crantzYuletide! I got my gifts! Gifts! I got more than one gift!
I will now rec them to you, because I adored them all. In order on the list:
The Fruits Of Hades
Fandom: Greek Mythology
Summary: Hades has his reasons. Persephone has hers.
My comments: Oh! It had good build up and plots and thinking on everyone's part. And a wonderful mental image right near the end.
Here Thy Hands Let Fall The Gather'd Flower
Fandom: Greek Mythology
Summary: Persephone wanted to be one of Artemis’s maidens. Hades wanted to help her avoid Zeus’s unwanted attentions. Needless to say, things didn’t go according to plan.
My comments: Oh, there's this great bit where Athena talks Hades into her plans and the way they get together and I loved the god cameos and a lot of the stuff in here and it was really such a lovely story. And Charon. I really liked Charon in this. Both the greek stories made me really really happy. They managed to hit my fanon-y belief stuff in ways I really liked.
Of Smiting and Sugar Mice
Fandom: Chronicles of Chrestomanci
Summary: This was a Yuletide Treat which grew. I was intrigued by the idea of Cat and Gwendolen meeting again, and started thinking about how the rest of the castle family would feel about it. Or, more simply, Marianne Pinhoe is not impressed.
My thoughts: Lots of screentime for Julia and Marianne, along with Janet and Roger! I love those guys. And the Cat and Chrestomanci and Millie bits are fun and I got to see a re-meeting of Cat and Gwendolen. Gwendolen=total jerkface. Pass it on.
There's a fourth story, but it says it's part of a madness and won't be revealed yet?
But! Anyway, this was my first time doing Yuletide and it was really fun. I'm so happy with what I got, let alone the fact I got more than one story, all of them excellent.
:D!
this was my yuletide letter
