Yuletide Gifts
I had quite the embarrassment of riches this Yuletide: 5 gifts! All of them wonderful.
A few in John Wick:

This is the clothing porn of my dreams, with a generous dash of mentor/protege thrown in. Gorgeous descriptions and very witty banter.

Summary: “Sit with me,” Mana rasped, and patted the bar stool beside her. “Bring the bottle and another glass, and sit with me. Sit with babulya and she’ll tell you a fairy tale.”
Here's a lovely worldbuild, outside-perspective, nearly-noir fic that is very in keeping with the spirit and aesthetic of the movie. Very mythological.

Summary: It was something Marcus has suggested when John had said his goodbyes. You can never be too careful, he’d said, never know who might stab you in the back. Always have an out.
John in the movies has such a great sense of preparedness and readiness even in retirement, and this fic fills in the blanks of how he went about it. A wonderful worldbuild, and with such lovely cameos from the people in John's life.
Two in Discworld/Thief of Time:
Wayfinding (1918 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Discworld - Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time - Terry Pratchett
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Lu-Tze (Discworld), Marietta Cosmopilite
Additional Tags: Backstory, Yuletide Treat
Summary: All roads lead away from Ankh-Morpork, including the one to enlightenment. It's just that some people choose to walk a different way.
Lu Tze finds his Way, in the best possible way. Some serious laugh-out-loud moments and excellent, excellent Pratchett pastiche. Cut-me-own-throat's cameo made me cackle repeatedly, and Lu Tze's understanding by the end of the fic is a lovely tie-in to how he works so well for the History Monks.

Summary: "The Abbot was quite clear on his instructions. Until he returns to Oi Dong, he wishes for you to act as Abbot in his stead."
Lu Tze gets promoted to Abbot. Need I say more?

Rating: Mature

Relationships: Eric McNally/Sam Miller

Summary: All of Canada is looking for Eric, but Sam is the one who finds him.
Sam and Eric get-together backstory that has lovely bits of both of them throughout. There are lines in the fic that read right out of the movie, and Eric's mental voice is pitch-perfect: far from just a stupid bruiser, but also so confused at the brave new world he's ended up in.

Summary: It was something Marcus has suggested when John had said his goodbyes. You can never be too careful, he’d said, never know who might stab you in the back. Always have an out.
He’s retired. His remaining accounts firmly closed, debts settled.
Still.
John in the movies has such a great sense of preparedness and readiness even in retirement, and this fic fills in the blanks of how he went about it. A wonderful worldbuild, and with such lovely cameos from the people in John's life.
