seekingferretWho knows if I'll have more later, but we'll call it Yuletide Recommendations 1 just in case.
I'll begin with another recommendation for the fic I received.
Soldiers and Goat Girls - Marriage of Figaro, Rosina/Susanna/Cherubino. Post-canon reunion, hijinks ensue. Figaro remains blissfully clueless of anything Susanna doesn't tell him.
Okay, now other stories I liked:
il catalogo รจ questo - Don Giovanni, Leporello/Don Giovanni. The slow seduction of Leporello by his master, until their purposes are intricately intertwined. Slow seduction of the reader, too, until they can understand what motivates the duo.
Chai! or, the Unhappy Cafe -Richard Francis Burton RPF. The Richard Francis Burton barista AU. I don't need to say anymore.
Elizabeth Bennet and the Pandemonium Undertaking - Jane Austen's Fight Club Written in a delicious fusion of Palahniuk's crunched style and Austen's florid wit, this is feminism with a sense of humor and a vengeance.
Scenes from a Cultural Exchange, or The Muppets Take New Burbage - Slings and Arrows/ The Muppets Suffice it to say, Geoffrey does not do well with things that look like hallucinations but aren't. Darren does. And Maria finds a kindred spirit.
His Master's Voice - Lord Darcy - At the moment my favorite of all the stories I've read. A great prequel casefic for the Lord Darcy series of fantasy mysteries, introducing Mary, Dowager Duchess of Cumberland.
Texts from Cephalopods - Octopus Steals My Video Camera and Swims off with It While It's Recording (Youtube) - My second favorite Yuletide story so far. The hilarious adventures of a drunken octopode.
Role Model - Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries I'm not sure why I liked this so much. I guess it's just that the characters felt so real and so human, and Saint-George became something more than a cartoon.
