A few beginning recs for Yuletide

[gwyn]

With the caveat that I have barely even started reading Yuletide fic (still recovering from the infection, and now with bonus scary sickness from the antibiotics), these are a few things I've enjoyed so far. I'm not waiting to do a larger post because I think some of these need more eyeballs and I'm sad they haven't had many, because they deserve it. I'll definitely do more reccing later.

A Better Hand, Tombstone (Wyatt/Doc)

A nice little stuck inside alone and realizing feelings story for Wyatt and Doc.

Time and Light, The Terror (Francis/James)

Nonlinear, sort of time loopy fic where James isn't sure what's real.

Planetside, The Terror

An AU set IN SPAAACE that somehow manages to perfectly translate the series into space travel. I really enjoyed this.

oh my heart, how can I face you now?, The Terror (Francis/James)

A lovely long, slow burn set in between episodes 6 and 7 that details the realizations of James and Francis of their affections for each other.

Geoffrey Tennant and the Cursed Play, Slings & Arrows (Geoffrey/Darren Nichols)

Geoffrey trying to wrestle with a production of The Cursed Child, as well as his cousin David from Scotland, which is the most hilarious conceit I've ever come across.

So Large Against the Sky, Gifted (Movie 2017) (Frank/Bonnie)

Wonderful slow burn about Frank and Bonnie trying to find their way back to a relationship after the movie, and the road to making a family. Great Mary and Roberta here, too.

Commence!, Russian Doll

The Nadia voice in this is so utterly amazing it feels like maybe Natasha Lyonne wrote this--and the rest of the voices, and the story idea, are fantastic too.

esolang, Black Mirror (USS Callister episode)

This is a really fun look at the crew after the episode ends, learning to do new things as a team. There's definitely a lot of game and tech work stuff that went over my head, but I got most of it from context.

when you come to a fork in the road, take it, Pitch (Ginny/Mike)

Fun future fic where Ginny and Mike have a relationship and juggle successful careers long-distance from each other.

Go, give them some love!!

Aww yay, fic recs! I miss everyone's rec posts so much. This is great!

[gwyn]

Yeah, I'm kind of shit at it in that I don't read in what 90 percent of my friends do so they have marginal value at best, but I miss recs so much that I'm going to be the change I want to see. {{{hugs}}}

Yay recs, thank you! I made a first pass through the archive but then I just sort of petered out since I just haven't had time to test the things that aren't slash.. Even those, I haven't made a dent in. Must try harder when I get back from my sister's Monday. /o\

Ha ha you sneaky ninja, and one of them was yours. :-D. My biggest problem is just that what I'm interested in has almost no overlap with anyone else; I generally don't read literature fandoms with the exception of Austen fic, I'm not into anime or games or K drama/Chinese shows, etc. So I feel like they're of marginal value, but I'm trying to do recs because I miss recs.

Thanks for the recs! I'll definitely check out the Tombstone one and the Slings and Arrows one.
