Trick or Treat Recs

I scored this fic exchange. I got three stories and two drawings, all fantastic. There's tons of great fic and art in the archive; go browse!

My Gifts

Constructive Criticism. Hamilton. Hamilton red-pens Burr's duel invite, because of course he does.

The Thirteenth Pint. Hamilton. Hamilton in the afterlife.

certain fathoms in the earth. The Dark Tower - Stephen King. For Gabrielle, another turn of the wheel.

Not to Scale. Voltron. Shiro gets an unusual jack o'lantern.

Burnt-out Ends. Saiyuki. Sanzo and Hakkai share a cigarette.

General Recs

Persephone. Carrie - Stephen King. Short, sharp, gorgeously written, Angela Carter-esque mythic take.

Egress. LA Confidential. Ed Exley in a haunted carnival of the mind. Very well-written in a classic noir style.

You've Got That Kind of Mouth. LA Confidential. Ed Exley and Jack Vincennes undercover in a gay bar; lives up to the title.

Dead Devotion. Original work based on the character nominations "Half-orc in search of an honorable death," "long-abandoned sentient ship," and "ghost cat." I mean. How can you resist that premise? This original fantasy is a hugely enjoyable exercise in D&D-ish orc culture worldbuilding, with very likable characters and a solid plot.

Deliverance. Game of Thrones. The ghost that was once Robb Stark does not like weddings. The reunion of Robb and Arya, poignant and satisfying; clever use of canon elements.
