Sometime in the night, the tide seems to have turned. I am still filled with more snot than one human body should be capable of holding, but at this point I think I am winning the battle. I have been housesitting this week, but tomorrow I get to go home, and much as I genuinely enjoy being here and cuddling with the cats, I think a night's sleep in my own bed will do me a lot of good.

More yuletide! Still haven't so much as scratched the surface of all the yuletide archive holds. I'm not reading these in any sensible order. I never do.

Summary: The curious incident is that there is no dog in the dog park, and Leslie thinks that's really stupid. Ann's pretty sure that argument's going to get her killed.

I was desperately hoping someone would write something for this request. It could've just been fun but this...this somehow manages to nail the tone of both canons perfectly.

Relationships: Wendy Darling/James Hook
Characters: Wendy Darling, James Hook
Additional Tags: World War I, Dreams, Nurses & Nursing, Storytelling, Misses Clause Challenge
Summary: Hook should, perhaps, have died in England and awoken in Hell. Instead, he died in Neverland and awoke in the trenches of 1916 France.

While trying to aid the boys of England, Wendy Darling found herself confronted with a man who had lost his right hand, his past, and his ability to dream.

I'm fascinated how this makes Hook and Wendy seem inevitable, not because of destiny but because who else has experienced everything they have and then come back to this, and survived it all. It is not brutal or violent, but feels like a very true representation of wartime, from Wendy's point of view.

I have been invested in the relationship between these men for a long time. Particularly Kit Marlowe. My username does not come from nowhere. :) And I just love everything about this story.
