Don't Stop Coal Now!

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)

Whitewood (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35770495) (6.6k) is a glorious Bedlam Stacks fic in which Merrick/Raphael get to have their thing while Merrick rolls around in Bedlam kicking ass and taking names.

But only agony, and that has ending (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35736295) (David Blaize, 21K) is a Hughes/Frank developing relationship DIAMOND.

I loved this Sunless Sea fic. 9k worldbuilding/metafiction fic, all OCs, but it does help if you've played the game at least a little.

Shang-Chi fandom came up big with some awesome femslash longfic for us! Katy/Xialing writers, I adore you. ❤

brushstrokes of my love (https://archiveofourown.org/works/34839397)

Katy Chen and Xu Xialing, and the life they build together. (6500 words)

------------

finding our way together
(https://archiveofourown.org/works/35773348)

After the events in Ta Lo, Katy attempts to return to her normal life without much success. Then Xialing contacts her with an unexpected request. (12,600 words)

------------

Best Laid Plans (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35941810)

“Ugh,” Katy said, throwing her hands up in frustration. “All right, all right! I’ll hang out with your sister. Just don’t tell her about…you know?”

Shaun grinned. “About your big fat crush?”

“Oh, god, you make it sound like I’m in high school.” (6300 words)

------------

you got it if you want it (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35929753)

Xu Xialing stops in the doorway, staring.

Katy, lying on the bed, feeding herself perfectly cubed mango by hand, almost chokes.

She sits up, re-arranging her robe and hastily licking mango juice off of her fingers.

Xu Xialing’s lips press together. “You have been well-treated?”

Katy thinks about the Bath Experience, the heavenly soft clothes, and the fruit and nut platter. “Oh yeah,” she says. (6500 words)

(same coalie)

Also, this is cheating because they're not Yuletide fics, but there were awesome recent Katy/Xialing longfics in both Mistletoe Exchange and FemslashEx as well if anyone is interested! :)

an arrow to the heart (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35807353)

The progression of Katy and Xialing's relationship after the battle at Ta Lo.

(or, five times Xialing surprised Katy and one time she didn't.) [7400 words]

------------

Bad Decisions (https://archiveofourown.org/works/35233135)

Common sense tells her that tolerating this kind of thing is what tends to lead to bad relationship choices. The only problem is that she’s never been great at listening to that side of herself, and Xialing’s hot. Plus she’s Shang-Chi’s sister and it’s probably a good idea to try and build bridges. Yeah, that last point sounds good. [9900 words]

BSC (Netflix)
Stacey/Mary Anne
It was becoming a thing. A professional hazard, to be sure, but it was starting to be ridiculous. Every single person in the BSC has now come out to Mary Anne. Everyone, that is, except for Stacey, and of course, as is Mary Anne’s luck, that’s the one person she wishes would. Of course she’s crushing on the one straight girl. Just her luck.

Or, Mary Anne is an advice columnist for the Stoneybrook Middle School paper, and nobody in the Baby-Sitters Club is straight.

Olive Branches - Malory Towers, Bill/Clarissa and Moira/Alicia: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2021/works/35922796 Great narrative voice, cackle-worthy humour and sweet fluff, and the two pairings complement each other wonderfully.

Murder in Florence: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2021/works/34847710

Renaissance RPF, intense emotions, complex relationships, has arranged marriage becoming real, m/m and a touching of f/f and introduced me to a couple of new ships and a central character I want to know more of. Loved it.
