I am extremely excited to announce that my Yuletide gift this year inaugurated the Crossroads Series tag on the AO3: Let us go then, you and I, a fic about how vet student Laurie and a vengeful warrior Griffin met and entered into a tragic interspecies relationship that by the time the actual books begin is in full swing and never explained!

Laurie would never, later, admit this to him, but her very first thought was: Aslan?

"I won't refuse it," Laurie said. Thought: I deeply resent how much less fun being the heroine of a doomed romance is, compared to reading about it at thirteen.

I'M SO HAPPY.


As you may remember, I rediscovered the Crossroads books, an obscure portal fantasy series about vet students who go perform minor surgeries in a constantly endangered fantasyland, earlier this year. I had no expectations that I would ever receive fic for it; a million thanks to my mystery author for proving me wrong.

While we're talking about books I loved in the 90s: one of my other best holiday presents this year was a set of Fionavar Tapestry cover art, from genarti. I'm mentioning this because a.) I'm extremely delighted b.) I NEEDED A SEGUE AND HEY, HAVE WE ALL HEARD ABOUT THE FIONAVAR TV SERIES? I am still trying to sort out how I feel about this, but I definitely have some basic requirements:

- amazing 80s hair for everyone, but especially Kim
- I expect serious commitment to the tragic Arthurian threesome and by that I mean Arthur and Lancelot had better make out by the end
- the CBC had better not cut Dave's law notes, the best joke in the series
- if Paul doesn't make someone cry in the first episode then honestly what is even the point

FIONAVAR FRIENDS, please tell me your hopes, fears, and dreams about this thing that is apparently happening!

ETA: And now I have a surprise Madness treat as well! Conversations with Righteousness, which very impressively manages to explore a whole bunch of the things I most wanted to see about Orth and Aria and Righteousness and The Shadow Of Ibex in several quick readable chatlogs.

Orth: Do you want to remember where you end and Righteousness begins? Here’s my advice, for whatever it’s worth: remember where your costume ends and you begin. Yours isn’t a suit, but you’ve still got one. Don’t become it.

A YULETIDE THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. :DDDD
