Yuletide reveals 2016

[measured_words]

I posted a few recs over at my other journal (elanya), but reveals seemed to make the most sense in here. So!

This year I wrote three full length stories and three madness treats - far more than I was expecting!


From a Half-Hour's Acquaintance (5992 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Return to Night - Mary Renault
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Hilary Mansell/Original Character
Characters: Hilary Mansell, Original Female Character(s)
Additional Tags: Camping, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Feminism, Sweden - Freeform
Summary:

"At one of them, she got an invitation to spend the rest of the time camping a deux: it came, blossoming out of an acquaintanceship half an hour old, from a cheerful young Viking with wide blue eyes and a sense of humour like sweet champagne."

Hilary meets the New Woman, but she has some very old ideas.

--This was my official assignment, and the second time writing this fandom for Naraht! I took one of her prompts, took a look at the text, and then did way too much reading up on Stockholm, medical and glbt history in Sweden, 1930 camping, and so on! I sometimes have a had time judging how well I pull off my ideas and I wasn't super confident of this, but it seems to have succeeded! In the novel, Hilary's assessments of both other women and of herself, are realy interesting, and I wanted to put those under close scrutiny. And of course everything is really abot Lisa Clare.

Metamorphic (1296 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Broken Earth Series - N. K. Jemisin
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Alabaster/Hessionite
Characters: Alabaster (Broken Earth), Hessionite (Broken Earth)
Additional Tags: Backstory, First Kiss, magical theory, Library makeouts, Secrets, Dissent, Kissing
Summary:

A change in state due to pressure and heat.

"You're starting to understand, aren’t you." Hessionite rested his hand on Alabaster's shoulder, a gesture that was slightly more than companionable. That, as much as the conversation, made 'Baster's pulse race just a little faster.

--This was a pinch hit, basically! There were almost no details in the request other then a vague request for backstory. This is....semi obscure, I'll say, as Hessionite is mentioned by Alabaster in a few scenes, though the nature of their relationship is clear. I wanted to take a little peek at things before Alabaster was totally jaded (see what i did there? :V). It seems to be well received by those who read it, at least, and I did get a rec, so yay!

Relationships: Everyone/Everyone

Additional Tags: Daddy Kink, Fantasizing, Puppy Play, Spanking, No Porn, Humor, Sexual Humor, Libraries, Team Bonding, Team Dynamics, Power Imbalance, Lap-sitting, daddy willow
Summary:

Blanche finds a photograph that sparks an unexpected session of bonding between the team leaders, wherein several flames are fanned.

--I had a ton of fun writing this - finding the picture at the beginning is inspired by something similar that happened when I was in gradschool, though the ensuing conversations were rather more tame! I'm not quite sure why this didn't do better - too kinky for some and not explicitly kinky enough for others? I know the teacher/mentor retaionship can be offputting to some, but.... Daddy Willow! I can't help it!
