First off, I got a lovely story: 'Tis A Gift To Be Simple, for the musical adaptation of Legally Blonde, in which the author fills in a plot point I have always been annoyed by and Emmett invites Elle to Thanksgiving dinner with him and his mom. It's very sweet and exactly what I wanted.
I also got a treat in Yuletide Madness for Little Women, Romeo et Juliet, which is a brief but delightful "queer Jo March" story.
AND I really wanted to get this up before reveals, so there might be some additions to this later, but here are my recs as of 10:16 AM on 12/31.
What's Real, Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle. A coda to A Wind in the Door, about Meg and Proginoskes and grief and love. Beautifully written.
between the shadow and the soul, The Blue Castle, Barney/Valancy, the early days of their marriage and ~physical love.
The Wildest Of Them All Was The Cat, Captain Marvel, gen - Monica Rambeau and Goose the flerken cat are friends.
Fly Me To The Moon, Captain Marvel, Maria/Carol, a field trip to the moon and joy and grief and remembrance.
Take my hand (and we'll march to the front lines), Captain Marvel, Maria/Carol, remembering they were in love.
The Tesseract's Wife, Captain Marvel, Maria/Carol, a non-linear love story.
How To Break A Spell, Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Alianora and the stone prince continue to try to break the curse on him.
Treasure Trove, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler - Claudia Kincaid's future career, her new friend, and her dedication to what feels right. This is one of my faves.
Lyctor? I Hardly Knew Her, Gideon the Ninth, Gideon/Harrowhark, post-canon and a really good look at Harrow's further trials and tribulations and also how... does... feelings?
Hidden, Kushiel's Legacy, Phedre/Joscelin - a letter from Joscelin to Phedre and a fun framing device, I'd read tons more of this.
Abilities and Affections, Persuasion, literally just a superhero AU retelling but it's very funny
Like Music That Extinguishes the Far-Off Night, Pride (2014), Christmas 1985 with LGSM and friends.
Commence!, Russian Doll, the aftermath.
Stumbling Towards Better, Russian Doll, five Yom Kippurs in Nadia's life.
watch the circles take you home, Six of Crows, Jesper/Wylan, post-series identity and ambition and relationship fic, reall well written
And a double vision is always with me, Spirited Away, Chihiro/Haku, fairytale mashup and future fic in one, I loved it
The Book of Annie Laurie, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Francie comes back to the old neighborhood.
