Summary
This is my 2003 NaNoWriMo Novel, a bildungsroman about Silthri, a woman who comes to live in the early city that would become Catal Huyuk several thousand years later.

Bookmarker's Notes
Lovely original novella. Starts off joyful, twinges suddenly toward tragedy, and develops satisfyingly into a complex richness. A love story to lives well lived -- and to the interdependencies of urban living.

Loose Ends by binz, shiplizard

Summary
Tying up loose ends is part of Hendricks' job. Sometimes that's not even a euphemism for murder. But this is going to take a personal touch, and Hendricks might get a little tied up in it.

Bookmarker's Notes
We see basically nothing in canon of the damage Dresden leaves behind, except inasmuch as it's "Oh, we all love Harry, and we mourn him so!" This is a great look at the people around him who have to deal with the shrapnel, whether its convenient or not.
And man does it make me want POV Maggie fic. And not "my two gay dads, as seen by Maggie," but middle grade / YA style POV respected main child character, ripped from her home, country, language, and safely mundane life.

Bookmarker's Notes
It should not be possible to make this not be crack, but somehow this is a serious story which is magically true both the spirit of Torchwood and the spirit of Pigs in Space. How does that even work? That's like having a delicious mustard and cabbage pudding with whipped cream. And yet at the same time, It also offers thoughtful critique of character flaws in both Miss Piggy and Jack Harkness. Genius.

Summary
I had been on a walk with Flavian, when Bernard and I were both new. We had run into a salamander, and it had ended with me needing sixteen stitches and Bernard unable to sit down for a week. Christopher did warn me—"I shouldn't go if I were you, Hester; hiking is not one of the mandatory subjects"—but I'd trusted my previous experiences with teachers more than I'd trusted Christopher; and besides, my name isn't Hester.
Christopher and the young enchanters go to the circus. Conrad and Flavian go for a walk in the forest. Things go very wrong.

Long, plotty, in the spirit of the original, developing characters who are only mentioned as set dressing in the source. Wonderful.
I can't speak to the authenticness and respectfulness of the way the non--English magic and culture are used, but they seem respectful to me as an outsider.

Summary
“I’ll be up at the Arkangel,” Noah finishes. “When you lot have finished your grumbling, come up and get your assignments.”
After he leaves, everyone looks at each other, still caught in the moment of silence. As might have been expected, Ham’s the one to break it. “What’s crawled up his exhaust pipe?”
“I think the prospect of a life-ending flood might just have had a moderately deleterious effect upon him,” Rahela says sarcastically. “I can’t imagine why.”

the Flood IN SPACE, but more than that. Character building, politics of cultural exploitation, disability pol of my heart, trans* pol, etc.
But also IN SPACE.

Bookmarker's Notes
I feel the mark of a story to recommended if you were an alpha reader and the story makes you choke up anyhow. This story definitely hits that mark.
The Black Widow might be simple, but Natasha Romanova doesn't even know who she is. It's possible Judaism is a way to cope with that. Muffins definitely are, even on Yom Kippur.
Just the right amount of banter, just the right amount of emotion mixed in with all the emotional detachment, and a rabbi who gets it right even though he's a jackass. Like so many of them are.

Summary
Written for the following prompt: "Someone write me Crowley the bitter lesbian who only gave Eve the apple because she thought feminism should be there from day one." As such, please be warned that this story contains some fairly radical reinterpretations of Biblical stories and themes; if that sort of thing is not for you, please give this tale a pass.

A well-told story tunes the audience as a musician tunes an instrument: we begin skeptical and slack, and then we are slowly tightened and released until we are in perfect pitch.

Gorgeous story about a secondary canon character, with brief moments (Amaar hiding under a desk) to make sure that you never forget the canon, but real, human, non-magical character development.

absolutely perfect rendering of Rory's character and his feelings for Amy, and as perfect a sound choice for the character as Handlebars is for the Doctor's.
