Yuletide.
Wow. Where do I start? This year I got three treats plus the fic from the writer that was assigned to me. In three fandoms. And in two of the fandoms the gifts for me are the only things written for those fandoms.
They're all absolutely fantastic.
I'm going to start with Dear Vienna. It's a Guilty Gear fic, and it's Ky/Johnny. It's so much unresolved sexual tension and about found families and doing what's right versus what's legal and it's beautiful and gorgeous and I simply want to hug it as close as I can. I just...Johnny's lines make me smile and I ache for it to be resolved but I also like a lot that it isn't, and the way that it isn't feels so right. And I adore Dizzy's role in the fic.
And then I also got The Elephant in the Room. Which is Swordspoint, Alec/Richard, and Richard's going blind and pushing Alec away and it hurts so much that it's beautiful. And the last line is wonderful and painful and aldfjal. I love Alec and Richard precisely because they're so bad at making things work out for them.
And then madness. I somehow got two more fics. I don't even know, but they're both gorgeous.
A Giddy Thing is Girls With Slingshots (the webcomic) and Jamie/Erin and so very very wonderful. Jamie has to investigate missing coffee and it's funny and adorable and perfect for them.
And then there is no losing game, which is Swordspoint again. I say again, but really it's more like Swordspoint always, since it's a tour of all the ways Alec and Richard could be them if they were elsewhere and elsewhen. It just...does such a good job showing why these two will always be my OTP.
