Yuletide gifts
I had a lovely day yesterday (am v tired now!) - and also had two amazing stories when ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
yuletide went live:
Bestride the Narrow World (2502 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Welcome to Our Village Please Invade Carefully (BBC Radio)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Katrina Lyons & Lucy Alexander
Characters: Katrina Lyons, Lucy Alexander, Uljabaan, Richard Lyons, Margaret Lyons
Additional Tags: book clubs, References to Shakespeare, alien invasions
Summary: Roped into leading a book club for the Geosin minions, Katrina finds her literary choices intersecting with life in the Cresdon Green Resistance.
Somebody wrote me WtOVPIC! I grinned a lot throughout. It's absolutely pitch perfect in every way and therefore delightful - what more could I ask for?
Oh, and except for also this:
Don't Get Attached (10172 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sapphire and Steel
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Silver & Ruby (S&S), Sapphire/Silver/Steel (background)
Characters: Silver (S&S), Ruby (S&S), Sapphire (S&S), Steel (S&S), Original Character
Additional Tags: Yuletide 2021, Illnesses, Implied/Referenced Child Death, Elemental Weirdness, Domesticity, Existential Dread, Ambiguous/Open Ending
Summary: Really, when it comes down to it, isn't an accurate enough simulation just as good as the real thing?
In which Ruby steals a human – and Silver watches, and waits, and worries.
Basically, take one usually heart-warming and fluffy trope, apply elements to it, and come out with a thing of slowly creeping dread and wrongness leading to inevitable horror/bleakness, plus the lightness of an engaging Silver-voice and a little redeeming coda with the three of them. Amazing, in short.
I think I may have been double assigned, or just possibly it was the same person, as they both say they were very happy to get this fandom/assignment! (If double-assigned, I want the same again next year, please, this was amazing, lol.)
I hope everyone else Yuletiding also had good fortune, and that everyone celebrating had a lovely day (and if not celebrating, well, it is at least nearly all over now). ♥
