J'arrive après la bataille pour archiver les drabbles écrits dans l'arbre à drabble de Printemps de Chonaku, et qui sont à peu de choses près le total de mes efforts d'écriture pour l'instant cette année. ^^
On notera toutefois une timide incursion dans de nouveaux fandoms : la série Netflix sur le catch féminin GLOW que j'ai dévorée, la série d'animation Transformers Prime parce que je n'avais rien de mieux à faire en mars que de regarder toute la saison 1, et Spinning Silver, le dernier roman de Naomi Novik que j'ai adoré.



Black Panther – Okoye – PG )


Hannibal - Will (Hannibal) - post saison 2 - PG )
Hannibal - Will & Alana - Post-saison 3 )

Transformers: Prime - Starscream et ses rêves de gloire - PG )

GLOW - Sam Sylvia & les filles - PG )

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!

Dear Yuletide writer,

If you don't need prompts or already have an idea, go ahead and write whatever you want, I will be delighted to read pretty much anything in the fandoms I asked for. :)

Couverture d'UprootedOur Dragon doesn’t eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and we’re grateful, but not that grateful.


Uprooted est inspiré d'une légende polonaise, et commence sur un motif qui est familier au lecteur bercé de contes et légendes : des villages paysans dans l'ombre d'un bois maudit, une tour, et dans la tour un magicien - ici surnommé le Dragon - auquel est sacrifié tous les dix ans une jeune fille (généralement la plus belle et/ou la plus accomplie) pour assurer la protection de la vallée…
Et pourtant, raconté du point de vue d'une jeune villageoise, Agnieszka, Uprooted s'éloigne vite de ce point de départ et des préconceptions ou des attentes qu'il pourrait provoquer... )

Amazon c'est peut être le mal, mais le nouveau Naomi Novik que j'avais pré-commandé vient de se télécharger automatiquement sur mon kindle alors que j'avais oublié que c'était aujourd'hui qu'il sortait...
Le mal est vachement efficace.

(Mis à part ça, j'ai commencé à le lire, c'est tout à fait excellent.)

Et dans un autre domaine, j'ai été voir Mad Max : Fury Road, dont je n'entends que du bien depuis sa sortie, et je confirme, c'est grandiose. De l'action à vous en décoller la rétine, une photographie parfaitement maîtrisée, des personnages féminins badass... Whaou. A voir absolument sur grand écran, ça ne rendra pas 1/4 du même effet sur votre télé.
