fandomtrees haul

***

I was blessed (BLESSED I SAY) by five gifts from [community profile] fandomtrees and now I'm going to brag about them and suggest you go check them out.

I got...

13 November
- an absolute pitch perfect BTS Namjoon/Yoongi friends to lovers ficlet with love confessions via song lyrics (featuring: a solar eclipse metaphor) and Jin being a troll by [archiveofourown.org profile] celli. Utterly delightful.

Moth - a podfic of an old Firefly River/Inara ficlet I wrote to [personal profile] trialia many years ago. The reading by [archiveofourown.org profile] blackglass is gorgeous with lovely measured quality and sassiness when it's needed. As a bonus there is also a beautiful cover by [archiveofourown.org profile] rahvin.

A Very Real Fake Engagement - a delightful MCU fic by [archiveofourown.org profile] DifferentDances where Bruce and Tony get engaged for the legal protection such a move offers Bruce and the Hulk. There is some spot on banter, mutual pining, cake samples and... Actually I don't want to spoil the ending but... what's the other theme I love as much as 'friends to lovers'? Yeah, that one! Took me by surprise and was twice as good because of that :D

Slow Heart - an original f/f fic by [archiveofourown.org profile] theinstinct of a female astronaut and female alien (who is gratifyingly alien indeed) finding connection beyond language in shared curiosity and caring. Beautiful detail, light and hopeful.

A matter of trust - an original m/m fic by [archiveofourown.org profile] Sys of a vampire in need of a master and a 'cherished disappointment' of a merchant's heir who is more than he looks. This is wip and whilst I really hope the author finds the inspiration to continue, it stands on its own and already offers all of my favourite things from power dynamics to kneeling, oh boy.

I'm also super pleased because I managed to create four gifts of my own, all in fandoms I haven't dabbled in before. (and poetry!! omfg i haven't written poetry in so long i wasn't sure i could any more but this poured out so easily)

I gifted...

These icons of Dune book cover art and illustrations

beautifully imperfect - a little Encanto ficlet of Isabela and Mirabel gardening

Gift - a little ficlet of what happened to Harry and Julenissen after the 2021 Posten Norge advert

little red, little dark - a dark twisted poem inspired by Little Red Riding Hood fairytale

The fics and poem will cross-posted to DW eventually when I get around to (sometime next week I'd imagine)
