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?
Yes, I did. Sadly, as we were just discussing, I can't write it myself, or I totally would.
There is very, very little ABO in any Trek'verse that I know of. For some reason, I don't want it in my Trek, but somehow love it in Sherlock. I don't mind mpreg in Trek (aliens making Jim get pregnant are always fucking funny), just not with ABO.
Taking it off Tumblr: Debet, I am not sure you'd want to help me with the tags! It's one of my problematic fandoms.
I understand your concern. On the other hand, I am a tag wrangler on Ao3, which involves not only seeing all the tags on all the fics in my fandoms* (and crossovers. wtf, Hetalia?), but sometimes investigating to figure out what the hell the author intended with a tag ("That's...that's not how you words. That's also not how you bodies.") And, with that disclaimer, I will defer to your judgement and comfort level.
* I recently picked up Five Nights at Freddy's, which is a jump-scare video game featuring Chuck E Cheese-like animatronics. The fic in that fandom...even having wrangled Sherlock...I mean...damn.
And for anyone still reading, if any of you ever need help figuring out Ao3 tags for a fic, I am more than happy to help. It's one of the few fannish skills that I feel like I actually do have particular expertise at (in? insert appropriate preposition).
wtf, Hetalia
I have been doing that for years.
I bow to your tag-wrangling skills. That job is insane.
I'm actually really enjoying it. Making order out of chaos is fun.
