The Best
So I've done my initial read-through of the Yuletide archive and there are so many ridiculously awesome stories, and I can't wait until I have the energy to actually dig through it and read everything in the fandoms I like instead of just skimming for characters that I like. Heh. ANYWAY. Here are my recs so far, but first...
MY FIC!! The present I got this year was for Chronicles of Prydain, and I could not be more excited about it. It's just absolutely wonderful and made me tear up a little and now I have to read that series again. So here it is, and Anon, if you're reading this, THANK YOU!!! <3
The Truth of It (Chronicles of Prydain, Lloyd Alexander)
Doli, Gwystyl
Doli wouldn't say that he MISSED any of his old companions. Still, he couldn't help wondering how they were getting on.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. If you've read those books, you absolutely have to read it. And now, the rest of my recs!
The King's Hand (A Song Of Ice And Fire, George R. R. Martin)
Stannis Baratheon/Davros Seaworth
Davos Seaworth had been the King's Hand since long before either of them had held the title.
The True Death of Frank Gardiner (Cthulhu Mythos, H.P. Lovecraft)
Original Characters
I have seen things under the water that no laughing sailor's tale, no matter how gruesome or exaggerated, could ever fathom. And the most fearful thing I have ever seen is the death of Frank Gardiner.
Changing Places (Dollhouse)
Adelle DeWitt, Topher Brink, Priya Tsetsang
Whatever false memories she's been imprinted with, Priya still wants to do the right thing.
He of the House (Hellboy (comic))
Hellboy, Kate Corrigan
Kate and Hellboy investigate the disappearance of a young boy that is more than what it seems.
Staged (Metalocalypse)
Nathan Explosion/Charles Ofdensen
Nathan copes with Charles' departure in stages; Charles contemplates his next move.
The Master Cat (Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman)
Marquis de Carabas
It was entirely the cat's doing and that's one thing the Marquis would never stop believing.
Headstone (Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman)
Hunter/Serpentine
Many people have fallen through the cracks - only one became Hunter.
Like I said, there aren't that many just yet, but these are all super awesome and you guys should read and comment. <3
