Yuletide Recs (N-S)

Will I finish my Yuletide recs before author reveals? Probably not. But I’ll try. Here’s N-S!

Misadventures in Babysitting - Parks & Recreation, April/Andy, Leslie/Ben (but really gen), G, 1900 words by epicycles - April and Andy watch the triplets for a day and it goes about how you’d expect.

And All Things Nice - Peter Pan, Gen, G, 4500 words by Fahye - This is getting recced around everywhere and for good reason. Peter as a girl, Captain Hook as a girl, Wendy, er, still as a girl. Just a fantastic look at what it would be like if it were The Lost Girls instead of The Lost Boys.

In Your Dreams - The Raven Cycle, Adam/Ronan, E, 2900 words by Isis - Ronan dreams about Adam and Adam can feel it. Written for me and now that I’ve read all The Raven Cycle fics in the collection, I can also heartily say it’s my favorite one! GOD BLESS MIND-READING TREATERS.

A Strange, Wild Kingdom - The Raven Cycle, Adam/Ronan, T, 7500 words by Isis - Adam and Ronan try waking up some of Niall’s dreams and there’s explosions and stuff. Heh. It very much feels like this could be an Adam-and-Ronan subplot for book 4.

The Smallest Twine May Lead Me - The Raven Cycle, Blue/Gansey, implied Adam/Ronan, T, 4400 words by thenewradical - Blue gets bit by a weird bug and there’s hurt/comfort and magic, and it’s right up my alley. And here’s a fic that reads like it could be part of a Blue-and-Gansey and Blue-and-everyone subplot for book 4! This is the great thing that happens when you get new book canon during sign-ups.

this is a secret proposition, lay your hands on me - The Raven Cycle, Declan/Ronan, NR but I’d say T, 1000 words by darkrosaleen - Ronan does the hurt/comfort thing for his brother after The Gray Man beats him up and it’s pretty awkward and tense. They’re exactly the kind of messed up I go for in incest ships, even if I don’t specifically ship them.

Third on the List - The Raven Cycle, Blue & Ronan gen, NR but I’d say G, 1350 words by sadlikeknives - I like these two as bros, oh yes I do. I also like when fics acknowledge that they’re the least connected of the whole Raven Boys + Blue group.

maybe we’ll kind of get along - The Raven Cycle, OT5-ish gen, G, 2600 words by aflightoffancy - One of those fics where you find your soulmate by finding their matching birthmark. I like those kinds of fics. Hooray for fun tropes written well!

Gravity - The Sandlot, Benny/Smalls, T, 3800 words by carolinecrane - Benny and Smalls go to college apart and it’s not great! Then there’s sweet kissing and tension and stuff. Just a fantastic little future fic.
