Yuletide Reveals
First, 
smilebackwards, thank you for the card and craftworks! ♥
For Yuletide, I was lucky enough to get two awesome fics in two different theatrey fandoms.
Ten (or Twelve) Plays in the Life of Geoffrey Tennant (8050 words) by Sage
Fandom: Slings & Arrows
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ellen Fanshaw/Geoffrey Tennant, Geoffrey Tennant/Oliver Welles, Geoffrey Tennant & Oliver Welles, Darren Nichols/Geoffrey Tennant
Characters: Geoffrey Tennant, Oliver Welles, Ellen Fanshaw, Darren Nichols, Original Characters
Additional Tags: Theatre, Backstory, Pre-Canon, Post-Canon, Shakespeare, Drunk Sex, Spoilers, Yuletide, Yuletide 2013, Don't Have to Know Canon
Summary: Ten (or twelve) plays, approximately, in the life of one Geoffrey Tennant. And attendant drama.
This is basically the story of Geoffrey Tennant, New Burbage, and how the productions he was a part of there shaped everything that came after. Also of Geoffrey and Oliver, Geoffrey and Ellen, Geoffrey and Darren, and Geoffrey and Directing. I love alll the things about it, but should give special note to all the particular theatre details up to and including how much Geoffrey falls in love with the idiosyncratic theatre he's exploring in the first scene, because theatre spaces get to you that way. And the ending, because that's what I wanted from the show.
The Problem of Frank Shepard (1685 words) by raedbard
Fandom: Merrily We Roll Along - Sondheim/Furth
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Franklin Shepard, Charley Kringas, Mary Flynn
Additional Tags: Writing about writing, Yuletide, Friendship
Summary: The play that won Charley Kringas the Pulitzer was meant to be an exercise in cathartic release. But it hasn't really worked out that way.
This was a less than covert Yuletide treat, but no less beloved for it ;) This is Charley and Mary, still trying to get over Frank Sheppard, and failing in their separate ways. Charley analyses himself because his therapist is a jerk; Mary is better than everyone (especially Frank) and drinks too much because she can't give up on them; nobody can write a happy ending but maybe they could have written a hopeful one. And it's the aftermath of one of my favourite musicals, written by one of my favourite people ♥
I wrote two things:
Not Measured in Minutes (5549 words) by BlackEyedGirl for Calliotrope
Fandom: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: William Brandt/Benji Dunn
Characters: Benji Dunn, William Brandt
Additional Tags: Canon-Typical Violence, Rescue, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Anxiety, Snark, Team Dynamics, Slow Burn, Missions, Post-Movie(s)
Summary: Benji is not an analyst, but he is doing his best to make sense of Brandt all the same.
AN: Betaed by jamjar and Signe, for whom I give all thanks.
For some reason, this fic would not come easily. I suspect giving me free rein is a bad idea. This is actually, in a lot of ways, the story I wanted to write immediately after I saw the film, in that it's primarily about Brandt fitting in with a team and finding his way back from a particularly messed-up type of trauma. Also about coping mechanisms not being a bad thing and the people who love us not running roughshod over them. Whether it also succeeds as a romance, I'm not sure :S
We'll Strive to Please You Every Day (2741 words) by BlackEyedGirl for thelittlestbird
Fandom: Slings & Arrows
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Anna Conroy, Geoffrey Tennant
Additional Tags: Friendship, Post-Series
Summary: One of Anna’s duties, as manager of Theatre Sans Argent, is occasionally getting Geoffrey to do things he does not want to do. This is why they have a deal.
AN: I saw this prompt late-ish and knew I wanted to write a treat if I could, because the request was basically for a show-type Shakespeare moment and something happy for Anna, which felt in my wheelhouse :) Also Twelfth Night, which is my favourite.
