kangeikoSome more recs from this year's yuletide. I'm a tiny way into the archive, so expect these to continue for a while.
Wall.E
- Try/Fail? - False Binary
A really beautiful look at EVE, and how she gradually attains sentience.
All there is and more
Wall.E wants a nextgen. EVE (eventually) agrees. This had me giggling helplessly, from Wall.E demonstrating procreation (Ta da!) through to the training wheels on the baby. Funny and occasionally touching.

10 Things I Hate About You
- Won't Be Your Winter
Aii! Kat Stratford is working at Princeton when Patrick shows up on her doorstep. And I am ridiculously protective of this movie, and feel that most fic doesn't do it justice. This does, and gave me the same glowy feeling that the movie did. Top marks.
*
Fables
- and all this peace has been deceiving
A short look at Bigby/Snow, and how they both live with the Wolf.
- this mirrored perspective
Snow and Bigby through the ages. Spot-on characterisation.
*
Fairy Tales (trad.)
- The Piper Is Gone
A lovely origin story for the Pied Piper, and it works beautifully.
- Never To Be Told
The youngest brother prefers life as a swan. Achingly beautiful, and fitting seamlessly within the original story.
- Verity
I LOVE THIS FIC BEYOND WORDS. It's not even fanfic, really, as it is an original, complete fairy tale about Princess Verity, and how she saves (and marries) her prince. It is as inventive and fulfilling as all the best fairy tales, and I am wildly jealous of the writer who came up with it. *covets*
*
Galaxy Quest
- The Rebirth of Brandon Wheeger
This had my inner geek squeaking like a very squeaky, happy thing. Brandon figures a few things out, and gets to live the dream. As someone who grew up on Star Trek, this worked amazingly well for me.
