Browsing through the delightful
Chocolatebox 2021 archive, here are some of the stories that immediately captured me:
The Aeneid:
we are a woven thread (find the strand): in which Aeneas on the occasion of his visit to the Underworld encounters Cassandra again, in a most unexpected fashion. Beautiful and poignant.
Babylon 5
Prison of Glass: Garibaldi runs into Bester post-canon. Perfect voices for both.
Keep your enemies close: hilarious fanart for Londo/G'Kar.
Discworld:
Here There Be Dragons: how Sam Vimes and Lady Sybil kissed for the first time. Lovely and fun.
Shakespeare's Histories:
All the water in the rough rude sea: in an AU where Bolingbroke has died and Hal has become Richard's heir, this vignette imagines their relationship and comes up with terrific parallels and contrasts to canon. And with sparkling dialogue befitting two of Shakespeare's most eloquent monarchs.
