A little batch of Chocolate Box goodies!
I didn't get around to doing any Chocolate Box exchange squee or recs when the collection went live, but here, shortly before reveals, let me at least get in a quick post to share my two lovely gift fics!
Exploding Kittens and Other Shuos Shenanigans (496 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Machineries of Empire Series - Yoon Ha Lee
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Vauhan Mikodez & Zehun
Characters: Zehun (Machineries of Empire), Vauhan Mikodez
Additional Tags: Cats
Summary: A working relationship in five snapshots, with kittens.
Mikodez and Zehun! Cats! Zehun managing Mikodez and managing cats! It's utterly delightful. (Also, don't worry, no kittens were harmed. That we know of.)
The Temporary Delay (1447 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: We Fix Space Junk
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Samantha Trapp/Kilner
Characters: Samantha Trapp, Kilner (WFSJ)
Additional Tags: Huddling For Warmth, Pining
Summary: When an unexpected snowfall traps Samantha and Kilner planet-side after a job, Samantha deals poorly with the lack of proper heating. Kilner tries to help.
OMG, look, there is We Fix Space Junk fic! I don't remember if I've squeed about this podcast properly, but basically it's a sci-fi humour podcast of two female repairers under evil space capitalism and very delightful. Anyway, not only is this a lovely fic with a canon-appropriate weird deadly planet, but it also gives us some Kilner/Samantha feels (Samantha's POV) and huddling for warmth. Am very happy. This makes me all the more determined to write some fics for the podcast myself, because it deserves to be ficced.
And here are a couple of other recs from the collection:
squishable (0 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Wayfarers Series - Becky Chambers
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Rosemary Harper/Sissix Seshkethet
Additional Tags: Fanart, Interspecies Romance
Summary: For all the potential pitfalls, mammals make for marvelously cuddly girlfriends!
An utterly adorable piece of Rosemary/Sissix fan art with cuddles! I love the way the artist draws both characters, and also the way the piece gets in the feel of both space and The Wayfarer while focusing on the characters.
Winding Down (453 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Moonbase Theta Out (Podcast)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Nessa Cheong & Wilder (Moonbase Theta Out)
Characters: Wilder (Moonbase Theta Out), Nessa Cheong
Summary: Wilder visits Nessa in the garden in the waning days of base shutdown.
There's more fic in this fandom! Yaaay! It's a lovely little vignette with Wilder and Nessa being very much themselves, there's gardening and tardigrades, and a bittersweet note to end with.
There are still fanworks I haven't viewed in fandoms that I like, but thought I'd get in the recs I wanted to make at this point, since the author reveals will probably happen today and it's always nice to get some sharing in during the anon period.
