osprey_archerMERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
I haven't opened my RL presents (my brother hasn't woken up. Do you think it's time to invade his room with a fife and drum corps?) but, after all, I can't share those with you, whereas I can totally share my Yuletide fic, which is delicious. I got a story for the film Amelie!
(Surely you have all seen Amelie? It's a French film about an imaginative, quirky, lonely young woman, Amelie, and her madcap schemes, and her budding relationship with a young man who she has never met, and the movie is funny and a little sad and the cinematography is gorgeous, and Audrey Tatou, who plays Amelie, gives the character so much heart and so much strangeness. I love it!)
I have some reservations about the film's ending, though, which is one of the reasons why I like this fic so much: it shows how Amelie deals with having an actual relationship rather than an extended series of madcap schemes.
Also, it includes beautiful lines like She likes to think it wasn't, that Nino tells his secrets to someone, even if it isn't her. And that his world also has corners which other people can't peer around. And descriptions of food! FRENCH FOOD!!!
So, without further ado: Le mondain futur d'Amelie Poulain.
