Yuletide Recs

I didn't read all that widely this year, unfortunately, but here are some fics I really enjoyed in my canvassing:

ephemeral thing! do you address me? (1641 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Dialogues - Plato, Symposium - Plato, Classical Greece and Rome History & Literature RPF
On the eve of the City Dionysia, Aristophanes receives a menacing visitor.

A sparkling gem of a thing in with Alcibiades and Aristophanes. My Greek history is very patchy, but even with it being made of swiss cheese, this was a clever and witty read.

What's Real (2380 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle
Proginoskes has been lost to Meg. She has to find him.

A nice evocation of the canon series, this reminded me why I love L'Engel so much; I'm probably going to reread the books because of it.

Person to Person (11565 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: John Wick (Movies)
Wherein Winston and John (but mostly Winston) learn to talk honestly.

A long, slow burn with an excellent, human Winston voice.

Check out the other John Wick fics, Discworld, and Breakfast with Scot I got as gifts; they are all wonderful.
