Yuletidemas!
Yuletide was unleashed today and I have received three glorious gifts!
The first two are for Dick Francis's book Smokescreen, which I read (and loved) just in time to slip under the wire as a request, and I got TWO fics for it, both of which are beautifully in character and also very tender, and fill in much-needed aftermath (and h/c) following the book's satisfying but abrupt ending. They are very reliant on having read the book and also spoil its ending, so it's probably not something that you'd want to read without canon knowledge. But the book is pretty short and still in print and recommended! And these are the first-ever fics for it, as far as I know.
The Fabric Shears, The Plastic Chair (2200 wds, gen)
Evan and Conrad take care of Link immediately after the events of Smokescreen.
climax and denouement (3300 wds, Link/Evan, M)
At the end of Man in a Car, Evan had praised Link's performance only begrudgingly. Link probably thought that was because they’d disagreed so much on Link’s acting choices. In actuality, it was because he’d known one more successful project would not convince Link to work with him on another. They’d made something brilliant together, and now Link was going to ride off into the sunset and never collaborate with him again. He wondered if that was still the case now.
And I also got a fun, WWI-era Biggles AU with the absolutely brilliant idea of Biggles as a sort of airplane whisperer who has a psychic bond with his aircraft. Why has this never been done before, I ask.
Camel's-Eye View (1200 wds, sort of Biggles/EvS-ish)
The Sopwith Camel has Opinions about Biggles' obsession.
