Four fic recs: 1 Wicked, 2 Agents of SHIELD, 1 Jane Austen's Emma...
Bridges You Didn't Know You'd Crossed - Wicked - Schwarts/Holzman, Fiyero/Elphaba, Elphaba & Glinda
Around the time that Glinda first hears Elphaba's song sung around the palace, she starts having dreams of Elphaba.
I asked for fluffy Glinda&Elphaba friendship. This is slightly bittersweet and yet also beautiful in the lingering friendship between Glinda and Elphaba after the events of the musical. It is so much better than my request.
Story Gets Bigger Every Year - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - Melinda May, Maria Hill
"The cavalry's arrived."
This is both love and ouchies. Melinda May, how she got her nickname, her interactions with various people - mostly Maria Hill - and
澳門人 - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - Melinda May, Skye
Skye tries to pigeonhole Melinda; she's not really getting it, though.
A neat little look into racial identity - and people's reactions to it.
The Niece At Her Knee Is Enough - Emma (Jane Austen) - Emma/Knightley
At the Christmas party at Hartfield, Mr. Knightley stumbles onto the subject of children--a subject he has not yet discussed with Emma.
An interesting and different look at one of the aspects of life-after-marriage in a time period where contraceptive options are limited, and a woman's desire to have or not have children isn't even vaguely part of the question.
There are going to be more - lots more. I seem to have a thing for Yuletide fic this year - so many fics!
As it is, I'm debating about reading/kudosing/commenting on the PR Secret Santa fics other than the one gifted to me since I organised it. Although it might be a bit late for that since I've already read through a couple of the pairings I like...
