Yuletide Recs, Part 3
Need to Know Canon
4.66920[...]. Arcadia - Tom Stoppard. An alternate ending in script format, full of sparkling wordplay, absurdity, profundity, mathematics, and love.
A Long Way from the Cromwell Road. Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild. Petrova visits Pauline in Hollywood after the war ends. This story has beautiful imagery and a lot of heart, and brings the characters up to the postwar era in a way that's realistic without being depressing.
The Desert Dreams of a River. The Darkangel - Meredith Ann Pierce. Gorgeous post-series series story that fits with canon while cleverly coming up with ways to undo the more depressing aspects of the actual ending. It has the lush fairy tale atmosphere and style down to a T.
a burning coal of comfort. The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison. When Maia is kidnapped by a faction hoping to halt the construction of Wisdom Bridge, Beshelar, gravely injured, is by his side. It might just be their undoing. A lovely touching story, full of feeling, about friendship, duty, honor, and love.
What's Real. The Wind in the Door - Madeleine L'Engle. Proginoskes has been lost to Meg. She has to find him. A moving look at love and loss, and what is never lost.
