yuletide treasure

Happy Yuletide, everyone!

My anonymous author wrote me Debris From Ancient Ruins, a fic for The Mummy about Ardeth during WWII. I was delighted they took up my prompt of Ardeth vs Nazis! Though it's more complex and bittersweet than my flippant prompt, dealing with changing times and the losses of the Medjai.

I haven't read a ton of fic yet, but two of the longer fics I've read turned out to be my favorites:

The Lost of Winter (Goblin Emperor, 20K) - in which a lost mongoose at the Vermilion Opera leads Thara and Tomasaran into a very true-to-canon casefile. With gorgeous writing and character voices, this feels like a little canon novella slipped in right after The Grief of Stones.

a key that winds through secret wards (Nine Worlds, 12K) - in the aftermath of the Emerald Conspiracy, Cliopher has to prove his innocence by magically sharing memories with His Radiancy. Great premise with lots of THEM feels.
