Yuletide Recs!

Just a few things I have enjoyed this Yuletide season

First, I have to rec my own, awesome gift:

Delivery for a Dancer (6576 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Melendy Quartet - Elizabeth Enright
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Randy Melendy, Rush Melendy, Mona Melendy, Oliver Melendy, Mark Herron
Summary:

Randy Melendy has always danced, and plans to be a dancer when she grows up. Or maybe an artist. Or both. But when she discovers a real-live ballet dancer is living in the area, she's willing to do just about anything for a chance to meet her.



This is the Melendy story I have always wanted for Yuletide - it reads just like a missing chapter from one of the books. So great!


a whisper to the living (4428 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Space: Above and Beyond
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Shane Vansen, Cooper Hawkes
Summary:

Their second Christmas aboard the Saratoga is much quieter than the first.



Speaking of missing chapters, this fits right in as a coda episode to S:AAB. The author really nails the character voices here, and Shane's voice is perfect. I am in awe.

Consanguinity (17542 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Eight Cousins series - Louisa May Alcott
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Rose Campbell/Mac Campbell
Characters: Rose Campbell, Mac Campbell, Alec Campbell, Aunt Plenty
Summary:

Cupid has found his Psyche. There is just the small matter that she is his cousin.



Eight Cousins fix-it fic. The author has done a brilliant job with the premise, and it all feels just right.

The Maid and Her Lady: A Brief History (1332 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Montmaray Journals - Michelle Cooper
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Charlotte Marlowe, Barnes
Summary:

Very few FitzOsbornes have found coming to England to be an easy experience. Luckily Toby found Rupert. Henry found Estella. And Charlotte found Barnes.



Aunt Charlotte! Barnes! *sob* My heart.

Holy Darkness (3938 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Till We Have Faces - C. S. Lewis
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Istra | Psyche (Till We Have Faces), Orual | Maia (Till We Have Faces), God of the Grey Mountain (Till We Have Faces)
Summary:

Until Orual came, Psyche hadn’t quite realized how strange she had begun to feel in her palace, with its invisible servants and alien finery and husband who came to her only in the dark.



Really, really well done Psyche-POV.

Rub-a-Dub Dub (A Bunch of Capes in the Tub) (1156 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Justice League & Justice League Unlimited (Cartoons)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Wally West, Gorilla Grodd, The Joker, Amanda Waller, Oliver Queen, Diana (Wonder Woman), Shayera Hol, Selina Kyle, Alfred Pennyworth, Lex Luthor
Summary:


“Holy cats!” Oliver said, dropping the sponge. There was still conditioner in his beard.


“I think you mean, holy bats,” Bruce intoned.

A bunch of times Batman ambushed people in the shower, and a time or two someone ambushed him.



Bruce Wayne, shower creeper. Hilarious!

this city misses you already (2752 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Spider-Man (Ultimateverse)
Rating: Mature
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Peter Parker/Johnny Storm
Characters: Peter Parker, Johnny Storm
Summary:

Having Peter here is something Johnny thought would never happen again.



Peter Parker returns from the dead, and Johnny is waiting for him. Hot and sweet.

Entr'acte (7651 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - All Media Types
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Peter Guillam/Ricki Tarr, Guillam's Boyfriend/Peter Guillam
Characters: Ricki Tarr, Peter Guillam, Fawn (Smiley novels)
Summary:

Entr'acte: French, 1. The interval between two acts of a theatrical performance. 2. Another performance, as of music or dance, provided between two acts of a theatrical performance.

Peter Guillam, Ricki Tarr, and the dark, sharp, in-between spaces. Five times Guillam did not sleep with Tarr, and the one time he did.



Wow, this is just a marvelous blending of book and movie canon - it fits in the movie, but reads just like the book, and fills in so many missing pieces.

And now, a whole day to read more! :D

Thank you for requesting and reccing the Melendy fic, I somehow missed it going through the archive, and it would have been tragic if I'd missed it altogether.
