Yuletide Recs #1

I'm slowly working my way through the Yuletide collection. There's some fantastic fic in the fandoms I know – have some recs!

not mine

Andor | Vel Sartha/Cinta Kaz | T-rating | 2.9k

Excellent Cinta voice, and it really digs into the tension of her relationship with Vel and their different approaches to the rebellion. I also love the links it draws between Cinta and Cassian.

moses (slow of speech and of a slow tongue)

Attack the Block/Doctor Who | Moses, The Master, The Thirteenth Doctor | T-rating | 3k

This really gets Moses as a character. He's taciturn, observant, and smart. The crossover elements work seamlessly – I've been hoping for a crossover between these two fandoms for ages and this really works.

Major Opportunity

Blackadder Goes Forth | Blackadder/Darling | T-rating | 3k

I'm envious of the character voices here – everyone is spot-on, and it really captures the absurdity of a Blackadder episode. It's genuinely very funny.

And dig for us as we have done

The Detectorists | Lance & Andy | G-rating | 3.3k

This just feels like an episode of the show. The interplay between Lance and Andy is great, and the whole thing really captures that warm, late summer vibe.

The Half-Seen Door

The Green Knight (2021)/Piranesi | Piranesi, Sixteen, Gawain | G-rating | 1k

This is written in sonnets and it's amazing. So dense with allusion and reference, with a strong sense of rhythm and rhyme that really has something to say about the characters.

The Lai of Sir Gawain

The Green Knight (2021) | Gawain/Bertilak de Hautdesert | T-rating | 3.9k

A beautiful post-canon fic that really captures the strange melancholy of the movie. The slow deepening of the central relationship is really well done.
