FF Friday: FF Yuletide recs

Cemetary Polka Sandman. Death of the Endless/Thessaly (Larissa). Sensual and beautifully written, a pair of perfect character portraits and so much more. If you liked Sandman at all, you should definitely read this.

Unexpected. Dragonriders of Pern – Anne McCaffrey. Kylara/Lessa. Kylara Impresses a bronze dragon. Sexual tension rather than actual sex, but sizzling. Great characterization of both women.

Sanctum. The Scar, by China Mieville. Bellis Coldwine/Carianne. A touching and atmospheric postscript to the book, with Mieville’s diction but more kindness and comfort.

For Everything Else. Crazy Rich Asians. Rachel Chu/Eleanor Young. Five gifts Eleanor gave Rachel, and one gift Rachel gave Eleanor. Aptly tagged “infidelity” and “a truly shocking amount of money.” Fucked up and hot.

Welcome to the Family. The Exorcist TV. Kat Rance/Verity. Post-season two, a lovely bit of healing for the whole family.
