Tides of Yule

misuraI made out like a bandit, or a pirate, or a what-have-you this year:
The Racing Rats, which is 8K (!!!) of awesomeness. If any of you have read the Malazan Book of the Fallen, you should go and read this fic which is awesome and made of awesomeness, and did I mention yet that it's 8K (!!!)? (Kellanved and Dancer walk into a bar. There is no punchline.)
Dead and Breakfast, which is 4K (!!!) of assassins. Specifically, it's Han and Victoria from the RED movies. (Right now, the only comment on this is mine, and I feel a bit bad about that. I mean, assassins! A bed and breakfast at a lake with kayaks! Explosions! Why am I the only one who left a comment on this? At least three other people requested this ship, too.)
Five Times Jack Couldn’t Talk About Love, which is a full length Madness gift for Jack/David from Kings and all about how their relationship basically runs on David's stubbornness and Jack's actual ability to recognize a good thing and not quite screw it up in spite of himself.
Two bonus recs that may actually involve fandoms people know:
Arise the Sun (Rejoice!) (Ladyhawke fanart)
Hexarchate Board Game Club (Machineries of Empire cracky gen)
My recipient left a nice, all caps comment an hour or so after the collection opened, and then a day later they left another one, so I'm quite happy with what I wrote for my assignment, too. I've also managed to cross 'Get a kudos and/or comment from someone on your f-list' off my Yuletide bingo card, which always makes me happy even when I wonder if they recognized me (and felt obliged to make an effort to say something).

Date: 2018-01-05 09:47 am (UTC)I can imagine the size of Malazan being a bit daunting, yes - I had the advantage of starting when there was only one book, making this one of the few series that I picked up while on-going that actually got wrapped. (At some point, I tend to lose interest in a series that just keeps going and going - Vlad/Dragaera being the exception.)
