Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I will say, this is one of those quintessential yuletide stories, and it is hilarious.

Thanks Dana--that's one I probably wouldn't have read otherwise, but it was a hoot!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks all. I guess what I am mourning is livejournal. I don't get tumblr.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I've never watched The Magicians (though I have read the first 2 books), but I fell backwards into fic for it, and now I can't stop reading it. My brain is so weird.

Have just started re-reading one of my comfort books, The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord. Why is there zero fanfic for this book on AO3? It's practically fanfic itself! So many possibilities! (Sadly I hated her other book set in this universe)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

That Margery Kempe fic was my very favorite to come out of Yuletide this year. It was like everything Yuletide stands for in one fic.

Steph, have you read greywash's Magicians fic? They're a good friend of mine, and imo they've written some of the definitive fic of the fandom as a whole.

YES! Their fic is some of my favorite in that fandom, especially the big holiday one (Our Place in the Family of Things). So, SO good.
