RATING/WARNING(S): G
WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete, 1568 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Sarah Williams

FIC SUMMARY: Life was a series of labyrinths. You had to figure out which path to take.

RECCER'S NOTES: A character meeting their younger self is one of my favorite tropes ever, and this story is such a beautiful example of it. ❤ Adult Sarah meets herself twice and each version of her helps the other versions in different ways. Everything is wonderfully connected and leads to a really touching conclusion.

This fic is a gift I received during the

past_imperfect exchange.

RATING/WARNING(S): T
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 5285
MAIN CHARACTERS: Maxine "Max" Mayfield, Nancy Wheeler, Eleven | Jane Hopper, Joyce Byers, Lucas Sinclair, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Will Byers, Jim Hopper

FIC SUMMARY: Max was still figuring out this whole "living in a town that's occasionally overrun by monsters" thing. Honestly, though, that might be easier to wrap her mind around than winter in the Midwest.

RECCER'S NOTES: So I am currently huddled under a blanket, watching winter rain pour down the windows, which means my mood for wintery/cosy/comforting fic might be a little more intense than yours, but this is soooo good.

Max and the kids go sledding, and there are tentative truces and friendships extended, the fear of what happened over the summer still lurking beneath the surface, but warm cookies and cocoa and found family feelings. A short read, but a very satisfying one ♥

MAIN CHARACTERS: Luna Lovegood

FIC SUMMARY: The thestrals look happier than usual.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is a wonderful ficlet. Despite it's just 200 words a lot is said. Love Luna's pov. And even though there's still a sense of the devastation of seventh year there's hope too.

NightsMistress
RATING/WARNING(S): PG-13
WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 3,600 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Natsume Takashi, Fujiwara Touko, Fujiwara Shigeru

FIC SUMMARY: The more Touko hears about Natsume Takashi, the more confused she becomes. The stories she hears are of a selfish child acting out for attention, or worse, but all she can see is a sad, lost child in need of a place to put down roots so that he can settle his mind.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is such a wonderful characer study of bot Touko and of Natsume as we see him through her eyes. I love the way the story flows, and how Touka sees more than the others do. There's such a gentleness and kindness to her that makes me love her just the more.

WIP?/WORD COUNT: one-shot | ~ 4,000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Albus Dumbledore & Walt Disney

FIC SUMMARY: Albus likes Disney films. He decides to meet their creator.

RECCER'S NOTES: This is poignat and heartbreaking and sweet. Love their interactions, and how Walt Disney reacts to the wizarding world. Love the celebrations of two kinds of magic.
