Yuletide and dSSS!

[luzula]

I am down in the south of Sweden with family and friends and having a quiet Christmas with great food. No snow at all, although tonight the storm Dagmar, which is supposed to be one of the strongest storms of the decade in Sweden, is coming in. We'll stay inside, and I'm grateful I'm not out traveling.

My Yuletide story:
Our Lady Of The Upside Down (3033 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Hadestown (Musical)
Rating: Mature
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Hades/Persephone
Characters: Hades (Hadestown), Persephone (Hadestown)
Summary: How Hades and Persephone met. A retelling of the myth, set in the world of Anais Mitchell's Hadestown folk opera.

It's got an interesting first-person Persephone voice that really works for me! I love how the first and last lines lead into the songs, and it also has the gritty, post-apocalyptic feeling that canon has. Thank you so much, Anonymous!

My dSSS story:
Notes from the Raven (2569 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: due South
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Benton Fraser/Eric Kitikmeot, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski
Characters: Benton Fraser, Eric Kitikmeot, Ray Kowalski, June, Innusiq
Summary:

Dear Ben:

Are we still friends?

Eric

I love the feeling of family and community in this fic, and that the connection between Ben and Eric goes way back. And it's an epistolary story, too, which I love! Thank you so much, Anonymous. Hmm, if I'm to guess who wrote it, I would tentatively say primroseburrows. But there are lots of people in the exchange this year whose writing styles I don't know, so I'm not at all sure.

I think my dSSS story should be guessable, though I don't think it's obvious. My Yuletide story is quite typical of me and you should be able to guess that it's mine if you happen to come upon it, but that's a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. Do feel free to guess at my stories! : )
