Yuletide recs

[kangeiko]

As well as my amazing Sekkrit Santa present (the Scrubs fic to end all Scrubs fics! Santa, you rock my socks off!) here are some other fics I've enjoyed thus far> Given that there are over 1,000 stories in the archive for this year, you'll understand that it's taking some time to go through them...

- Addams Family Therapy
This fic is pure genius. I maintain that The Addams Family is a very difficult fandom to write for, as it relies so heavily on visual humour, but this author manages it masterfully. Joel is in therapy, and talking about his one-year anniversary with Wednesday. This is witty, funny, and so completely in the spirit of the movie it makes me giddy. Go. Read. Now.

- The Bridal Path
Another Addams Family fic, and it is sharp and clever and wonderful. The summary is also spot-on: She warned him.

- Number These Excess Days
A Carnivale fic, set during S2. My knowledge of S2 is hazy, but I loved Sofie in this, and the last line just killed me.

- Apples & Oranges
Oh. Oh, man this is heartbreaking. Good Will Hunting, and just - so rich, and so vibrant, it'll just eat you alive.

- 5 firsts
A Knight's Tale, Kate/Christiana. Kate is such a wonderful character, so strong anf likeable, and this fic really does her justice.

- Nature Boy
A Knight's Tale, Wat/Chaucer, and it's cute and funny. :)

More to come as reading progresses...

Man, I totally had you pegged as writing "Number These Excess Days". Darnit.

Wow, that's flattering and terrifying in equal measures!! Not me at all - my Yuletide offerings were much more humble in nature. I wrote three, none of which were Carnivale - and, in fact, only one fandom I'd actually written before...

*is rather petrified now. where do you get these crazy notions from???*
