tree_and_leafAn odd carriage. A brief cross-over: Emily Dickinson meets Death (THE ONE THAT TALKS LIKE THIS).
Galaxy Quest Episode 57: "The Fairest of Them All". Galaxy Quest: an excerpt from an episode guide. Very funny!
The Alien Lover. Galaxy Quest again, and a backstory for Laliari. Fluff, and "kind of the opposite of tentacle sex", as the author says.
Harmless. Discworld, with a very funny riff on Asimov: what do you get if you cross a golem and the three laws of robotics?
The Escapists. Emily and Anne Bronte get a day out in York. I'm not sure about some of the period detail (I doubt that York Minster smelled of incense in 1845), but it's a lovely fic all the same.
Bolts of Iron. Vorkosigan Saga. Some key incidents in the lives of Pierre and Miles Vorkosigan.
Yip et non. This is what I get for muttering to myself about being sick of fic about Peter bloody Abelard, because this piece of inspired lunacy is hilarious. I can't better the summary: Abelard and Bernard are pomeranians and they have been bad.
Experiments In Intelligence. (Fandom: Octopus Steals My Video Camera and Swims off with It While It's Recording (Youtube). A really rather good exploration of what the octopus might have been thinking...
Scymnus Diaboli". (These Old Shades/ Devil's Cub) I should warn that this contains sexual assault and an attempted rape (it's hurt comfort, though thankfully without Magical Healing Cock - it's gen), but the Heyer pastiche is really pretty good.
She Will Place on Your Head a Graceful Garland; She Will Bestow on You a Beautiful Crown . Hebrew Bible; Bathsheba and Abigail. A very good fic about women in a patriarchal society and the temptations of power, with an excellent Abigail (and a very convincing Michal). My favourite fic of the batch, and worth it even if you're a bit foggy on Kings and Chronicles or not that interested in the Bible.
The Man in the Gaberdine Suit. American Gods. I'm not entirely sure Shadow would make the choice he does at the end of this fic, but it does capture the feel of American Gods very well indeed.
