Yuletide recs: 3 x ANGSTY
If you're seeking light&happy, don't go anywhere near these. Otherwise, enjoy! (and please review!)
Fandom: Fairy Tales (trad)
Title: Toad Dreams [R]
Summary: In her cave beneath the waves, the sea witch dreams her toad dreams.
This one's based on The Little Mermaid (not Disney). Possibly the best backstory ever done for the Witch, in all her vicious vitality; includes flashbacks to her youth. Smooth, powerful writing. Warning for non-con, violence.
Fandom: Another Country (movie)
Title: Pater Noster [NC-17]
Summary: Lead us not into temptation.
Fowler fic alert! Scary-brilliant with a "Gaaah!" and an extra facepalm. Set immediately post-canon - and yes, there's some Fowler/Bennett in there, but it's mostly a tour of Fowler's life and mind. Left me in need of a cup of tea and some fluff.
Fandom: Mythology - Greek and Roman
Title: Small Step For Man [NC-17]
Summary: Artemis/Apollo, as times change. Warning: Incest, references to violence (i.e. it's Greek myth)
The heartbreak of immortality - Artemis across the millennia, all the way to the present. Mortals die, nothing lasts, the world keeps changing, but the gods go on. A striking and very moving account of how this might feel.
