Yuletide!

Merry Christmas to all those celebrating! Happy Movies Day to everyone else. ;-)

Time to thank/recognize my gift fics:

Captive Monsters actually went up a few days ago. It's a Weiss Kreuz AU by daegaer, and is just as awesome as all her fics (and uses a very clever conceit).

Understanding is a lovely drabble with Yohji and Omi by vr2lbast.

And then Yuletide! I still don't have my notification email, but realized I could find my fic if I looked under "My Gifts." I landed on the pinch hit list and for the first time got two stories, and they're both great!

boring is a relative state of mind is American Horror Story fic, set after the conclusion of the first season. It features Violet, one of my favorite characters from canon (and maybe the only sensible one), and does a great job of looking at her mental state after everything she's been through. I was a bit worried about getting fic in this fandom after all the twists and turns canon took, but this is just perfect. ♥ EDIT: Also this was a late addition to the pinch hit list and you totally can't tell, it's beautifully constructed.

A Practical Method of Italian Singing is a treat, and what a treat! It features the two ladies who basically run off together towards the end of The Count of Monte Cristo. (You can read this one without knowing the canon but then it's a bit spoilery.) It's so clever, and there's music theory and historical context and it's pretty perfect too. ♥

Thanks to everyone who wrote for me!

Okay I absolutely had to click on the Count of Monte Cristo one and aaahhhhh. That was so perfect.

I KNOOOOW. I mean, I loved the other one too but the Monte Cristo one was such an unexpected delight (and there are like ten of us watching AHS, lol).

It really really was, I'm just leaving it open to read again later because it's so wonderfully crafted and true to character and yes. It's fantastic.

A lot of people I know are watching AHS, actually! It intrigues me, I just haven't tracked it down yet.

AHS was so terrible but it was kind of fun. A little too much sexual assault for my taste but the characters were fun. Tate would be hilarious in an RP that didn't take itself too seriously.
