quick and dirty yuletide recs
Dec. 25th, 2018 11:29 pm I have approximately 4000 tabs open of yuletide fics I'm going to work through but I wanted to post some early recs if people are looking for links!
I got three absolutely amazing gifts, and I managed to finish one not-a-gift-for-me fic that I loved so
My gifts
we'll make a brand new start of it (in old new york) (Worth It) *siren emoji* This is not a drill!! Steven/Andrew fake dating!! This was so sweet and funny, and had so much of Andrew and Steven's great banter. Andrew has a few lines that feel absolutely pitch perfect for him, that sly sarcastic sweet humour. and their fondness for each other just SHINES THROUGH. Also it works food and food themes through the fic (in a good way! in a way that makes sense and is emotionally great!) and then the sex is perfect and very them. I loved this.
russian roulette croquembouche (Worth It) Andrew/Steven getting together fic set during the holiday special! featuring Annie and Adam being THE BEST and Rie being PERFECT PERFECT!! Andrew's fondness and pining for steven just bursts from the page, and them having their friends with them is so lovely, and each moment of this is *chef kiss*
so tied together (A Matter of Oaths) This made me want to immediately scurry off and reread the book, which, tbh, there is no higher praise. It's future fic where Rallya reveals the "twist" from the end of the book to Rafe, and then his reaction and discussing it with Joshim. Rallya is pitch perfect - smart, scheming, stubborn, really really funny, and the Rafe/Joshim is really heartbreakingly lovely. Read this!!
Not my gift:
like real people do (Colorado Avalance/ Hockey RPF) This is a mythology/demigods au where Tyson feels he is being called back to the sea, and Gabe is a norse demigod and there's pining, and lots of hilarious little details, like Mikko the wolfperson, and Josty being human and needing protecting, and Nate the human with a little twist at the end (the twist is great I won't give it away!). Give this a try if you like mythology AUs, you don't need any canon and it's really fun.
I'm gonna make a longer yuletide rec list once I've worked through the Tabs of Doom, and I think I'll do a post with a few of my old yuletide favorites, if I can find enough of them. Hope yuletide / itpe / the holidays / tuesday were good to you!
