Eat, Drink, and Make Merry Reveals and Recs

I wrote four stories for Eat, Drink, and Make Merry:

A Hole in the World. Dark Tower - Stephen King. The ka-tet finds another portal. Or rather, a portal finds them. AKA: Roland vs. a Red Delicious apple.

The Butterfly and the Moth. Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin. Penthe and Arha share a stolen moment, along with some stolen food.

Courting Gifts. Narnia. Edmund and Aravis make each other courting gifts.

Ice. Torchwood. Owen takes care of Tosh after [spoilers].

I really enjoyed reading through the collection. There were a ton of excellent stories, and I haven't even finished the collection yet. In addition to my own gifts which I recced earlier, I particularly enjoyed...

Star Trek: The Next Generation. A Serious Thing by flowerdeluce. Will Riker and Deanna Troi's relationship, viewed as a sequence of encounters with chocolate or things vaguely resembling chocolate. Delightful and very Star Trek.

Star Trek: The Original Series. Fruits of Victory by cyphomandra . Nyota Uhura and Christine Chapel steal away for some experiments with alien fruit, and very non-experimental kissing. Delicious and sensual, also very Star Trek in feeling.

Torchwood. All the stories. sholio and scioscribe outdid themselves. Seriously, all of them are glorious. There's a dark, spooky, sensual Suzie/Gwen story. There's a truly epic "forced to gladiate by aliens" story with bonus emotion-and-senses link. There's an intimate and emotional "Owen the saves the team from their own worst nightmares" story. If you like the fandom, go forth and enjoy.

Twin Peaks. Summer at the End of Time by scioscribe . Utterly gorgeous, painterly Audrey/Cooper story set between seasons 2 and 3.

Umbrella Academy. Alone and A Lone by listlessness. The apocalypse was averted, and Grace and Luther remain in the mansion. A lovely, touching story about two people alienated from their bodies who slowly come together over the rituals of home and food.
