You guys, I got THREE (3) full-length Ron/April Parks & Recreation fics for Yuletide! THREE AMAZING TROPE FICS JUST LIKE I ASKED FOR!! What Christmas miracle is this?? By far my most amazing yuletide ever, gift-wise, and SO UNEXPECTED, I was completely freaking out. ALSO, dear flist, I am giving all of you the side-eye, because my requests did not go out on the pinch hit list and I didn't link my letter in the Yuletide letter post until, like, the night before, SO. I KNOW TWO OF YOU AWESOME PEOPLE MUST BE THE CULPRITS. I HAVE HEARTS IN MY EYES FOR WHOEVER YOU ARE.
Man, I was even more excited too because I wanted Ron/April SO BADLY, the most out of all of my requests, and I thought that no one would ever want to write it because it's such a weird pairing, but apparently that pairing is a powderkeg just waiting to happen? Because ahaha, between me and
tearupthesky, who both requested it, there are FOUR Ron/April stories in Yuletide, which is a full half of the Parks stories posted. You're welcome, fandom. You're welcome.
Anyway, you should go read them, they are so fantastic!
Howling From The Vaults: This is one where Ron and April rock FIVE cliches -- telepathy! bachelor auction! zombies! A Groundhogs Day AU that I wish was novel length, it's so amazing! Super hilarious and super in character and I am in loooooooooooove.
PLUS TWO BONUS FICS:
Working to Get Fired: Derek breaks up with April and Ron sees her crying and in revenge she signs him up to go to the Pawnee Mayor's Gala at $175 a ticket with two vegetarian kosher meals. He makes her go with him as her punishment. LOLS FOR DAYS. Fancy ball! Awesome and in character! I WISH THIS FIC WENT ON FOREVER.
She Thinks She's the Dispassionate One: That's right, I got not one, but TWO Government Ball fics!!! WHAT BRAVE NEW WORLD THAT HAS SUCH FANFICTION IN IT. The April voice in this one is fantastic, all detached and awesome, and there is sexy sexy sex and great Ron and it's just awesome all around.
(And if you're into Ron/April at all, you should also read the other one in yuletide,
Ron and April and Zombies, which is just what it says on the tin and is SO FANTASTIC. Super in character and funny and let's face it, in a zombie apocalypse you would want Ron Swanson on your side. He and Dwight Schrute have got to be, like, the top two apocalypse-ready characters on television.)
And I hope everyone who celebrates it had a great Christmas -- I had a really amazing one with my family, even though I'm super exhausted now from all the stuff we did, haha. Rockstar!bro and his girlfriend were only here a day and a half, so that time was JAM-PACKED and I'm lucky I even managed to read these fics. I'm excited to finally be able to collapse and hit the rest of the archive!
