Trick or Treat Gifts!

Full rec post for what I've read in the collection pending (this is a great year and I've already read some great stories and seen some great art). I got an excellent goody bag of delights this year, and I couldn't be happier.

Rag and Bone is a terrifically creepy Carrie ficlet with a haunting premise and a tremendous, moving sadness to it.

Eilonwy Wanderer (Chronicles of Prydain) is the Eilonwy-has-adventures-and-finds-herself story I have always dreamt of--nuanced, beautifully characterized, and perfectly in-tune with canon.

being alive is a dark, hot, terrific Val/Hela MCU story where the Grandmaster takes Hela out of her prison just long enough to give Val a run at her in the arena--to fight and/or fuck. (Noncon warning.)

Tomorrow's Lovers Will Be Found (Twin Peaks) is everything I ever wanted for Audrey/Cooper--a sensual, beautifully-written bit of romance and virginity-loss sex.

These are all absolutely incredible and I can't praise them highly enough.
