Yuletide Delights
First of all, the stories written for Meeeee! I got two Dying Gaul stories, very different from each other, and both very fine indeed:
Days That Are No More (2040 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: The Dying Gaul
Rating: Mature
Warning: Major Character Death
Characters: Anyon, Carnon
Summary: The thoughts of a dying Gaul.
--This tale brings the time beautifully to life, and oh, it made me cry, in the best way. Especially the end.
The Dying Gaul (1287 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Highlander, Dying Gaul (Sculpture)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death
Characters: Methos, The Gaul (Dying Gaul), The Sculptor (Dying Gaul)
Summary: Methos meets an old friend.
--Highlander crossover!
In no particular order, here are 8 stories I have read that I must Share:
A Piece of the Continent (13987 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Hainish Cycle - Ursula K. Le Guin
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Genly Ai
Summary: Where Genly Ai went, after Winter. [Major spoilers for the end of The Left Hand of Darkness.]
Bookmarker's Tags: Might as well be canon, world-building, Grief, Language
--This is astonishing, and rightly recced multiple times
Mon Couer Ne Changera, or The Missing Heir (2309 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Hilary Tamar Mysteries - Sarah Caudwell, Lost Prince - Frances Hodgson Burnett
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Michael Cantrip/Julia Larwood/Desmond Ragwort
Characters: Michael Cantrip, Julia Larwood, Desmond Ragwort, Hilary Tamar, Selena Jardine, Jem Ratcliffe
Summary: While researching a missing heir, something else comes to light at 62 New Square.
--The title is not a fluke. There is, indeed Lymond-meta in this tale. Which means the author succeeded in putting *all three* of Lionpyh's requested fandoms in one tale, absolutely wonderfully.
experimental procedure (2103 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Alliance-Union - C. J. Cherryh
Rating: Mature
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Ariane Emory II, Justin Warrick, Grant ALX-972, Florian AF-9979 II, Catlin AC-7892 II, Ariane Emory I
Summary: Ari hasn't thought of the right way to watch that tape. Yet.
--Another might as well be canon piece. Spot-on Ari-voice, and a very interesting examination of one of the core moral/ethical issues of the culture.
Parent-Teacher Conference (2482 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Coldfire Trilogy - C. S. Friedman
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Damien Vryce, Gerald Tarrant (Coldfire), Jenseny Kierstaad
Summary: Raising teenagers is difficult enough. Raising one who's a step ahead of everyone else as far as evolution is concerned is another matter altogether.
--Amusingly plausible, given the premise.
Daydreams and Flower Wreaths (6066 words) by Anonymous
