233 | my Yuletide gifts!

Just a quick entry—I wanted to share my lovely Yuletide gifts! I got rather spoiled this year (which I feel slightly guilty about, since I had to default on my own assignment), and I really want to share them.

I don't think either of them require much or any canon knowledge to enjoy—the Gris fic in particular would read very, very well as an original fantasy story, and I heartily recommend it to anyone.

A broken statue, an ancient land, and a throat with no voice.

Gris has sacrificed so much already, and she's willing to sacrifice even more, if it means fixing what has been broken.

233 | Yuletide 2020 Recs

I’ve finished my first pass through the Yuletide collection, and now come bearing some initial recs! (I do need to emphasize the “first pass” part—for whatever reason, a lot more fics than usual ended up on my marked-for-later list rather than being read straight away.)

Fandoms include: And Then There Were None, Beware of the Villainess, “Christmas Cottage” by Thomas Kinkade, Cotillion, A Little Princess, The Secret Garden, and The Snake Fight Portion of Your Thesis Defense
