Day 2
Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I love recommending fics and so I already wrote a post reccing my top 10-ish favorites fics read in 2018:
In french: les livres de Fred Vargas, Laputa (Ghibli), The good place, The musketeers, greek mythology, Trône de Fer
In english: Harry Potter, Les Misérables, Fairy tales, Hannibal, Hunter X Hunter, Supernatural, Batman, Black Panther, Lord of the Ring, Transformers
So here is a selection of a few of my last bookmarked fics, which happen to be mostly Yuletide fics. :)
Moonlight:
The seasons change, and so does Kevin's family.
A achingly lovely story about change told through Kevin's daughter point of view, that manage to capture some of that same wordless emotions the movie had, and the slow steps of acceptation. I loved seeing Chiron and Kevin through her eyes.
Temeraire:
Temeraire finds some fox eggs(?) and Laurence tries to determine why Tharkay is avoiding him.
I absolutely loved this story and it's subtlety at handling Laurence and Tharkey's relationship while wheaving some more thematic ideas through the plot.

Temeraire and Iskierka want to get Tharkeay a christmas present and go about it in a a very... draconic way.
Draconic (il)logics are at their finest in this story, which makes it absolutely hilarious and yet weirdly canon-compliant.

The Left Hand of Darkness
Therem survives crossing the border but spends some time detained in Orgoreyn. Genly gets him back.
I read The Left Hand of Darkness for the first time this year, and this story works as a fix-it because it doesn't actually try to fix everything but the most obvious point and really adresses the messy afterneath of trauma while still being a happy ending. I also enjoyed the interesting angle it took to adress the canonical ambiguity of Genly and Therem's relationship.
Venom
The first time Eddie suggests they have sex, Venom is, more than anything else, extremely confused.
A lovely fic full of cultural differences and relationship negotiations.
Eddie’s pulse is racing, like it was when Venom first saw ‘her.’ Anne. The ‘her’ they like. The ‘her’ they protect. She is not with them now, but Eddie’s heart still runs.
Eddie doesn't like Christmas, but Venom really likes celebrating things.
A perfect anti-christmas story. :)

The Good Place
What happens when Tahani does, in fact, take Eleanor up on her offer to stay with her in her Sydney motel room.
An excellent fork-in-the-road AU, both sweet, solid plot-wise, a bit tropey in the best way and very in character with both Tahani and Eleanor's flaws, but also their evolutions. Also funny, and hot, sometimes at the same time. :)
In which Janet assigns herself (status=happy).
A lovely character-study on Janet and her evolution, with a strong narration voice.

Uprooted
An extended epilogue after Sarkan returns to the valley.
A lovely and very satisfying epilogue!

What We do In the Shadows
Vladislav goes viral. The Beast is not impressed.
In which Vlad discover the power of self-actualisation through internet feedback. A very fun story!
