Yuletide!!
Dec. 25th, 2019 09:22 pmI got a very fun and bittersweet Treasure Planet fic featuring not-quite-post-canon Jim & Silver meeting up one last time and now feel very spoiled, not just because Treasure Planet is the near-and-dear movie of my heart (and the request I was secretly most excited about) but because after having to default I wasn't expecting a gift.
Learn What's Never Shown: Jim Hawkins stumbles across an old friend while on a mission from the Intersteller Academy.
Other great fics that jumped out during my first pass through the collection:
The Colors of Lorbanery (Earthsea): The woman who had once been Akaren stayed inside her house for several days, changing.
A wonderful, compassionate look at one of my favorite characters from The Farthest Shore.
And stormy grew the sea (Sir Patrick Spens): They say that the King of Scotland will never touch wine.
A ghost story with gorgeous, folktale-style prose.
Inauspicious Auguries (The Fantod Pack): Fragments of a life refracted.
Not a ghost story, but still creepy; this fic is based around Edward Gorey's Fantod Pack, an eerie and nonsensical deck of tarot cards. It's eerie and nonsensical, and also a total treat.
Flora's Adventures in Ghostland (The Turn of the Screw): An excerpt from the beloved children's novel.
Henry James meets Alice in Wonderland.
