don we now our gay apparel (yuletide recs, set 1)
Except for one (Travel Documents), all of these previously appeared in my LJ.
Recs from yuletide:
The Simpsons
The Ballad of Lenny and Carl by Kyra Cullinan
It's Lenny/Carl and it's sweet and poignant and funny and the character voices are dead on.
Peanuts
Every Good Girl Does Fine by kissmeagain
Perfectly Peppermint Patty. And Marcie, too.
Lucifer
Come What May by Catrinella
Excellent look at how Mazikeen can never really escape the tension between love and duty, her loyalty to Lucifer v. her loyalty to the Lilim, even when she's meant to be having a tender interlude with Lucifer rather than a conference of war.
Winnie the Pooh
In Which A New Child Comes To The Forest by loligo
Lovely - Christopher Robin is grown and brings his son to the Hundred Acre Wood.
Fables
Rewrites and Revisions by Sophia Prester
I love how this, much like the source text itself, plays with the narrative conventions of fairytales and stories, and I really like this characterization of Snow.
Calvin & Hobbes
Transmogrification by hyperfocused
While I'm not sold on the epilogue, the rest of this fic is pure brilliance - Calvin (and Hobbes) as he grows up, bored and attitudinal, and then brilliant and freaky. Very cool
