Trick or Treat Recs: Part II

I read and look in a very scattershot manner, so reccing one work but not others in a fandom doesn't mean I disliked them, it means I probably haven't gotten to them yet. Here are some recs for works that are not my gifts.

Stories

Nobody's Idea of a Vacation. Black Panther. Ross grinned. “As always, you’ve come to the right place. I’m guessing your overlap on ‘obviously non-Wakandan people’ and ‘people you sort of trust’ and ‘people who aren’t Captain America’ is pretty slim, but I’m always happy for a vacation.” Nakia, Ross, and Shuri collaborate on a mission. The story feels like an outtake from the movie, with banter and friendship and action and cool Wakanda tech.

Rag and Bone. Carrie - Stephen King. Carrie resurrects her mother. Chilling and heartbreaking.

Three MASH stories. Linked as a group because I liked them all and for the same reason: in different ways, they all capture the feel of the show.

Nobody Likes a Skinny Liver. Original Works. Disclaimer: I beta'd this. A fox spirit in art school just wants to be left alone to paint, but her relatives want her to get with the program, and hurry up and seduce and eat someone already. Her roommate is right there!

Bright Threads. The Prydain Chronicles - Lloyd Alexander. A perfectly characterized day in the life of Orddu, Orwen, and Orgoch, bickering and puttering about their cottage and weaving the world.

Cat Art

In Which Beruthiel's Cats Explore Middle Earth. Adorable and hilarious, but also very Middle-Earth-like; Old Man Willow has a distinct Charles Vess vibe.

Follow Me. Three kittens follow a soldier to his barracks. Adorable and expressive; I kept coming back to look at it again.

Jean Grey Holding Emma Frost Who Has Been Transformed Into A Cat. The incandescent fury of fluffy kitty Emma Frost has to be seen to be believed.
