healingmirth: Coca-Cola bear with Yuletide text (yuletide)
[personal profile] healingmirth
If you ever believe anything that I have posted in this journal, believe me when I say that I am delighted - DELIGHTED - and I do not use that word... uh... lightly. Anyway. Very much enamored of the stories that I received for Yuletide. I can't decide where to go next in the archive, because while I am sure there are hundreds if not thousands of stories that I could enjoy with a minute on wikipedia to look up the character names, this stories are MINE from canons that are dear to my heart for various and sundry reasons, and this is definitely luck rather than anything I have ever done to deserve them or will ever do to be worthy of the blessing.

Seriously. I am that happy.



Something Better than Before (1999 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Warrior (2011)
Rating: Mature
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Tommy Conlon/OMC
Characters: Tommy Conlon, Original Male Character
Summary:

"Walk away now and you're gonna start a war."



my note: Um, spoilers for the film, I suppose? Though really only in the last two paragraphs. It's just heartbreaking, without necessarily shutting any doors that lock it into truly depressing territory. I think, even if you haven't seen Warrior, but you've seen the desperate loneliness that Tom Hardy can embody in some parts of either Bronson or Wuthering Heights (am I forgetting another of that wounded type of role?) that you can totally imagine how this fic would play on the screen.

Turn a New Page, Tear the Old One Out (8057 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Breakfast Club (1985)
Rating: Explicit
Warning: Underage
Relationships: John Bender/Brian Johnson
Characters: Brian Johnson, John Bender
Summary:

People in Shermer had made up their minds about who John Bender was years ago. All John needed was the chance to prove them wrong.



my note: I don't know whether best beloved mystery author picked up my comment from last year's letter about John joining the army or came up with it on hir own, but, just, This. Faaavorite. Seriously, I can't even.

If Plato Is A Fine Red Wine (1808 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Kicking & Screaming (1995)
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Max/Kate
Characters: Max Belmont, Kate, Grover
Summary:

"So you weren't like Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society? All kindly and Walt Whitman-y?"



my note: The dialogue, it sparkles. 5...ish years down the line, Grover and Max talk about everything and nothing, and Chet get's the hilarious b-plot-ish continuation to his story that he so richly deserves.

Relationships: John Bender/Brian Johnson
Characters: John Bender, Brian Johnson
Summary:

Seriously, John, you promised Brian would help with what?



my note: Established-relationship Brian/Bender fic warms my heart, and there is so little of it! By which I think I mean there isn't any, but I will do my semi-annual exhaustive google search soon. Very snappy.
