Yuletide 2011 fic recs part 9: Q, R, S

Put One Foot in Front of the Other, a Queen's Thief story (the Megan Whalen Turner series). As always, don't read this if you haven't read all of the books.

Letting Go. More Queen's Thief, an unexpected POV, lovely and sad.

Etch out a Future of Your Own Design. Real Genius slash, Mitch/Chris, but with really good Mitch/Jordan, and there's sex, but it's not really about the sex, it's about... grad school, and figuring out your life, and I loved it. 13K words.

Time's Arrow. A Mary/Dickon Secret Garden story. Sex, and class issues.

Inghinidhe na hEireann, a Secret of Kells story about art, and Aisling.

The Pleasures of Quiet Society. Very short Sense and Sensibility piece about why anyone would marry Willoughby.

Awfully Queer to Me. Okay, look: read the tags. Did you read the tags? Are you *sure*? I thought this was pretty funny, but I'm a bad person like that. Sesame Street porn.

movie rec: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

I really enjoyed it. I can see why I haven't seen tons of fic; what more is there to even *say*?

Demographic quiz: who sees a December action movie in a second-run theater in February? Answer: meee! Also older people; until a couple of young guys came in at the last minute, I was guessing I was the only person under fifty in the theater.
