Yuletide Kiefer Fic Roundup!

Here's everything (to my knowledge) in the main collection and yuletide madness from Kiefer fandoms.

Yuletide runs on comments, so drop a 'thank you' if you read 'em!

The Lost Boys

You Can't Win Gay Chicken - E, 6k, David/Michael spanning pre and post canon. Is it vampiric panic, or gay panic? Very hot.

Needlework  - T, 2k, David/Michael missing scene. GREAT David POV and sexy ear-piercing.

Bury me - M, 2K, post-canon David/Michael - not a hook up but very canon appropriately homoerotic :D (This was my gift, and is full of deeply satisfying David being a fantastic lil' shit <3 )

Ride And Die - E, 6k, David/Michael/Star - the hottest kind of love triangle resolving in a... well, a different kind of love triangle LOL. A+++ David being the cocky lil' shit in charge. <3

On the persistence of memory - T, 1k, post-canon David/Michael - post-canon, leaning Michael character study with beautiful prose

ask, and then you get - E, 1k, David/Michael alternate scene. Very hot.

Dark City

The Need to Speak is All that Gives Me Breath - G, 3k, post canon, Daniel/John (gen, but author invites preslash. This was also my gift <3). A delightful Daniel character study.

Something Just For You - G, 1k, post canon Daniel/John (romance). A delightful realization of feelings.

Friday Recs - 5 star fics from 5 fandoms

Happy Friday <3 Multifandom fic recs I read in 2024.

I believe in Father Christmas by Delphi.

HP. Snape/Filch. Rated E. 8300 words. I really love the fic and the verse it is set in <3 Dirtybadhotwrong. Brilliant characterization and world building. Extra excite to see Delphi in hp fandom again <3 Yay! Also one of my fav verses ever <3

The Nameless Mare and the Mountains by tryfanstone

All the Horses of Iceland. Gen. Rated G. 1300 words. Tryfanstone's Yuletide fics are my goto for getting new book recs. Read this canon blind and loved it. Got me to check out the book. Yay!

Mazurek by eldritcher

The Witcher books. Emhyr/Geralt. Rated M. 100000 words. Mazurek is actually a Polish extra sweet cake but the whole series is extra dark. Incredibly beautiful and horrifying psychological fics with nonstop emotional whiplash and I am eating it up. <3

dammerschalf. by skazka

Don't Worry Darling (2022) movie. Gen. Rated M. 2500 words. Skazka's psychological horror fics are in my absolute fav. The movie is not that great but I love the movie premise and skazka really landed the vibe.

Anemone by PforPheobe

HotD. Gen. Rated M. 2300 words.This fandom is kind of 99% miss 1% hit for me in terms of fic but omg the 1% is incredible. The fic goes hard on family dysfunction and really shines in the dirtyhotbadwrong psychological territory.

Happy Yuletide! I got two amazing gifts I need to rec. :)

The Geas (Flash Thompson/Kaine Parker, rated T, 13k)

A spell gone awry. A man he knows very little and likes even less. What happens when Scarlet Spider has Agent Venom in his space 24/7? Either they find a new way to relate or someone is going to meet some very painful consequences.

The tags say it all! Forced proximity but make it about agency! This is such a brilliant take on Kaine and his views on intimacy and romance and ownership and ugh it's so good. Thank you to my author for putting all my Kaine thoughts into this one fic, like, when I say it's exactly what I wanted, it's exactly what I wanted. Totally beautiful look at Kaine and Flash and there's also dreamsharing. I don't think I said either of those things were some of my favorite tropes but my author just knew. Go read it!

Meet Me at Our Spot (Johnny Storm/Peter Parker, rated T, 2k)

But once he knew who the man behind the mask was, there was no real reason to keep it up, was there? He could just — go hang out with Pete somewhere that wasn’t in the middle of the Hudson.

This combines two of my favorite Spideytorch staples, the Usual Place Christmas meetups and Johnny's time in the Negative Zone, into something totally new and original. It plays with Johnny's insecurities in a really interesting way and how Peter just gets him. I loved it so much. Thank you to my author!

Extremely belated Yuletide post! I got this wonderful Peter & Harriet adventure from @fremulon . It's such a warm and thoughtful fic, with some intense moments of suspense - really a feat for a story about a missing rabbit. Non-murder detective stories are truly my fave genre. Also. Peter and Harriet ;-; I love them
