Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Has Yuletide been posted this year? If so, could someone post a link? Thanks!

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

One of my favorite Sherlock/John stories is a fusion story with the Kushiel world of Jaqueline Carey. Sherlock is a scion of one of the twelve houses of the book, though it's set contemporaneously to the stories and is primarily a casefic. While its richer for knowing the Kushiel fandom it is entirely unnecessary to read the story. The Shattered Marque.

There's another one that's set AU inside the world of Kushiel, which is also rather good & doesn't require the bookverse to read, although I find it was a bit florid in places for me and my tastes. Well recommended, especially for folks that like historical AUs. Then There Was You.

The Shattered Marque is awesome. If you're into Star Trek, Kirk/McCoy in specific, there's a great fusion with Kushiel called Love As Thou Wilt by caitri. She's also written some ST crossover/fusion fics with Buffy and Firefly, if you find you like her style.

Oh thanks! I look at Kushiel fusions with some trepidation, because the series was absurdly influential on me as a teenager, but I love getting good recs!

The best stories I read on Yuletide this year were The Piper, a killer sequel to Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, in which Janet's little sister goes to Blackstock and finds things are just as weird in the Classics Department.

And this done, day comes up now, which is a sequel to the Rihannsu Star Trek books by Diane Duane.

Both of them are detailed and fairly long, with plotting and research and great characterizations. Worth the read, if you know the source texts.

Also, this The Martian story was a hoot.

Hey, so I have something specific I am looking for, because SA is rolling her eyes at me about it, BUT: I really want TOS Omegaverse, Alpha Bones, Beta Kirk, Omega Spock OT3.

A: does it exist; B: got a link?

Pon Farr a bonus.
