✏️ What is your fave fic from another writer?

My favorite? I have a lot of fics I love, many of which I've already talked about in one post or another, so let's see if I can come up with a recent fave I haven't talked much about...

I guess I'd have to go with Talking In Her Sleep and its sequel, When In Rome (by @determamfidd), which have both been living in my brain rent-free since I first read them several months back.

They're Hiccstrid-centric post-canon How to Train Your Dragon fics that were posted back in early 2011, before any of the shows or sequel films came out, so the only canon they use is the first film (along with some of the early bonus material). (Which means, among other things, that all of the dragons (besides Toothless) have different names.) The writer also borrows a few small bits of worldbuilding from the original Cressida Cowell novels, particularly in When In Rome.

They're very, very good, and I cannot recommend them highly enough: the plots are believable and exciting, the characterization is excellent, and the writing and imagery is superb. (I also suspect that the writer may have been whacked in the head a few times with the Dodgeball of Prophecy-- I don't want to spoil too much, but there are several plot points that eerily line up and/or parallel with some of the stuff that actually did happen in the later movies.)

Ask me about my writing!
