My Yuletide stories
I had a great Yuletide. I got three wonderful stories, and the collection seemed exceptionally good. I'm still reading through my long list of bookmarks.
I wrote four stories this Yuletide.
Dragonlance - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
Leather and Steel. 1896 words. Explicit. Laurana/Kitiara.
My favorite Dragonlance pairing! I think all you need to know to read it is that Laurana is an elf, Kitiara is human, and they're on opposite sides of a war.
This was a pinch hit. Here's the request that made me lunge to snap it up: Honestly, i want these two to just have it out. Tanis is boring and they should realise that. I envision them in a battle, which takes a turn for the... kinky, to be honest. Not enemies to lovers exactly, more like enemies to enemies who sometimes have amazing hate sex. Kit would have no issues teaching this elf a lesson in who is boss, and i feel like Laurana would give back as good as she got.
The Fall of the House of Usher - TV
This is a stylish, gruesome, quotable updating of a bunch of Poe stories into a family saga. If I'd had time, I'd have treated every single request for it.
If you want to read my stories without having seen the series, probably all you need to know is that Verna (an anagram of raven) is a morally ambiguous supernatural being, Arthur Pym ends up as the Usher family's ruthless lawyer/hit man, and Madeline and Roderick Usher met Verna in a bar once and made a deal with her, with disastrous results.

a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime. Arthur Pym & Verna. 1585 words.
An Arctic cosmic horror story. I love cosmic horror but I'd never written Arctic horror before. I had a lot of fun taking the show's hints about their first meeting and creating a story around them. Especially the bit about the hollow world, an old pulp fiction trope that I love and no one seems to do any more now.
There's another take in the collection on the same prompt, The Margin, which I recommend if you like mine.
the miraculous lustre of her eye. Madeline Usher/Verna. 1954 words. Explicit.
Power plays, sex magic, and totally literal flirting with Death.
I love writing dark FF, so it was a treat for me to get to write two of them this Yuletide.
Piranesi - Susannah Clarke
The Sixth Statue. 1890 words.
Matthew Rose Sorensen explores the House. This was my assignment. The request was for House exploration and "Do other animals ever visit?" I never get tired of creating statues for this fandom.
