My brain hurts.

It'll have to come out.
Out? Out of my head?

Um, sorry.

But my brain really does hurt and I'm hoping someone might be able to rec me some stories from this year's Secret Slasha or Yuletide? I want to read good fic but I don't have the energy or patience to go sifting through everything that's available

No rec, but I came across a few Ellis Paul tracks. Are you still in need?

[wesleysgirl.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes please! Thank you.

Make Way For Librarians was really good. Not long at all, but had really good Giles voice and Xander characterization.

Layover was really good too. Really short though.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thank you for the recs! I'll read them today. :-)

have you read swordspoint?

the scholar and the swordsman
and
the consolation of philosophy

(your poor brain. *pets it*)

Oh, *thank you!* I have read Swordspoint and these were both wonderful.

No idea if our tastes are all that similar, but a few highlights from this year's Yuletide:

als Selbstzweck (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/17/alsselbstzweck.html), a beautiful Swordspoint fic, all sharp edges wrapped in pretty prose. If you haven't read the original book, as noted above, you really should.

The First Moving Picture Show (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/16/thefirst.html) is a wonderfully plotty sequel to a very slashy book.

Hair Today (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/18/hairtoday.html) is, despite its rather wince-inducing title, possibly the best Ender's Game vignette I've ever read and captures the rhythm of the book very well.

Heretical (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/19/heretical.html) is a fluffy little Saved piece that balances snark with respect for Mary's faith as well as or perhaps better than the movie.

Thank you so much for the recs! I'm going to read them later today. *Hugs*
