scioscribeFirst off, and most importantly, my gift was written by Bobcatmoran (To Taran of Caer Dallben) and my treats by Edonohana (You Take Your Choice at This Time), atheilen/herowndeliverance (I'm the new blue-blood), and skazka (And Her Hair in Golden Fire). Many heartfelt thanks to all of you, and doubled recs of all four stories.
I matched to linndechir on The Hateful Eight and wrote them Who's Got Who, Warren/Mannix developing relationship, porny, with riding crops, and because they made another one of their fandoms, the Korean movie Inside Men, sound like something I would like, I also watched that, and since it was something I liked, I wrote them Inside Men first time with repression and banter, Worth a Second Look.
For bygoshbygolly, I wrote She Got Down on Her Knees, for Queenpin, one of my favorite Megan Abbott novels. It's noir femslash, and I had an incredible time doing the voice for it.
For yasaman, I wrote Allegiance, a Moonlight fic that's a look at Chiron/Kevin in the aftermath of the movie, tentatively feeling out what they're allowed to want and also making breakfast.
For havisham, I wrote Lilies, fic for the terrific The Innocents, one of my favorite horror movies of all time (an adaptation of Henry James's great The Turn of the Screw). It's Miss Jessel's POV before and, in a weird way, very slightly during the movie; psychological horror with Victorian sexual weirdness.
I was really intrigued by Deepdarkwaters's letter from 2016 talking about Hans Christian Andersen, and when I saw that they repeated those prompts this year, I picked up an Andersen biography, found him immensely endearing, and wrote them A Required Notation, about Andersen's relationship with ballet dancer Harald Scharff.
For Amazing_E_ko, I wrote By Degrees, Mansfield Park Fanny/Mary slow burn. I hadn't read that novel in years, and damn, are those two intensely shippy. I loved revisiting the book with that lens in mind.
I have a weakness for the Criterion Collection, so when I picked up Design for Living in one of the recent 50% off sales, I wrote Animal, Vegetable, Mineral for quietcuriosity. It's OT3 post-canon happiness for one of the most blatantly OT3-esque movies of all time.
For Snickfic, I wrote A Scrap of Velvet, a post-canon dark fairytale-esque adventure fic for Frances Hardinge's excellent novel Cuckoo Song.
For SoundandColor, I wrote No Peace in the Kingdom of Women, a Sue/Carrie Carrie AU that's a fix-it that's still messed-up in its own right.
For triplesalto, I wrote Wodehouse f/f, Honoria/Madeline, How Else Would Sailing Ships Ever Have Navigated?, which is light and fluffy and has a joke that's entirely based on how many times I had to look up how to spell Madeline's name.
For atheilen/herowndeliverance, I wrote No Glossy Surface, for A Little Life. It's a Jude/JB fix-it of sorts, and at no point was it not entirely obvious to my dear recip that I was the one who wrote this for her.
For gaialux, I wrote Inglourious Basterds fic, Soul Like a Knife, which has a trans Shosanna dealing with forged papers, cinema ownership, and falling in love with Marcel.
For Edonohana, who also probably guessed my authorship right away, I wrote For Glory or an Early Death, a Dark Tower/The Stand crossover with Nadine/Dayna and a journey to Mid-World. I scrapped so much of this in the middle section and had to keep revising it up until the last minute, but the title at least got improved from the boring "Safety" to what it is now.
And, finally, for The_Wavesinger, I wrote Wonder Woman Antiope/Menalippe, Antiope/Hippolyta fic, Expertise Other Than in War. This one is half complicated longing for a sister who is also quite literally your other half and half chastity belts.
