I started my new job today, and I also got five (five!!!) gifts for Yuletide, and they are all brilliant, I can't pick a favorite, I am reccing them all to you right now you should read all of them.

In the main collection:

Karma, Karma
Honey, I rose up from the dead. I do it all the time.
A Look What You Made Me Do fic, in which multiple versions of Taylor Swift team up to steal a statue. With backstabbing. And revenge plots. And a body-stealing, murderous zombie you can't help but root for. And some fantastically sneak-up-on-you creepy worldbuilding.

harder, in the nick of time
“Who am I?” I asked. “Where am I? What’s going on?”

“Genetically, you’re a clone of an individual named Taylor Swift,” she said. “Vocationally, you are, essentially, a spy. As for what’s going on–”

“We’re on a mission,” someone else said, “or we’re about to be. Gear up.”

Another Look What You Made Me Do fic taking things in a completely different direction. A memory-wiped clone of Taylor Swift discovers that she's been created to act as a diversion in spy missions and struggles with her identity, her relationship with her fellow clones, and her place in the world. Also features my new OTP Becky/Rory which I will now ship forever.


In the Madness collection:

A Bedtime Story
The things in the wall have quite a bit to say for themselves. It doesn't mean you'd be wise to listen.
A Sit Down By The Fire fic that is deliciously, wonderfully creepy, with language made to do things that would make Shane MacGowan proud. The things' opinion of humanity isn't flattering at all, and it rings more than a little true -- beware what the things are whispering to you.

Those who Help us Most to Grow
Fizz goes back to The Greenroom for some advice.
A Julie's Greenroom fic, in which Fizz, all grown up, returns to the Greenroom to seek Miss Julie's help and runs into Peri there as well. Utterly charming, as sweet and optimistic as the source material; this is what Fizz's future must and does look like.

Orientation
Etta Perrault meets a coworker.
A The Bridge fic, short and perfect; Etta's first encounter with Bob Specimen 10, as a new recruit. Also features a brief and exactly in-character cameo from Roger. I hope the podcast never goes into much detail about this part of the backstory, because this is my new headcanon.

MERRY CHRISTMAS IF YOU CELEBRATE IT, MERRY DECEMBER 25TH OTHERWISE. Or December 26th, depending on your time zone.

Aside from the fact that I'm still sick (IT'S BEEN TWO MONTHS THAT IS TOO LONG FOR THIS STUPID COLD TO STICK AROUND) and that it's ridiculously warm, it's been a pretty great Christmas so far.

My brother went all-out on gifts and pretty much completed my Neil Gaiman collection (INCLUDING THE DELUXE EDITION OF THE SANDMAN OVERTURE) plus some baking-related stuff I've been wanting, my sister and her family got me a Netflix gift card that will pay for my account for like four months and a bit, and the parents got me some nice clothes (including an EXCELLENT scarf that I really wish it wasn't way too warm to wear), a beautiful coloring book and nice colored pencils, and Into The Woods on blu-ray. I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT ALL OF THIS. Also a bunch of people at work gave me various kinds of food. Thank you, people at work!

And everyone seemed really pleased with what I got them which is AWESOME. (I am the world's most insecure gift-giver. Even when I'm buying people things they've specifically said they want. WHAT IF THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND?!)

Also, YULETIDE. I've barely made a dent in the archive as a whole, but I received two gifts and they're both INCREDIBLE: y a lo exterior regresan las cosas en ti ocultas, an utterly gorgeous Sense8 fic about Lito and Capheus connecting that manages to combine everything I ever wanted and does it beautifully, and Start Here, a fantastically adorable Girl Meets World fic about Zay meeting the guy of his dreams on his first day of college that just about kills me with cute.

Happy December 25th!

Merry Christmas Eve to everyone who celebrates Christmas, and Happy December 24th to everyone else! (Unless it's December 25th in your time zone. Then Merry Christmas and/or Happy December 25th!)

I have Andes Mint brownies and I got two amazing and very different fics for Yuletide, so I'm having a pretty great December 24th.

The stories in question:
More than we know, a Hellblazer fic focusing on Cheryl through the years, particularly her relationships with Gemma and John. The author has a really great grasp of Cheryl's voice, and everything about it feels right.

Where We've Been, a Ghostwriter fic in which Lenni and Jamal reunite twelve years post-canon. It's bittersweet with a really fantastic happy ending, and the futures the author has imagined for the characters is strikingly perfect.

In addition to my main Yuletide fic, I also received a Madness treat!! All In Your Hands, another Once fic, this one an absolutely gorgeous and heartbreaking study of the Girl and her reasons for not showing up to see the Guy as she promised she would.

I am experiencing all kinds of flail here ♥♥♥

30 Days Of TV:

Day 23 ♥ Most annoying character

Dylan freakin' Hunt.

I will restrain my rant for all your sakes and leave it at that.

the rest )


30 Days Of Who:

Day 16 ♥ Your Favorite Who-Related FanFic

There are 51 entries in the "Doctor Who fic" section of my LJ memories.

*picks one*

the naming of things by [livejournal.com profile] ariafic, which is the only Academy-era fic to sell me on its characterizations of the Doctor and the Master as schoolkids and is just an amazing fic besides that.

the rest )

Day 15 ♥ A fanfic

More or less chosen at random from the fics I love enough to put in my LJ memories:

The One Where They're All In A Rock Band, Young Wizards AU, by [livejournal.com profile] labellementeuse

This is fabulous. It's the only YW fic in my memories, which is a shame but is also a testament to how awesome it is. It is, as the title suggests, a band!AU; specifically, Nita, Kit, Dairine, and Mela in an indie rock band called Myriad. Roshaun is Japanese pop royalty, Ronan's a self-destructive Irish singer, Dair mixed for "technosynth solo artist MOTHERBOARD"...there's all sorts of nods to canon while preserving the integrity of the AU, and the characterization is dead on.

Only complaint: Way too short. I wish the author wrote more in this AU. Or that other people did; she's given permission!

chicafrom3: photo of the TARDIS (xkcd - hat girl/hat guy otp)
...you know what I would like to see? A Doctor Who/xkcd crossover. With Black Hat Guy and Black Hair Girl as the Doctor's companions. He would be TOTALLY APPALLED by them and their methods, but they would accidentally save the universe through the liberal use of explosives and hacking! And velociraptors. And crossbows and lightsabers. And they would reverse-engineer the TARDIS and then start growing their own. Without the Doctor's permission. And they would critique the scientific holes in the Doctor's technobabble! And epic hat wars! AND IT COULD BE AWESOME.

This complete randomness at least partially inspired by the fact that there now exists in the world Black Hat Guy/Black Hat Girl fic! And it is good.

I was browsing around for Lost fic recs, because I want something good to read (and if anyone of my Friends List is reading this and can recommend anything, pretty please post a link?), and apparently one of my fics won an award that I knew nothing about.

There's a nice little unexpected ego boost.
