lotesseYuletide first!
heat entering each pearl, Rebecca, Rebecca/Mrs. Danvers, rated M. When I first became her personal maid, I thought of Rebecca as my absolute opposite: delicate where I was hard, as rose-mouthed and sensuous as I was pale and papery. 1,828 words
and for Yuletide Madness:
Finds but riddling shrift, Tortall, George/Alanna plus Numair, rated G. George finds Arram Draper juggling in the snow. 1,236 words
Dancing through this fiery-blossom'd revel, Nußknacker und Mausekönig, Clara/Nutcracker, rated T. Before, he'd been courtly and kindly and sweet, and she had been quite entirely in love with him – after all, wasn't it her vow of tenderness that had freed him from his curse? But he hadn't been human. He'd been a fairytale prince, his every movement filled with a stiff, precise, formal grace. 1,106 words
and for the rest of the year, 10 stories in 8 fandoms:
Grass and greenworld all together, Ivanhoe, A Romance, Ivanhoe/Rowena, Rebecca, Richard, rated G, gen and het. Three small stories, before and after. Kidfic, letter-writing, ethical debates, chivalry, and families of choice and otherwise. 2,361 words
Time's sublimest target is a soul forgot, The Dark is Rising,Will/Bran. Teen (sexual content). Depressing lyrical post-canon academia!fic: Will recognized, clear as stillwater ice, the futility of the project: he was looking through a history of dreams for his own lost Pendragon. 1,846 words
Teethed on a crucifix and cradled underwater, Merlin, Princess Elena, rated G, gen. Elena-centric gen post-ep for 3.06. All Elena's strange wonderful independence can't really be gone for good: She didn't really care so much that her hair looked more like dandelion fluff than it did like spun gold. 945 words
what are you that wanting you I should be kept awake, Tortall, Daine/Numair, rated M. Mature sexual content, quarreling, makeup sex, magical exhaustion. "I don't give a bloody coin for what the King needed,” she snapped. "You needed, for once, to manage to not half-kill yourself as soon as I leave Corus. Do you not have any instincts at all? Can't you tell when you're going too far?" 3, 547 words
Pass, repass, glide away, Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock&Mycroft, Sherlock/Mycroft, rated E. Siblings, and gender, and being different, splitting off partway into a family narrative – and an incest fantasy. It was a very good disguise, but having once observed it Mycroft could not fail to see with strangely doubled vision: at once the familiar stripling boy-body he'd watched from childhood and the enchanting odd lovely girl-form that Sherlock was wearing like a second skin. 5,457 words
Or brushed a royal gown, Lord of the Rings, Frodo/Sam, rated T. Post-quest genderswap, always!a!girl!Frodo. Fashion. When Frodo came up, the gown and stays and petticoats and jewels were already spread on her bed, sparkling and strange, and somehow cruel. 2,294 words
A keen lens of empathy, Firefly, Simon/River, rated G. Jaynestown episode coda. H/c, crazy-space-incest-style. Stream-of-consciousness. “You're hurt,” she says again, noticing in the back of her mind that she's repeating herself. She sounds like a dolt. She tries again, says something new this time. “I didn't notice.” 896 words
that such a dirty thing as charcoal can become incandescent, Stargate SG1, Jack/Daniel, rated T. Set late in Season 3. Jack doesn't know how to be the family that Daniel's lost. 2,246 words
gentle heart but not acquainted, Sherlock Holmes, Holmes/Watson, rated M. prompt: While in bed with Watson, Holmes is absolutely adoring and besotted, the opposite of his usually cold, calculating self. Watson is both surprised and amused. 950 words
until you cry: now you must try my greed, Sherlock Holmes, Holmes/Watson, rated E. Rentboy!fic. He felt like a man possessed, enchanted by the spell of Holmes' long white exposed collarbones. To find his friend, his flatmate, the theme of so many of his thoughts in such a place, looking as he did - beautiful and strange and inhuman- 6,440 words
total wordcount for the year: 31,152 words. Not bad, considering the year!
