YuleTide Recs

[maevebran]

First let's start with my two very lovely gifties. They were two very different takes on the same prompt.

What's Your Number?
Be The Change
Colin lived in his apartment for almost four years before he ever said more than a “Hello,” or “Good morning,” to the girl in 6C, Allison Darling.

A very nice non linear telling of Colin's point of view of the events of the movie with some exploration of his past as it relates to why he is the way he is with women and how that changes with Ally.
Be aware that it is rated Explicit for a very good reason.

Someone Like You
Ally and Colin find a way through.

Colin and Ally continue their relationship in a very fun and sweet way. (With a lot of Colin walking around naked.) Rated Teen and up.

Now for my other recs-

Marvel's Avengers Movie RPF
A Spring Fling
New York City, where every weekend is marathons of Halo and the coming of the Thor baby.

Now I normally stay far, far away from RPF since I deem actors people and therefore entitiled to their privacy like any other person, but I have a soft spot for Chris Evans and when I read he was paired with Scarlett Johansson I had to read it. I'm glad I did since this is sort of cracky and fun and definitely charatures of the real people and not them themselves (but still totally with in what little we know of their personalities.)

AO3 Tags
The Bar at the End of the Fandom
PWP walks into a bar...

I seem to like me a good anthropomorphic fic and this is a good one. Somehow all the tags are in character if you ever imagined the tags to have characters. My only problem and it is a small one is the use of gender neutral pronouns. I pronounce words in my head as I read and when I get to words I don't know I make something up and "Hir" pronounces in my head like "her" so I get frustrated and think why don't they just use "His" and "her" already and avoid the confusion and frustration.

Push
Kick at the Darkness
Cassie and Nick go on a Division-sponsored road trip. Cassie kicks at a few things.

A very fun and adventurous road trip fic of Nick and Cassie's in which they finally get together while evading Division. Rated Mature for sex with an underage Cassie (she's like 17)

Love, Like an Hourglass
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.

This is glimpses of Cassie and how she sees Nick each year for the five years it takes to rescue her Mother. It is rated Explicit but no underage warning needed since she is 18 when they get together.

Knitting Anthropomorphic
There's Kinks in this Yarn, But It Still Knits Up Fine
The diary of a circular needle who just cannot STAND the thought of knitting another *(@#ing scarf. Luckily, KnitLife.com exists.

A very fun (and slightly porny) secret diary of a pair of knitting needles. My one draw back is the gender neutral pronouns. I pronounce words in my head as I read and when I get to words I don't know I make something up and "Hir" pronounces in my head like "her" and "sie" turns to "She" so I get frustrated and think why don't they just use "His" and "her" and "she" and "he" already and avoid the confusion and frustration.
