Fic Rec: Yuletide

[escritoireazul]

The last of the presents have been wrapped, the house has been cleaned, and all that's left is for J to do the cooking (which is, at most, setting out meat trays and making dips). I'm waiting on my turn in the shower, so here are a few more Yuletide recs.

Fandom: Secret Garden - Burnett

Brave Blooms
Summary: Winter comes to Misselthwaite Manor and brings changes and choices with it.

This is heart stoppingly lovely, at times aching and sweet and funny. I love Dickon, so steady and solid, shown against Mary and Colin and the way their world will change.

Nest Building
Summary: The Secret Garden has been unlocked for two years. Things are changing at Misselthwaite Manor, but some things remain constant.

This is a lovely, sweet story about Mary and Dickon that made my heart squeeze.

Fandom: Anastasia (1997)

faded from the winter
Summary: There is a girl behind the curtains, sitting curled up on the windowsill, elbow pressed against the glass. Anya and Dimitri, pre-movie.

Lovely, lovely story about Anya and Dimitri meeting as children.

Fandom: Calvin & Hobbes

The Social Contract (Boys and Tigers Remix) (Yuletide Madness)
Summary: Calvin, Hobbes, and various battles lost and won.

Funny, sweet story about tigers and boys.

Fandom: Pitch Black

Hero Worship (Yuletide Madness)

A short, sharp little snapshot of Jack and her fears and the way she worships Riddick.
