Demon's Lexicon porn!. And Demon's Lexicon, uh, parenting. The latter is v. spoilery for Covenant. I love it when people write about the mothers.

Friends Don't Let Friends Suffer Alone, Betty/Veronica.

Your Voice Like a Trembling Sound, about Rilla post-Rilla of Ingleside. This needed writing.

Baby-sitters Club The Next Generation #6: Byron and the God of California. Ok, I haven't read a Baby-sitters Club book in about twenty years - except the first graphic-novelization - but this is spot on, and, also, slash, and, also, very funny. Also, however, long. Also, however, laugh-out-loud funny by the time you get to to the very end.

Nor Custom Stale, a Blue Castle story, made me sympathetic to Olive. Oh, the many powers of fanfic.

Dark Is Rising fanfic! An annual Yuletide treat. The thing with Dark Is Rising fic is that basically everyone is concerned with the same issues, it's just a question of what exactly they do about them. No Second Coming is an optimist take, all over these eyes a storm is rolling over is less so, Winter Follows is maybe my favorite this year, and not particularly optimistic at all.

An Obvious Extension was actually a New Year's fic *last* year. Sorcery and Cecilia foursome porn, kind of insanely hot. Two sequels this year, Nothing At All Unusual, which is shmoop, I guess, and then For Most Unusual Reasons, plotty drama.

And finally, Shadows of the Past is 27K words of Dungeons and Dragons The Cartoon fun.

Okay, so I told Josh I would do a top three or five for him, and here they are. These are picked for Josh in particular, that I think he'll enjoy reading, in fandoms he'll know, but I'm listing them here to highlight them for anyone else who's curious.

You're My Best Friend (And I Love You). Huge, Becca and Chloe, 1100 words. Written for me, so it's possible I'm biased, but honestly I think this is a terrific story. By kyuuketsukirui (who it turns out wrote this really good SGA transgender teen AU I read ages ago).

A Temporary Inability to Go Either Up Or Down. Thief, Gen, 2200 words. By lightgetsin (who you may recall from my Vorkosigan-reccing awhile ago). (Anyone else reading this post: don't read this if you haven't read the books.)

The Heart of the Heart of the World. Two Gentlemen of the Road, 2000 words. By epicycles. (Maybe don't read this if you haven't read the book, either.)

So that's three short ones. For one long one, I'm torn between Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Equitable Agency, 16K words, A Piece of the Continent, Left Hand of Darkness, 14K words, and The Spiral of Lives, Avatar, 20K words, but am ultimately going to have to go with... gah. Humor, drama, action-adventure? Humor! Encyclopedia Brown.

(Chaos, the one long work for you: Baby-sitters Club The Next Generation #6: Byron and the God of California, unless you somehow managed to not read any of these despite being a girl the same age as me.)
