Yuletide Recs 2009: Part I
Dec. 28th, 2009 10:01 pmI decided to read the middle column of fandoms first. These recs come from those fandoms. Enjoy!
Ghostbusters
Hidden Deep Inside. This is a great plotty story that shows some of the consequences of the first movie, while not losing it's very Ghostbustery feel.
Graceland – Paul Simon
How We Begin to Remember. Guh. If I was a skeptic about song fandoms before, I'm not now. This is a lush, vivid, wonderful story inspired by the song and from the POV of the 9 year old. Fantastic work.
Hook
No Need for Fairies. Peter Pan, all grown up and taking responsibility for the things he's done. This was fantastic and Hook was the perfect counterpoint.
Hott Fuzz
After the Explosions. A play by play of what came next, with wonderful characterizations and perfect pacing. Also, this doesn't shy away from the harder parts of dealing with the aftermath of the movie.
DIY For Beginners. Danny can't let Nicholas leave Sandeford because he can't find a lover. So, he decides to switch sexual orientations. Laugh out loud funny, sweet, and endearing.
Yippee Ki Yay, Mother Hubbard. Partners – when they're needed and when they're not. And Nicholas has rubbish taste in films.
Model Village. A truly scary little story about what almost was.
Iron Giant
We Live On In Legend. An epilogue, but so true to the original that it took my breath away (and made me cry a bit).
Iron Man
Chaos Magic. This is Tony Stark, right before Dark Reign, doing what he does best.
The Last Unicorn
Somewhere Between Stories. A beautiful look at Molly and Schmendrick after the story ends (and before another begins!).
Lilo and Stitch
All Your Heart Melodies. Lilo grows up.
The Lion King
All the Lonely Moments. Simba ran away. Others stayed behind and learned how to fight.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
A Little Less Conversation. This was fantastically fun and awesomely spy-full. I loved this!
The Oregon Trail
And Then We Shot the Ox. Serioulsy, one of the best stories of Yuletide thus far. All my love for this one.
Rebekah: The Adventures of a Young Woman on the Oregon Trail. Even though they are all original characters, I was consumed with their journey. Lovely writing.
