A Certain Slant of Light

The Yuletide reveal is upon us! I can finally share my fics!

I defaulted on my main story (I'm hoping to pull myself together and write it as an NYR), but I did write three treats, so here they are.

Thirty-Three Kisses and Counting, Macdonald Hall, Bruno/Boots. Well, Bruno/everyone, actually, because he bet Cathy that he could make out with more Macdonald Hall boys than she could, which clearly is his own special Bruno-riffic way of telling Boots he loves him.

I am pretty sure this story is the most ridiculously adorable thing I have ever written, unless that honor goes to the second treat:

Troy and Abed in the Yuletide, Community, Troy/Abed. In which Abed writes Yuletide fic for his own movies and everything is meta like a meta thing. I am so proud of the second-to-last line.

(entwashian, I really cannot believe that you haven't seen this show. It's everything you would love! It's the most meta show ever - seriously, like half the episodes are riffs on some TV show or movie - and half the characters are characters of color, and fandom's favorite character is Abed, who is half-Polish half-Palestinian all-obsessed with pop culture.

The writers are less clued in on gender issues than you might prefer - the female character are all awesome on their own, but the writers don't seem to have any idea how to have them interact with each other - but otherwise it's made of win.)

And finally, Half-Sick of Shadows, a Shadow Unit fic which features Daphne and Hafidha chatting after Hafidha has been imprisoned.

This fic basically grew out of one of my frustrations with Shadow Unit: we hear about how Chaz & Daphne & Hafidha are this great trio of friends, but what we actually see is Chaz and Daphne being great friends, and Chaz and Hafs being great friends, and Daphne and Hafidha never interacting about anything but Chaz, which ARGH.

Admittedly, 90% of everything Shadow Unit is about Chaz, because Chaz is a sucking black hole at the center of the story. But I have Feelings about Shadow Unit and they are long and complicated and probably belong in another post.
