skygiantsYuletide reveals!
My main assignment was Supplemental Lectures, a Sungkyunkwan Scandal Moon Jae-shin/Gu Yong-ha fic featuring cross-dressing, rooftop-jumping concubines, and an irritable revolutionary aunt. In other words, it is enormously self-indulgent and very clearly has my fingerprints ALL OVER IT.
I loved writing this and my only regret is that I couldn't write literally everything else thatteleidoplex requested as well because I matched on ALL their prompts and they were all SO GOOD; if I'd had time I definitely would have rewatched Faith: The Great Doctor to write the Evil Time-Travelers Flail Into The Future Fic as well but as it is I barely made it all the way through the 20 episodes of SKKS before it was time to buckle down and actually write the fic. Maybe next year!
Let's Get Together is a pinch-hit I picked up for Jane the Virgin because I wanted to write Jane/Petra, and then immediately instead found myself writing futurefic set in a hypothetical tenth or eleventh season starring Mateo, Anna and Elsa, and a diamond heist. It is total nonsense and I made myself laugh a lot while writing it (although halfway through I realized what I ought to have been writing all along was the reverse Parent Trap briefly referenced in this fic, in which Anna and Elsa realize that Petra/Jane/Rafael have sorted out a functional threesome, panic about having to deal with a United Parent Front, and immediately launch an elaborately complex scheme to break them all up. But maybe now someone else will write that for me! :D)
And the third fic I wrote was And So The Garden Grew, a surprise Lord Peter Wimsey gift forgenarti about Mary Wimsey Parker taking on a case for Mrs. Grimethorpe. This required GREAT STEALTH on my part, as Gen has been staying with me since early December. I reread Clouds of Witness during my lunch breaks at work, started the fic on Christmas Eve while she and her family were at church, and then finished it up later that night when she was literally in bed next to me -- fortunately izilen had asked us to stay up betaing her lovely Gokusen fic Tuesday Afternoon while she finished writing it, so I had an excuse for being awake and typing industriously in a Google doc until 2 AM, without which I probably would not have finished and definitely would not have escaped detection.
Anyway, the next morning Gen woke up and was like "I have a Mary Wimsey and Mrs. Grimethorpe fic! :DDD" and I said "Oh, great! ...who's Mrs. Grimethorpe?" and have successfully managed to keep up the masquerade until reveals this very morning. Who said I've got no poker face?
Thank you togenarti, izilen, newredshoes, aquamirage, innerbrat and saramily for reading and commenting on various drafts of various things, and thank you also again to vass and joking for my delightful Yuletide gifts!!! (vass, I had no idea that was you, I am CRACKING UP, that fic was a joy and a wonder.)

Date: 2018-01-03 05:59 pm (UTC)and now I'm like, of COURSE it was amazing because bookelfe is amazing (I think I first started following you because of Damselfish? Or possibly because of Sovay). I loved your posts on the fashion in You're Beautiful, and you're basically the reason I watched Age of Youth.
Thank you so much for my wonderful gift and for all the great kdrama posts you do!!!
