A (belated) Merry Christmas from me to all who've been celebrating! I hope the end of December is treating you all well.

This Yuletide was a great one for me -- I got TWO fics that I loved, and found a lot of other stories I enjoyed, some of which I'm reccing here.

First, my wonderful gifts:

( Recs for Affinity - Sarah Waters and Les Misérables 1952 )

1) The great Victor Hugo fascination of 2013 continues -- I've been obsessively listening to the Notre-Dame de Paris musical for the last few weeks, because omg, it's so good. Just listen to this song.

I also read Claude Gueux, a short story from 1834 which foreshadows a lot of the themes of Les Misérables while contrasting it in interesting ways ( Read more... )

For those who aren't familiar with lgbtq_recs, it's a community run by the awesome magnetic_pole where people rec LGBTQ-themed media (books, movies, webpages, what have you) throughout the month of June. They are currently taking sign-ups, so do check it out if that sounds like your thing!

( In which I try to come to terms with my internalised snobbery )

Taking a break from my newest mission in life -- aka to stalk the Les Mis kink meme with Javert-like zeal -- to offer some Yuletide recs. They're admittedly late, but the stories are just as good. Do consider giving them a try!

1) Season's greetings, flist! Hope everyone who celebrates Christmas is enjoying the holiday. :-)

2) Anyone who reads Swedish should go over to AO3 and check out my two beautiful Yuletide gifts. They're both based on The Brothers Lionheart, a staple of my childhood, and while they are quite different in terms of characters and setting they both do ( Read more... )

I wrote this for the Femslash Remix event earlier this summer. It was the first time I wrote a remix, but it was fun! I went for the "remix a story into a drabble" challenge (surprise, surprise) and this is the result.
