The collection is open! Browse! Enjoy! Please comment if you like something.
Despite extreme difficulties (wrist problems AND my laptop screen died halfway through a story I was writing and was then in the shop for TWO WEEKS, I wrote three stories. Can you guess which ones?
This was a particularly strong collection, and I haven't even read everything I intend to yet - I haven't even started on Original Works or anything in the MCU, for instance. (I'm also behind on commenting. SORRY YOU WILL ALL GET THE COMMENTS YOU DESERVE. SOON.)
I got FOUR fantastic gifts! Plus several stories that weren't gifted to me, but might as well have been. Here's my recs from the collection. I'll say if you need to know canon.
Biggles - W. E. Johns
There are five Biggles stories and I enjoyed them all. I think all you need to know to read them is that Biggles is a British WWI pilot who becomes a general flying adventurer and Erich von Stalhein is a German spy who becomes a general ne'er do well; they're enemies who admire each other to a ridiculous degree. "Nor Any Drop" is based on their canon meeting in which Biggles is a double agent pretending to be a turncoat named Brunau.
ALL the Biggles stories
Bluebeard
To All My Wives I Loved and Love. A short account of his wives, from Bluebeard's POV; even more spectacularly fucked-up than that summary suggests.
Ready or Not - Movie
this surely is a dream. Dreamy, atmospheric Grace/Daniel. You need to know canon.
Revelator - Daryl Gregory
There are THREE stories for this book, one for me but they might as well all be for me, and they're all brilliant. They are all set at least partly post-canon, are spectacularly spoilery, and will make no sense if you haven't read the book. As a delightful bonus, two of them are takes on the same prompt but do extremely different things with it.
ALL the Revelator stories.
The Ritual - Movie
Moder. I GOT ART OF MODER AND IT'S AMAAAAAAAZING.
Sundial - Catriona Ward
From hope and fear set free. A gorgeous, moving, darkly comic fix-it, perfectly in tune with the book and what a fix-it even means in this context. Extremely spoilery for the book and won't make sense if you haven't read it.
Us - Movie
Everything Is Fine Now. Umbrae follows Zora home. (Can Zora keep her? Should she?)
SOMEONE FINALLY WROTE MY UMBRAE PROMPT AND IT'S GREAT. This will not make sense unless you've seen the movie, but if you've seen the movie, you have GOT to read this.
