In the midst of this sea and on the edge of this desert.

Oh but do I love this time of year, so much awesome fic giving and receiving.

There were some great fics posted for femslashex this year and these are the ones I loved - sadly I'm only reading in my fandoms or general interest so I'm sure I've missed a ton of great stuff as well.

Stockholm, Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent/Aurora, Aurora/Prince Philip. Both the tone of this and the complexity of the relationships are beautiful in this. 

Blood Sacrifice, Welcome to Night Vale, Old Woman Josie/Faceless Old Woman, This short fic rocks socks and is super creepy, natch.

Bittersweet and Strange, Disney characters, Mulan/Belle. This merges the worlds of Mulan and Belle from Beauty and the Beast and is a lovely story about adventurous women finding what they need, the tug of home, and hard choices when marrying cultures together.

Know Your Weapons, The Hunger Games, Cashmere/Glimmer, This is a great development of the mentor/mentee relationship that could of existed here and the fucked-uppedness of District 1. 

The Mercy of the Fire, Supernatural, Bela Talbot/Anna Milton, Anna has work for Bela and that means saving her from Crowley. I love Bela's voice here, it is divine. <3

And in the spirit of sharing, I just received my fic for original smut_fest , ingenius wrote Beggars Can't Make Choices all for me. And it is so yummy I can't even. It is glorious threesome fic, m/m/f, with rebel fighters and power differences and uniforms and all sorts of other kinky fun times which are all SO HOT. I encourage everybody to go read it!

Author's Notes: Thank you to spaghettitoes for all her help, but especially for the final part which she really saved. You rock m'dear. Also to lusaly for her awesome artwork, do check it out!

In the light of recent eps this fic really feels like an elegy to a Cas and a Dean who, if not already lost, are in great danger. I hope you will find some old, beloved friends here walking a different, if no less difficult road.

Quotes come from three Led Zeppelin songs, Ramble On, Since I’ve Been Loving You, and Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You. Additional quotes in the play scene come from Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. I’ve also quoted Mahmoud Darwish’s incredible opening to his prose poems, Memory for Forgetfulness at the beginning and throughout.
