I'm terrible at signing up for exchanges, I dither for ages and fret about the thought of having to write a letter. So for once, what I've written, thanks to taking up some pinch hits outstrips the number of what I've received. In reverse chronological exchange order therefore:

Relationshipping

What I gotIn medias res (always in the middle of something), The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley/Theo, Summary: Shirley and Theo avoid a touchy subject (or not).

What I thought: That feeling when you get the rarepair incest femslash fic you've been hoping for :___: angry, sharp and pointy Crain sisters, with a kiss that takes place while someone has their hands buried (literally) in someone else's chest.

What I gave: The Preservation of the World, Ginger Snaps, Brigitte/Ginger, Summary: no joke, I just realised while typing this up...that I forgot to put a summary on AO3. In brief, AU from the end - Ginger and Brigitte live in the woods together.
What I thought: I've been waiting ages to write a fic for Ginger Snaps, and this is a Stripy special - plenty of shitty jokes to go around!

Two pinch hits written respectively for the SAME (Short August Medieval Exchange) flash exchange and the Stephen King exchange

SAME: he today that sheds his blood with me, A Knight's Tale, Will/ Edward the Black Prince, Summary: The Black Prince can always count on William to rise to his challenge.
What I thought: This was a ton of fun to write. It involves blowjobs, stupid banter between Will and his friends and my personal favourite thing: single combat

King of Exchangesfears that I may cease to be, The Long Walk, Ray Garraty/Peter McVries, Summary: Olson breaks the line. McVries and Garraty run.
What I thought: just about the fastest I've written a fic this year, thanks pinch hit deadline! A pleasure though.

My New Years Resolution fic, written merely one year late

friend like that, who needs an enemy, LA Confidential, Bud White/Edmund Exley, Summary “Two dead Santas and a heroin epidemic,” Exley says, thumbing through a little crisp book now. “The things Christmas is made of.”
What I thought: How my immensely kind and patient beta did not storm across a sea to throw me out a window when writing this is beyond me. Thank you

Remix Revival Madness

What I got: Blood Alliances (a Heart Blood remix), Supernatural, Dean/Benny, Summary: Benny's thought about it in the course of their journey through the vast forested landscape of Purgatory.
What I thought: This was a remix of my Dean/Benny fic which involved Dean thoroughly topping Benny in Purgatory, and I am pleased as hell that my remixer kept the spirit of that while creating an amazing story. Loved it.

Trick or Treat (I was lucky enough to get three fics!)

What I got: Tomatoes, lettuce and a burger, Supernatural, gen, Summary: Dean is making Sam a burger, something is off.
What I thought: delicious creepy little horror fic - just perfect for a Halloween trick
What I got: Fox-Fire, The Terror, Crozier/Fitzjames, Summary:  “I like my little Fox very much,” Francis said with half-a-smile. “It has always done well by me.”
What I thought: I love these two so much, and this was a delightful byplay between them complete with rescue
What I got: 
The Litany of Hatred, The Favourite, Abigail/Sarah, Summary: A beast stalks the palace. Sarah tells Abigail about it.
What I thought: My favourite messed up couple, this is subtle and vicious with an amazing turn of phrase

What I gave: Bird on a Wire, Top Gun, Iceman/Maverick, Summary: Hiding in plain sight is tough, but Maverick considers himself a master of disguise.
What I thought: One day I will write the Iceman/Mav fic of my dreams, but until then, I enjoyed getting a little snippet of them out there even though I wished it could have been longer.

Fic in a Box (didn't sign up, so this was just a pinch hit)

What I wrote: death, the abyss from where no traveler is permitted to return, Hannibal, Alana Bloom/Beverly Katz, Summary: “You know,” Alana says, mostly a non-sequitur. “You aren’t the first. Is that comforting?” / Beverly pauses over the milk, some people maintain a jug, she sticks to the carton. “Not the first to come back?” she says./ “I was thinking, not the first to die,” Alana replies.
What I thought: I am amused that my first Hannibal fic is so a) so late and b) explicit femslash, but honestly writing someone crawling back out of a grave and having to phone the bank to unfreeze their account is apparently the height of my ambitions
 
Non-exchange (yes it exists)

a separate moral universe, Supernatural, Sam/Dean, Summary: What Is And What Should Never Be AU. Dean is Sam’s no good big brother who flunked out of school, steals their mom’s silver to pay off his gambling debts, and is drunk more often than not. And he fucks Sam like no one else ever does.  / Motels inhabit a separate moral universe is what that world's Stoppard might've said, but didn't.
What I thought: This was a super fun exercise actually - this is very specifically the djinn version of Sam and Dean who we saw from that episode, but I hope bits of real Sam and Dean come through as well. OK, honestly, it's just porn.

I've been ill this Christmas but on the plus side that has meant that over the last two days I've had time and space to read through a bunch of Yuletide fics and highlight a few of the ones I've really enjoyed. I'm about halfway through the fandoms (I read in any fandom I know canon for) so there will probably be a second list though I may not finish in time for reveals. Anything that is over 10K I tend to come back to at the end. If your fic is on the list and not yet commented by me, rest assured I'll get there.

Find 9 Yuletide recs beneath the cut! This is only my first quick pass through the archive so I'm looking forward to lots more gems, especially since as I don't read big-for-Yuletide fandoms until after I'm done with everything else. So The Charioteer, The Terror and a few others are going to wait until I have the mental fortitude.

This year was the least productive I have ever been for Yuletide thanks to being ill. I ended up defaulting, though frankly my recipient was the sockiest sock that could ever be imagined so my guilt was lessened (they didn't go to pinch hit so they'd defaulted as well). However to alleviate the guilt that still hung around, I did a last, last minute pinch hit for someone with a great letter for a fandom that I love. Given the time frame and travelling on Christmas Eve, I'd have loved to have done so much more, but I'm not disappointed with what I made, all things considered.

Dear Yuletide Writer,


Thanks for matching with me on any of these fandoms! I love them all, and I will genuinely like anything that you write for me. I'm happy to read slash, femslash, gen or het, and I'm equally happy to read explicit fic or gen fic (or anything in between). Any story you'd like to tell with these characters is one that I would like to read. I've tried to give a feel for what I like about the canons - any minor discrepancies in length is mostly down to the different canon lengths - I love all of these equally.

Thanks for the vgifts to [livejournal.com profile] tebtosca  and [livejournal.com profile] alezig :D delicious, delicious gingerbread men. A Happy New Year to you both, and to everyone else also!


Here is my Yuletide reveal. I wrote two stories, one assignment and one treat. My assignment was for Equilibrium, and the story can be found here:
And now to sleep (4296 words) by StripySock
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Equilibrium (2002)
Rating: Mature
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Errol Partridge/John Preston
Characters: Errol Partridge, John Preston
Summary:

The world ends with a whimper not a bang. Errol Partridge merely puts down his injector one day.


And I clearly can't stay away from pushing my own boundaries when it comes to porn, and I wrote a story best described as 'canon tentacle sex.' I am the only story this Yuletide labelled 'Tentacle Sex.' Should I be proud? Ashamed? Who knows. I'm fairly proud of staying in character and in-canon though.

Keeping in Good Condition (2728 words) by StripySock

Summary:

“They made me see that the world was beautiful if you were beautiful, and that you couldn't get unless you gave. And you had to give without wanting to get.” T.H. White - The Once and Future King

Notes This is a beautiful and gorgeous look at the complicated relationship and dynamics between Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot, with a touch of magic, and an acknowledgement of how difficult things can be between people even when you love. Also those last paragraphs are like a dream come true.

and then, because I'm super lucky, I got a trea as well

Trinitarian (1236 words) by Anonymous

Notes Superb imagery, and beautiful language entwining three flawed people together. Glimpses of a vital relationship and the many facets therein- and its gorgeous final paragraph
