Trick or Treat Gifts
Nov. 7th, 2017 11:27 amI had an absolutely lovely Trick or Treat exchange and received nothing but the best, most personalized gifts. Allow me to heap praise on them in the hours before the anon period ends:
Persephone is a gorgeous, sexy, dark Carrie ficlet, incredibly lush and precise in its language. It's post-movie Carrie/Sue, with Sue dreaming of Carrie as "Prom Queen of the Underworld," and it's amazing.
Dream Sound is a beautiful Puella Magi Madoka Magica fic, Homura/Madoka, and it's a delicious bit of inter-timeline hurt/comfort, with innocence crashing into bruised and battered experience. It's sweet and painful in the best ways.
The Long Way Around is an incredible Hateful Eight Warren/Mannix Groundhog Day AU and therefore sheer catnip to me: it's a perfect blend of serious insight and tropey fun, its characterization is spot-on (including the off-screen character growth!), and it has the world's hottest blowjob scene and also the world's hottest "talking about blowjobs" scene.
The Dance That Won't End is also Carrie/Sue, in a completely different way than "Persephone": this is an aching look at a happier universe where Sue and Tommy looked after Carrie and made things easier enough for her that everyone made it out alive. It's a sweet, nuanced look at a possible future, with a particular detail about Carrie's relationship with God that I find heartbreaking.
Party Games is a delightful MCU fic for one of my favorite rarepairs, Fury/Natasha, and it's a bouncy, awesomely-characterized little bit of fake married with bonus Nick and Nora references and plenty of adorableness.
A completely amazing, delightful, varied haul; a true embarrassment of riches. I'm still struggling to come up with perfect candy metaphors for everything.
