Don't Need to Know Canon
17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future - Jon Bois. Afterlife.
I actually don't know anything about this canon other than that it's set in a future where everyone is immortal. The story is all original characters in that setting, following a group of people saved by the organ donation of a young man who died right before everyone became immortal. It's a lovely look at mortality and immortality, full of hope and human feeling and cats.
Katmai National Park Bear Cams. A Day at the River
Interactive fiction in which you get to spend a day as a bear, with little bear videos of you-the-bear playing and catching salmon and so forth. Very very soothing.
The Sea Witch - Adrien Amilhat. Invocation to the Weaver of Waters
Make webs of water, O wave woman
Knot nets of nacre that gnaw like knives
Absolutely gorgeous 100-word alliterative poem based on a painting which is shown at the top of the link.
Just Osmosis Knowledge Might Be Okay?
His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman. Of No Mean Endeavour, and Not a Little Altered
Mary Malone, scientist and former nun, gets to know her daemon, remembers her time in the world of the mulefa, and carries on with life on Earth; Atal, the being she loved in the world of the mulefa, remembers her time with Mary Malone and carries on with life on her own world.
This story is SO GOOD. It's excellent HDM post-series fanfic catching up with the characters that's also very solid anthropological science fiction about two intelligent beings who fall in love and make it work, and then have to continue to make their lives work after they're separated. It's very humane and touching, with a terrific structure.
I think you could read this just based on a vague knowledge of who the characters are and what happens in the books; I actually dipped into a wiki before reading it because I didn't recall the last book very well. It has some explicit xeno sex that's essential to the plot and themes, and some discussion of religion. (Mary is an atheist but isn't preachy about it).
Should Know Canon
Earth's Children - Jean Auel. The Woods of Change.
DURC AND AYLA REUNION.
Finisterre: The Nighthorses - C. J. Cherryh. Raindrops on Roses.
A lovely look at Jennie and Rain, doing their job in the ambient.
Hell House - Richard Matheson. Until we Meet Again.
Undoing the happy ending. HEED THE TAGS. Extremely well-written and horrifying in all sorts of ways.
Lord Peter Wimsey. Village Perspective. A charming drabble featuring Miss Climpson.
The Princess Bride. Fit as a Fiddle and Ready for Love. A delightful Valerie/Miracle Max drabble.
The Shawshank Redemption. Out on the Water. A post-movie drabble, peaceful and lovely.
The Stand - Stephen King. Christening.
Flagg/Lloyd, right after Flagg takes him from his cell. HEED THE TAGS. Extremely well-written, with a great King voice and everyone very much in-character.
