DON'T NEED TO KNOW CANON
Pseudo-Edo SciFi Art - Yamaguchi Akira
Two stories were written this Yuletide based on this set of very cool paintings of futuristic/steampunk Edo-period Japan. I recced one last post, and I'm back to rec the other this post. They're both excellent and quite different from each other.
View of the Island of Kyushu, Temporal Express. 1082 words.
Beautifully written, full of beautiful images, and dreamlike in the very best way; steampunk time-traveling Japan by way of Ray Bradbury. Like the other story, this one would not be out of place in Clarkesworld or Strange Horizons.
NEED TO KNOW CANON
The 101 Dalmatians - Dodie Smith
What's in a Name? Nanny Cook, Nanny Butler, Dalmatian puppies. 2121 words.
The story of Nanny Cook, Nanny Butler, and how they deal with a house full of Dalmatians (Quite well, thank you very much.) Exactly in the tone of the book, sweet and whimsical with unexpected dashes of practicality.
Piranesi - Susannah Clarke
These stories both capture the heartbreaking/heartwarming aspects of the book, the beauty and the loss and the loneliness and the hope.
The Waters below the Nineteenth Eastern Hall. 1465 words.
Piranesi discovers a new set of statues in the Drowned Halls.
Beloved Child. 1101 words.
Piranesi/Matthew Rose Sorensen reunites with his family, accompanied by Sarah Raphael.
The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
Fist Fights and Fan Fiction: The Complicated Legacy of Eugenides & Irene
A delightful metafiction in a version of our present world in which Eugenides and Irene definitely existed, but the exact details of their reign are a matter of dispute. Full of great little Easter eggs - check out the surnames of some of the people cited - and has a story going on in both present and ancient past timelines.
If you enjoy any of these stories, please give the authors a comment or kudos, or say so here if you don't have an AO3 account.
