gwyn | 31 flavors finale!

Woo-hoo! I managed it again, somehow--(more than) 31 recs in (more than) 31 different fandoms! Since I'm so behind in reading Yuletide, I'm kind of amazed that I was able to do it. (Some of them were crossovers, some of them were bonus recs!) So I'm celebrating by making an actual Stucky rec, even though Captain America has been mentioned in some of the previous recs because it was a crossover fandom. And I'm also going to rec another thing that was written for me because what the hell, bonuses are fun. I've mentioned both of these previously, but they both deserve another mention.

Steadfast by

Destina (Captain America, The Avengers, 2731 words, unrated)
Summary: Three snapshots from Bucky Barnes' life.

This is such a lovely little look at Bucky in different parts of his life, with all these wonderful observations and turns of phrase that are so typical of

destina's excellent writing.

Picking up the punchlines by

belmanoir (The Professionals, 3471 words, M)
Summary: Bodie likes Tommy. He does. He just…didn’t realize when he got himself stabbed that he was agreeing to serve as co-guardian-for-nurture to the principal eyewitness.

I've loved dragging

belmanoir into my forever once and future fandom during our pandemic-watching of old TV shows, and then she wrote me two fantastic Professionals stories and zing went the strings of my heart. It's been so fun to see this show through someone else's eyes again, and I love how this one captures so much of what makes Bodie and Doyle so great together even while, in this case, Bodie's fighting against it.
