Yuletide Recs III
Blood Ties
Liberation: plotty, UST and other -tensions soaked story around Mike, Henry and Vicki, solving a case in the aftermath of the Father Mendoza incident. Mmmmm.
Dollhouse
For Those Rebellious: futurefic, in which Priya-Sierra and Tony-Victor are trying to figure out who they are after the Dollhouse.
It starts somewhere: Topher backstory, mixing bright, cheerful and absolutely chilling, very appropriate to the character.
Iron Man
Chaos Magic: post-Secret Invasion, just pre-World's Most Wanted, this is a great Tony Stark portrait at this point.
Momo
Several Architects: lovely, lovely Michael Ende fanfic which as much of what Ende wrote is also great meta on the art of storytelling.
Oresteia
Last Days: Clytemnestra, ruling in Argos, encounters Odysseus. Sharp and memorable.
Der Ring des Nibelungen
Das Lied von der Erde: the story of Wotan and Erda, great to read even if you're not familiar with Wagner's interpretation of Norse mythology. (BTW, the story is in English, not German, non-German speakers.)
Twin Peaks
And Devil Makes Three: absolutely awesome story about the first meeting and subsequent first case Albert Rosenfield shares with Dale Cooper. The snark, the suspense and the mixture of funny and creepy rules, and the character voices are brilliant.
And a treat for friends of Doctor Who and the Latin language:
In Pompeium: given that the family from Fires of Pompeii was from the Cambridge Latin Course, this is only fair!
