Trick or Treat fics

The trickortreatex fics have been revealed! I wrote three, my main story and two treats.

First, for my recipient: Something Old, Something New, an Ella Enchanted fic about Ella’s first few weeks living in the palace, between her engagement to Char and their wedding. She’s still getting used to living without the curse that forced her to be obedient, and navigating when and how to obey now that she doesn’t have to; and also dealing with the fact that she’s now a princess, which means that people have to obey her.

I also wrote two treats. First, The Wolf’s Tale, which actually a rewrite of a story I wrote in eighth grade, a fairy tale retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood” from the wolf’s perspective. It’s a pretty simply reversal – rather than the wolf gobbling up the womenfolk, only for them to be rescued by the manly woodcutter, the wolf flees in terror from Red who is an ax-wielding fiend – but I had a lot of fun with it both times I wrote it.

And finally, Trick or Treat a Psych fic about the annual Santa Barbara police station Halloween party. I had a bit of trouble making this fic work, but once I came up with a reason for Shawn and Lassiter to dress up as Little Miss Muffet and the spider it all came together nicely.

The story also features Gus in a pirate costume, Juliet in a dirndl, and cameos by everyone (except Woody. Sorry, Woody) including the Dread Pirate Roberts, who as entwashian pointed out to me is clearly Pierre Despereaux, the dashing art thief played by Cary Elwes. What is he doing at the Santa Barbara Halloween party? I DON’T KNOW. Clearly it’s part of a long con.
