skygiantsHappy Yuletide, everyone! There are three stories floating out there in the archive that do not yet bear my name and one of them does in fact use the phrase "their tongues battled for dominance" for the first and last time in my writing career, so good luck hunting them down.
For my gift, I received -- after requesting it several time, and then giving up for several years, and then throwing it out once more this year as a last desperate call -- an absolutely pitch-perfect fic for L.J. Smith's The Night of the Solstice/Heart of Valor duology:
The Best We Have
“I don’t believe it! You thought you’d make use of our nine-year-old sister? On, what, the off chance that some random rabbit or deer could help you out --”
“It’s not like you’ve never done it,” Janie says.
This is literally a fic I've been dreaming of for years, these kids have one of my favorite sibling relationships in fiction and this story nails the dynamic to a T. I have no idea if it would work without canon knowledge but I am definitely about to once again reread and write up the books, so, you know, first and second steps ....
And, in other Yuletide updates, I have received the extremely delightful news that there are also four Yudah Cohen fics in the Yuletide archive this year -- as a personal rule I do not read fic for my own stuff myself but I'm beyond thrilled to know they exist!!!
ETA: never mind about personal rules, I have been specifically invited to read Rabbi Shaina Cohen Shows Great Patience and Fortitude and we're following vampire rules now. anyway it's one of the absolute best things I've ever read in my life and whether you have or have not read or enjoyed any of my Yudah Cohen stories please go check it out, I'm sitting here simultaneously dying with laughter and clutching my heart with five million feelings.
R' Shaina Cohen (she/they)
radradrabbi
Hate to poop the party, but there is no evidence that Judah/Yudah/Yehuda Coen/Cohen/Cohn existed
He's an archetype of Jewish folklore, like Shlemiel (the fool) or Hershele (the prankster)
