So… I had kind of a crazy Christmas. Like, I went up early to my mom's and thought that was going to inevitably lead to drama but it didn't… except apparently my stepdad didn't think so?
( cut for mentions of something like domestic violence, of the stepfather variety. Also because no one cares about my drama with my mom. I was a super good person and didn't start any fights though. Basically I deserve a medal )But enough about my mother. How about the fact that I got fired?
( shit about the losing the job I hate )But what about good things? The Hawks got shutout by the Kings, while I watched with my Kings fan family members? No. I went to a Ducks game! Which the Canucks won. Also the place was full of Canucks fans and a bunch of the jags in the section next to mine booed the US National Anethem… though my sister seems to seriously get my love of hockey and wants to make going to a hockey game our new family holiday tradition. So let's call it a wash!
YOU KNOW WHAT WAS AWESOME THOUGH?
yuletide!
I got an awesome story and a kick-ass treat.
Take Me Away (Honey 2, Tina/Maria, Explicit) - So, firstly, this is the hot, ladies-boning fix from a silly dance movie of my dreams, no lies. Like, there is holding down, there is mockery, there is EVERYTHING I LIKE IN FICS! But, in addition to that, my 100% anonymous, mystery author also managed to capture their voices, PERFECTLY. It's honestly not easy, because the way they speak in the movie is stylized almost to the point of absurdity, so the author's ability to get the voices PERFECT without tipping over into being offensive is just, SUPER impressive.
I've got your back, if you've got my hand (Falling Skies, Gen) Set in the universe where HAL IS TOM'S STEPSON, AS IT SHOULD BE! This fix, by another totes anon author is so great. It is EXACTLY the slice-of-life piece I was hoping for when I prompted it AND with the added totes-his-stepson. Hal is so great in this and it almost effortlessly shows how quickly he grew up and how quickly he stepped into a surrogate parent role, when Tom couldn't. I would literally read millions of more words in this verse, because it totally felt like a complete verse, even in only a couple hundred words.
The F**cking Movie Never Motherf**cking Ends (@MayorEmanuel, Gen, Mature) - Literally the greatest thing that came out of yuletide this year. It's a continuation of @MayorEmanuel's activities in the alternate universe. It's so fucking good that I kept telling Abby or Imp in IM that it's not fair that Dan Sinker would write fic for his own creation. IT IS THAT GOOD. Run, kids, DON'T FUCKING WALK.
Extended Options in Twosomes (Community, Troy Barnes/Annie Edison/Abed Nadir, Teen) - Everything about this is great. Troy'd freakout and Annie playing Han Solo and UGH, just, exactly what I want out of this threesome and MORE.
Muddle Through (Hockey RPF, Viktor Stalberg/Marcus Kruger, G) - this was really sweet and I liked it a lot.
Beauty Move (Hockey RPF, Jordan Eberle/Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle/Colten Teubert, Mature) - THIS WAS STUNNING. Like, so perfectly in character and the voices made me want to stab myself in the face with joy. JESUS, literally all I wanted since Hallsy tweeted about Tubes staying with them.
Apparently I didn't bookmark very many fics. LOOK THERE WERE A LOT, OKAY?
