Identical series. Clark has become too old for a certain book for his parent to read it to him. Naturally he requests that Lex step in. Hilarious, but also very sweet and even moving in parts. My heart grew three sizes, if that counts.
Lex muttered something that Clark was certain was obscene, and picked up the book. "'Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot...'"
He paused. "I want it understood that I comply under protest."
"So noted." Clark grinned and draped his arm around Lex's shoulders.
Lex sighed and continued, leaning almost imperceptibly into Clark's embrace. "'But the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.'"
"Maybe he had a philosophical objection to sentimentality," Clark suggested.
The Sink That Ate Christmas by toomuchplor
Fandom: Smallville
Rating: PG (slash)
Author’s Summary: Five years after the end of Omiai, Clark and Lex host their first Christmas in their new house.
Why you should read it: Clark has a cooking-stress related BDA moment during he and Lex's Perfect Christmas Dinner with the Kents. The repeated mystified reaction to this BDA moment is hysterical. XD
Chlara Advent Stories by tobiwolf13
Fandom: Smallville
Rating: None given, varies from story to story (femmeslash)
Author’s Summary: Chloe introduces Kara to Christmas traditions.
Why you should read it: Featuring not one, not two, but fifteen tales of heart warming Christmas femmeslash. A taste from Gingerbread:
Making her way back to the counter, Chloe took the spoon from Kara and started adding a little extra snowy coating to Rudolph. (Yes, reindeer did visit crap factories.) "Trust me, Clark, she knows exactly what she's doing." And she couldn't, for the life of her, stop herself from blushing.
Kara grinned. "Like it's so hard to smear stuff on gingercake."
God Bless Us, Every One by Fay aka pandarus
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: PG, Crackfic, Slash, Humour
Author’s Summary: in which the Winchesters celebrate Christmas
Why you should read it: This is from The Ones About John Gabriel Winchester, the Wee Messiah, and his two Dads, so it's criminally cute. Featuring frantically-getting-into-the-season!Dean, confused!Castiel, Santa!Bobby, proud uncle!Sam, a poor kindergarten teacher trying to put on a nativity play and, of course, John Gabriel Winchester the Wee Messiah, in a very method-cast role. What could possibly go wrong?
