kate_nepveu: sleeping cat carved in brown wood (Default)
[personal profile] kate_nepveu

Okay, normally I do Yuletide recs all organized by type of source material and then by fandom within that, with cut tags at reasonable intervals.

I can't do that this year. I don't have time. I have yielded to my own nature enough to dump the fandoms into a spreadsheet and sort them alphabetically, and I'll cut-tag each one (except I grouped fandoms of the same author together). Without further ado, 77 things to read while you're waiting for this year's reveals.

Summary: The man-who-was-Coyote watched him, his eyes glinting yellow in the lamplight for an instant before they looked black-brown again. “Sent me here for you. Anansi.” // “What does Mr. Nancy need?” // Coyote laughed. It was a high laugh, with yips like the ones Shadow had heard out beyond the grass. “Anansi? Anansi needs nothing. Anansi is dead.”

Feels very true to canon.

Summary: Diana gets Anne for a month every summer. Gilbert gets her for the rest of the year.

This stuck with me all out of proportion to its length.

I don't know the canon for the POV character, but I enjoyed these shenanigans very much all the same.

Summary: Chime suddenly realized he had some urgent work he needed to do in the library when the question arose, and Moon didn't even think about asking Jade, knowing how busy she was. Instead, with the five babies crawling all over him, he turned to the other consorts. "Stone, could you help me feed them...?" // Stone looked like Moon had just asked him to balance a table on his head - he could probably do it, but it was a very odd request. But Ember, who had been lounging near the hearth in the consorts' bower, sat up. "I could help, if you wanted," he said, a little shyly.

Babies and Moon's uneasy (but kind) relationship with Ember (aww).

Summary: Dan Savage: So you’re getting pounded in the butt by your own concept of linear time. // Caller: Right. // Dan Savage: What is that like? // Caller: Well, Dan, it’s kind of confusing. On the one hand, it’s fucking amazing hardcore gay action. On the other hand, last month I was double-teamed by the sociopolitical implications of Putin influencing the American Presidential election in order to install a tiny-handed fascist Cheeto in the White House, and by the historical precedents of Trump’s demagogic takeover of America for the purposes of personal profit and destroying all the best ideals of our nation.

If you're even vaguely aware of either of these canons, definitely read this.
