Fic in brief
Nov. 3rd, 2025 09:15 pmsholioA couple of quick things I wrote for Fandom Giftbasket:
Firefly (Biggles/EvS, G, 1500 wds)
An evanescent moment on the journey home from Sakhalin.
Vaguely inspired by a photo of fireflies in India.
Birds (Alliance-Union, Meg/Dek, 500 wds)
Posted as a commentfic snippet, just a soft little moment for them after a rider ship mission.

Nov. 2nd, 2025 10:39 pmsholioRewatching Babylon 5's "Ship of Tears" and (parts of) "War Without End" was definitely not conducive to ending up in the most cheerful frame of mind this evening. It's so good, though.

Gifts everywhere!
Nov. 2nd, 2025 12:11 pmsholiotrickortreatex and fandomgiftbasket both revealed this weekend. I have gifts to coo over!Trick or Treat:
Beware of Gurathin Bearing Gifts (Murderbot, gen, 580 wds)
Fun and playful with some nice little cultural details, and a tantalizing hint of a future mission to come.
Fandom Giftbasket:
Jala, Tujula, and Fraught Understanding by
This is lovely, a possibly-late-in-series vignette with a little bit of cultural exchange (via food/drink) and a little hard-won wisdom/acceptance.
Keepsake by
A really enjoyable, very slightly AU slice-of-life on Port FreeCommerce in which Ratthi takes MB shopping for the first time. Great in-character interactions and a lovely ending!
Zayd & Marwan by
Murderbot, Mensah's kids, and cats. Cute and fun!

Pairings/Characters: Barnabas Collins, Roger Collins, Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, Angelique Bouchard Collins, Elliot Stokes, Julia Hoffman, David Collins, Hallie Stokes, Maggie Evans, Willie Loomis
Theme: Mystery & Suspense
Summary: Four strangers converge on Collinsport. But maybe one of them is coming home.
The vicious killing of two young boys has Barnabas convinced that a vampire preys upon Collinsport. His suspects are four newcomers: three strangers, and an enemy from his own past, long believed dead.Summary: Four strangers converge on Collinsport. But maybe one of them is coming home.
Reccer's Notes: Though it may be read separately without much fuss, this fic follows Lunatic Yarn, recc'd a few days ago. Blood Levy details the goings on of the ever-put-upon Collins family as they struggle to maintain their reputation while wringing a little love and enjoyment out of ~Life. It's a fine mystery using all the familiar TV show performers, the main ones in their regular roles, while various supporting performers Author has envisioned as original characters. Beginning with sudden action, continuing in an eerie atmosphere, well, could we expect anything else?
