bofoddityYuletide lives, and this year I was lucky enough to get two stories all for myself. First is Returning to the Scene, a Gotham Central-fic in which Renee goes to greet her old friends at Gotham Central. The character interaction in the story is delightful, and it's always good to see fic about Renee. The second story, His heir, is Spider-Man-story in the comicverse, with Norman/Peter (Green Goblin/Spider-Man)-pairing. I prefer my hero/villain-pairings dark, and dark is exactly what I get here. Both stories were very delightful and I enjoyed them a lot.
Now, a couple of other recs from this year's harvest:
One Little Ewe Lamb, a Bible-based story that tells the story of Batsheva in a very painful, but realistic way. Very short, but it sliced straight through my heart. Another Bible-fic that I really liked was Sweet, Salt, and Bitter, an unusual take on the Rachel/Leah-sisterhood. (Warning for incest. Not my usual thing, but it works here.)
In fact, go and check out all Bible-fic in the archive. It's all wonderful.
The Fearless Moral Inventory of Milhouse Van Houten, Simpsons-fic in which Milhouse is all grown up. This is how you make Simpsons realistic and succeed.
The Colour of Poison Berries, a Little Red Ridinghood-retelling. I like the not-so-soft heroine in this, and the language in this is really lovely. Swansong, on the other hand, is a lovely take on H.C Andersen's The Wild Swans.
The Bright Light of Shipwreck, the side to Medusa's story that we didn't see in the actual Greek Mythology. Another story with beautiful prose, and the last scene is especially poignant.
And in my last year's fandom, Batman Begins, we have the incredible Lodestone, a dark look in the life of Jim Gordon in Gotham. I especially like how Gordon sees Batman in this story.
