The Yuletide Archive this year is full of wonderful stories, complete with the yearly array of quirky, Yuletide-only fandoms. This year it's The Voynich Manuscript and Medieval Manuscript Illustrations such as knights fighting snails, penis trees, and barnacle geese.
Other fandoms that may be of interest include Crazy Rich Asians, C. J. Cherryh's Morgaine Chronicles, Stephen King's The Stand and The Long Walk, Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, Ursula K. Le Guin's Always Coming Home, Earthsea, and The Left Hand of Darkness, and William McGonnigall's The Tay Bridge Disaster.
I got two absolutely fantastic stories. It was a great Yuletide for me.
Unfit to Be Strangers. The Leftovers. They're all alone together. A haunting and very moving story about grief and new connections in a post-apocalyptic world. It's spoilery for an aspect of the show which I would highly recommend not being spoiled for, so if you haven't seen it and are considering watching it, don't read this. But if you're definitely not going to see the show, this story stands on its own as it's about original characters.
Lifeline. The Punisher TV. A flashbang leaves Frank temporarily blind and deaf while attempting to rescue hostages, including David. If you like the show, you have got to read this story. It's 10K of exciting action and Frank & David interaction, and is very clever and impressive in that it's basically Die Hard only he actually is blind and deaf for most of the story.
I have four stories total between the main collection and Yuletide Madness, if you want to try to find them.
