Hello, author! Thank you for your patience while I constructed this letter.

In all 5 cases, these are fandoms for which the original setting is important to me. However, if you have an incredibly clever sideways shift into a slight AU, I'll entertain it (e.g. it's still the Napoleonic Wars but Sharpe and Harper are in the Navy).

We're a third of the way through the year!

This month I wrote 10,714 words. That's somewhat under my goal total for March of 12,740. Luckily I came into this month with a 4300 lead on my goal, so I'll be going into April still 2000 ahead for the year.

I posted two fics this month: Provocateur and Imagining A Tower [Punisher, Frank Castle/Billy Russo]. I also worked on my SmutSwap fic and my Twine game.

IAT was a BIG project - 22000 words - that I've been working on since the start of December. I'm really pleased to have that posted, and that despite a stressful month I averaged 345 words/day.

I spent all day yesterday combing through the Yuletide collection marking things for later, reading and commenting. A good crop this year! For once, I'm stirring myself to make a real rec list. Wow, Dreamwidth, you're making me produce real content. Here's my top recs, in no particular order.

Except that top billing goes to my gift, of course. As with the last year I requested sad Jesuit boys who probably have fleas and tuberculosis. Some kind anonymous person delivered with this:

the downtrodden, [1.5k, Silence,
Francisco Garrpe & Sebastião Rodrigues]
This nails the tone of Silence and pings all the right buttons; it's tragic and full of faith and suffering. You know, the good stuff.

Night comes a calling, [9k, The Night Manager, Jonathan Pine/Richard Roper]
I didn't love the book and I never saw the TV show, so this fic is surprisingly everything I could have wanted from a le Carré fandom! It's dripping with resentment and twisty plot and class issues, and the sex is both weird, hot and super in-character. If you leave your comfort zone for one fic this Yuletide, make it this one.

Old-Fashioned, [6k, The Punisher, Frank Castle/Karen Page]
Some tasty Frank/Karen angst, with a comforting but canon-appropriate ending. A sweet and poignant read.

Prickly Situation, [1.5k, Master & Commander, Stephen Maturin/Jack Aubrey]
Tone-perfect almost-sickfic, with a natural history lesson from Maturin that O'Brian could have written himself.

I Believe the Children are Our Future, [1.3k, BlacKkKlansman, Flip Zimmerman/Ron Stallworth]
I can't believe that I'm going to recommend mpreg but WHOOP THERE IT IS ON MY REC LIST. Guys this is, um, really good. It's really good. You should read it.

Radioactive, [1.8k, Dredd, Cassandra Anderson]
Anderson gets through a lot of partners. A neat story that shows Dredd observing her progress as a Judge, and approving.

adrenaline momentum, [1.3k, Venom, Eddie/Venom]
Venom gets jealous when people smile at Eddie on the street. They, uh, work it out.

Natus Est, [5.8k, Ex Machina, gen]
If you were put off by the ending of Ex Machina, or wanted something more, here it is!

warm bodies, [1k, Venom, Eddie/Venom]
"Cats are kind of like dogs, except meaner and more independent, and they sometimes bring dead things back to their owners as presents."

CATS SOUND SMART.

"You'd think so," Eddie says.

All Set For Extinction, [1.5k, Ex Machina, Ava & Kyoko]
