Holiday Reading
Got free time? Happy to have no commitments so you can commit to reading? Tag one of your favourite long reads by someone else and then one of your own stories that you think fits the bill, no matter the length.
Thank you for the tags @a-noble-dragon and @jamilas-pen 🥰❤️
Bon Hiver by SweetSirius @wordthieve
This is the author's summary:
Patrick, fresh off ending his engagement, is desperate to not be around people this Christmas. It seems like a long shot that the owner of this cottage, in a town neither he nor anyone he knows has ever heard of, is also looking for an eleventh-hour escape over the holidays, but ... there's this pull in his gut that he's curious about.
42,530 absolutely delightful words full of pining and cuteness and all that good stuff 🥰
I always feel a bit weird reccing my own fics so instead I'm recommending two gorgeous fics by two of my favourite people ❤️🥰
in finding myself, i found you by @flowertrigger
This is the author's summary:
In which Patrick takes an impulsive trip to NYC for Pride and meets David—beautiful, sexy, and clad in leather.
And well, need I say more? Hot, sweet, wonderful meet cute 😍
Noble Beloved by AWorldOfDreams @a-noble-dragon
This is the author's summary:
Schitt's Creek has a secret. And it's a rather large one. David's not at all pleased that this secret involves him, becoming a Dragon Liaison Officer. Because Dragons don't exist... right?
This is a must read, even if you don't think you like magical realism. Dragon!Patrick is one of my favourite Patrick's that I've read. Read it and prepare to fall in love.
No pressure tagging @flowertrigger @smblmn @beaiola @trickiwooao3 @wordthieve @demora00 @carolrain @statueinthestonetoo @chelle-68 @characterassassination-at-9am @stargazer56 and anyone else who wants to 🩷

Book number 7, Swordheart. This was a cute cozy fantasy, about a middle aged respectable widow who surprisingly gets left the entire estate of an elderly uncle by marriage, that his family are willing to kidnap her to get back. Luckily she finds a sword, that when drawn, summons a immortal (and hot) knight protector and they set off on an epic quest to find a lawyer! This was a relaxing and comfortable read, with fun banter, enjoyable character dynamics and fairly low stakes.

I’ve been reading holiday short stories all week and it’s been really fun. So, that means three mini reviews for the price of one!
Merry In Spite: This was really fun, but I wish we got a little more character development. I wish we actually got to see Tristan and Myles doing all the fun holiday things with their families, going on dates, and falling in love. Otherwise this was some fun holiday flavored smut and it’s getting three stars from me.
Ice Palace Prince: This was so sweet and fun! It’s so cozy and fluffy and absolutely perfect to read around the holidays. It’s getting four stars!
Delayed For The Holidays: This was so much fun! I loved that Micah and Baylor were so smitten with each other from the moment they met. It gave this whole short story a hallmark movie vibe and it was fantastic! This one is getting five stars!

Thanks for the tag, @chelle-68!
Undertow by @rosedavid - I love this slow burn lifeguard!Patrick AU. The exploration of feelings and the aftermath of trauma is just excellent as is the banter. You should all read it if you haven’t!
so bitter and so sweet - a semi-slow burn coffeeshop au in which David is the barista and encounters a snippy but intriguing customer.
Tagging @indestructibleheart @blackandwhiteandrose @hippolotamus @kiwiana-writes @alienajackson @jettestar @rosedavid @lizzie-bennetdarcy and anyone else who would like to participate

Thank you for tagging me, @a-noble-dragon and @ramonaflow !

I have no stories of my own, but I adore long fics and love getting lost in all the amazing works we have in our fandom.
Since @a-noble-dragon already recommended my favorite ever long fic, You Can Fall by @wordthieve , I'm going to second their recommendation and add two more of my own.
Incorrect by LisaMc21 - Patrick plays for the Blue Jays, David is an interior designer. They meet on vacation and then have to figure out what comes next. I love long distance relationships, I love pining and I love this fic a ridiculous amount!
And
Blackbird, Fly by @distractivate - David and Patrick meet after the apocalypse when David joins Patrick's reintegration class to begin living in the world. Don't let the post-apocalyptic setting scare you, this story is full of joy and a beautiful relationship. The ending makes me cry every time I read it, it's so gorgeous! The companion piece, Here We Go, Bluebird, about Clint and Marcy, is also wonderful.
Tagging some mutuals in case they have time and want to share some recommendations. @raspberryconverse ,@olinsghost , @cinnamonrollsos , @apothecarose and @statueinthestonetoo .

Certain Ends - Chapter 1 - frimfram - The Umbrella Academy (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
I remembered I meant to do this just in time! It's technically Christmas Eve in London now, where (and when) this story takes place, and I've been sitting on reccing it since February, when @steeple-sinderby finished it (and I beta'd it). It's a heavily-Christmas-Carol-influenced story (not quite a retelling) (it's fun catching all the references, some of which are much less obvious than others) about a slightly-younger Klaus Hargreeves and the spirits haunting him that Christmas Eve, most of whom are his brother Ben. It's an incredibly EVOCATIVE story, full of description that brings a haunted winter London to life (or afterlife) which really makes it perfect for reading during the proper month, and so I am reccing it now since it was entirely too overlooked in February! Enjoy, it's delightful!

'Belle of the ball' was a cute queer graphic novel about working out who you are. It has a three way lady love triangle, with a jock, a cheerleader and a mascot all trying to navigate their final year at high school and work out how relationships fit as you grow and change. The whole thing is in shades of pink, and the art was delightful! I look forward to adding it to my school library ☺

Book 60 of 2024
The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
This is a Christmas themed follow up to Dash and Lily's Book of Dares, which is a cute teen romance set all over New York, that recently became a Netflix(I think) movie. I have read the first one a couple times, and came across this on my holiday reading suggestions list. This is the perfect mix of angst and romance that my feral heart loves. I don't think I will ever outgrow this genre. The characters are engaging, the plot is consistent, coherent, and reads as very true to life. The humor is a mix between slap sticky moments, and dry wit. Overall a quick sweet read that took me too long to finish, nout due to the book, but to my ease of distraction.
