Yuletide gifts for me!
This Yuletide I got incredibly lucky - I've received three marvellous stories.
The first one, Postseason, Offseason, Wabbit Season, is for the New Era baseball commercials and it perfectly captures the tone of the source. It has a lot of kooky shenanigans, Alec and John ganging up on other people (Jon Hamm!) and creative insults (I can’t wait until we club you harbor-dwelling degenerates into the ground). You also learn that everything can become a baseball-related metaphor (So in your world, adjectives are the overpaid, rapidly deteriorating words that needlessly overexert themselves? and a swords-and-sandals type picture. (...) Two fierce clans battling for total domination of a small but important land. On one side, glorious tradition. Strength. Fierceness but with a sophisticated polish. On the other: drunken mouthbreathers who rose from a bog and use brute force to achieve the very simplest of tasks). Also, last but not least, it's chock-full of hilarious cameos.
The two remaining stories are both in The Avengers fandom. Pigeonville, USA is an incredible story about Steve Rogers running for President and Phil Coulson being as amazing at wrangling politicos and journalists as he is at everything else, Darcy Lewis being the best minion one could wish for (and also graduating from the tasers to cattle prods) and Hello Kitty and Tony Stark being the twin banes of Coulson's existence. Also, Victor van Doom as a write-in presidential candidate. Super(hero)nanny is a slice-of-life ficlet about the impossibility of nights off when you have Coulson's job.
Thank you wonderful still-anon authors for the brilliant gifts! ♥
