day the seventh
Day the sixth was tragically lost in a time travel accident.
There are vast swaths of the Yuletide collection I haven't made it through yet--there are entire large (for Yuletide) fandoms that I haven't even touched, like Lost Girl and Downton Abbey, and I have a section of tabs of longfic that I set aside for when I have a good chunk of time--so I'm planning to keep doing recs posts after the reveal: now with added authors! But much like writing new year's resolution stories, this is something I always plan to do and never quite manage, so we'll see how that goes this year. I've already done much better with recs than I ever have before, so all things are now possible.
Making Up The Numbers [Red Dwarf]
When you can just hear the characters saying the lines, you know the voices are dead on. And the story is at once fun and compelling and, gradually, very unsettling.
The $64 Question [Clue]
There's just something about this, something that adds a level of heart and realism to the fun farce that is Clue. It raises the stakes for the character, and gets you right under his skin.
Old Devil Moon [Three Men and a Baby]
This is extremely short--a bona fide drabble--but something about it just strikes me in exactly the right way.
Post-Apocalyptic Macbeth On The Moon [Slings & Arrows]
Another drabble--and oh, how it warms my heart when people write actual drabbles--and it's brilliant.
Long and Winding Road [The Princess Bride]
I love the storytelling device here--clever footnotes are my weakness--but it's not just a gimmick. This is excellently done and well told.
