Some of these are my birthday gifts, some are from the Trick or Treat Collection, and some are just things I recently enjoyed. I hope you find something to enjoy too. If you do, please kudos or comment and make the creator happy.
(I did not sign up for Trick or Treat this year, but I did write three treats (can you guess which they are?) and I've been enjoying browsing the collection.)
(You will note a lack of Biggles. This is because I have enough Biggles fic recs for its own post.)
Art and Fic
Watership Down - Richard Adams. Rabbit-of-the-Moon, by Zdenka. 100 words + art. Silverweed dreams of the moon.
Art
There was a ton of art I loved in the Trick or Treat collection. To browse just the art, sort by wordcount and start at the end.
Star of the Ballet. In another universe, Degas paints darling gorilla girl ballerinas.
The Endless Halloween. Sandman TV. A lovely autumnal portrait of Death, in an outfit she would TOTALLY wear.
Ladies' Games. House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra/Alicent. A great example of how hot a scene can be when everyone is modestly clothed, seen from the waist up, and not doing anything overtly sexual.
a delightful family portrait and a study in badassitude. SPY X FAMILY. I don't know the show but the art is GREAT.
Similarly, I bounced off the Locked Tomb books but I still enjoyed this cool animation of Gideon and this lovely portrait of Nona.
Haircare. Alien vs. Predator. Continuing the theme of me living under a pop culture rock, I've never seen the movie but clearly you don't need to in order to enjoy this tender portrait of a Predator doing his beloved's hair.
Fic
Candyman (Original). the girl made of fire. 348 words. The stories they tell about Helen.
Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin. tomorrow will not be too late, by victoria_p (musesfool). A beautiful look at Tenar through the years.
Original Works/Lovecraftiana. A pair of delightful Original Female Character/Eldritch Horror With Lots of Tentacles stories, both sweet and hilarious. In which Shoggoths have nothing on grad school and Roommates-to-lovers on Halloween.
Julius Caesar - Shakespeare. for always I am Caesar. 532 words. Gorgeously written.
Iron Fist. Pumpkin Problems. 991 words. Ward gets turned into a pumpkin. Need I say more?
Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier. As Sank I Senseless by the Dreadful Shore. 1587 words. Absolutely pitch-perfect narrative voice, a chilling post-novel story.
The Sandman TV. A Place For One (Or Two). 852 words. A lovely and very cozy story about Dream and Lucienne's developing friendship.
The Stand - Stephen King. Cheap Thrills, by Maidenjedi. 1354 words. An unsettling, wistful look at one of my favorite pre-flu characters, Maria the Oral Hygienist.
