Yuletide recs 2015 part VII

not throwing away my shot. A post Grosse Pointe Blank look at Martin and Debi.

Heavylanders Never Learn. Girl Genius, about Klaus, and Skifander. I've more or less given up hope on ever finding out anything more about the central mysteries of Girl Genius - forget the A plot, we're bogged down in, like, the R or S plot - but this is a lovely callback to the days when the comic was actually about the characters I cared about.

Relocation. The most heartwarming Ghostbusters story ever.

Insoluble. I liked this one too, in which Egon is ace and Peter is curious.

Peace & Purring. Goblin Emperor, Maia/Csethiro, wedding rehearsals. Sweet and lovely.

Three-part Invention. Goblin Emperor, post-canon, a rumor.

An Account of an Evening Aboard a Train, in which Certain Truths are Revealed. I sometimes find Maia/Csevet too unlikely, given their roles, but this is a fantastic treatment of it, and a delight to read.

A Different Sort of Friends. Maia/Cala/Beshelar, very explicit, good if you're into that sort of thing.

The Alternator. A Fountainhead fix-it; excellent if you're into that sort of thing.

Better Late Than Never. Edge of Tomorrow, about life after time loops, 15K.

The Dark Places of Gont. Tenar and Ogion, not long after Atuan.

A Song for Ruatha. Menolly, shortly after Dragonsinger. 23K, gen, felt just like the books.

I thought we came back to the A plot of Girl Genius like a few years ago (and stuck to it for a while), so now we're only bogged down around a B or C plot. Or maybe I've completely lost track of what the A plot ever was. (Girl Genius has its virtues, but pacing has never been one of them.)
