kindkitI wrote one Yuletide story and one little treat this year.
Ghosts of Ettersberg (3101 words) by kindkit
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch
Rating: Mature
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Thomas Nightingale, Peter Grant
Summary: There's more than one kind of ghost, and more than one kind of absence.
Anyone who likes Thomas Nightingale in RoL (does anyone not like Thomas Nightingale? what a sad thought) wonders what happened at Ettersberg. Aaronovitch has been dropping hints of something catastrophic through three novels; this is my take. Fortunatelysineala liked it even though it's a bit grim as Yuletide gifts go.
Rewritten (234 words) by kindkit
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: T. E. Lawrence
Summary: Lawrence creating himself.
This was written for Skazka, whom I don't know, but whose mention in their prompt of Lawrence possibly being transmasculine haunted me. This is the first time I've ever written a trans* character. I kind of stopped at the happy ending; there's another story to be written of Lawrence's later loss of confidence (tied in both to the events of Deraa--even more awful if Lawrence is a trans* man--and to the way the Arab independence movement was outmaneuvered by the colonial powers) and how he continued to try out new names without ever quite finding a self to be comfortable in.
I can also now publicly thank the amazinghalotolerant, who for the second year in a row (!!!) wrote me a fantastic Yuletide story. This time it was How Many Strawberries Grow in in the Sea?, which you don't need canon knowledge to enjoy and which I hope I can eventually convince everyone to read. (ETA: Halo also beta-read "Ghosts of Ettersberg" and helped make it better than it had been.)
I'm working on a set of Yuletide recs for the first half of the alphabet, but the wheels of reccing grind slowly.
