Yuletide recs -- batch 1 of 3
Dec. 30th, 2009 09:45 amI know it's the first batch of three because I'm reading the stories by fandom, by column. Yes, I have an obsessive-compulsive streak. I'm okay with that.
Casablanca
Sentimental Reasons (16.5K words): A long, and completely believable story about Sam and Rick's relationship, before and after the events of the movie.
Dark is Rising books, Susan Cooper
Three From the Track (2.5K words): A prequel to the series from Merriman's point of view.
Discworld
A Place Called Home (3K words): About Drumknott and his lines between home and work, and how they get blurred.
A Day in The (2K words): The first day of the rest of Death's life. With cats.
Doctor Who and Arcadia
Skasis (.5K words): A really lovely vignette of a crossover.
Doctor Who/Torchwood/Lord Peter Wimsey
No Man's Land (20K words): Captain Jack runs into Lord Peter Wimsey during World War I, except that things aren't quite as they seem.
Doctor Who/Diane Duane's Young Wizards
But Rather Darkness Visible (3K words): Dairine meets the Doctor for the second time. A sequel to "The Waters of Mars."
Child Ballads
Moments With Sweet William (1K words): A brief description of what Sweet William's life might have been like.
Fairy Tales
Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Duckling (5K words): A modern story that plays with the original story in a wonderful way.
Lord Wolfe and the Ape-Leader (32K words): A Regency spoof that has almost too much fun, but not quite.
Beauty and the Beast (and why should BatB have its own category, separate from "Fairy Tales"? I almost missed it.)
Fiddler in the Mountain (6K words): A modern retelling.
Beast of Both Worlds (2K words): A slyly humorous feminist retelling.
Faking It -- Jennifer Crusie
And to All a Goodnight (21.5K words) Christmas at the Goodnight menage, and Davy Dempsey wants to fix everyone.
Making It (5K words): Nadine decides she has to do something about Ethan, one way or another.
Fionavar Tapestry -- Guy Gavriel Kay
These were my gifts; the second one was entirely unexpected, and I didn't discover it until after Yuletide Madness opened.
Patterns (6.5K words): This one made me so very happy. I asked for a "What happens next" story, and this one answered all my questions in a totally believable way.
In Silence, Coming Home (.5K words): Dave and Kim return to our Earth.
