Third Batch of Yuletide Recs

[desertvixen]

1. Bright Things (Little Mermaid) - More on the prompt about how Eric and Ariel need to adjust.

"Take a deep breath," he says, and when she does, they both dive, meeting under the water and rotating lazily around each other as long as they can. Her skin is warm against his, and he wonders what it would be like if they could sleep like this, her hair floating around him in a halo. 

2. Revenge! A Comedy - (Sleeping Beauty) - OMG, this is hilarious!  Go read it. 

"True love's kiss?" she asks, clearly not happy with the prospect of me being her true love. Which is completely fine with me, considering I don't stir my cauldron that way either.

3. Little Brown Bird - (GWTW) Rhett's thoughts about Melanie and her quiet strength.  Very nicely done.

He'd been about to applaud when he saw Melanie put her own ring in. Her face was stricken, devoid of all color, and she stood watching the basket make its rounds as if she wished she could dive back into it and pull her ring out.

4. Three Mornings (Frequency) - If you liked the movie, here's some interesting introspection.

But he’s a cop, and that’s the one thing that hasn’t changed, in all of the lifetimes John’s lived. Reassured as he’ll ever be, John hangs up with his parents, puts his car into gear, and drives off to the solid reality of the station.

5. Doubled Rooks (GI Joe Cartoon) - Calling all cartoon Joe fans - go read this one!  First, it's a Yuletide gift for our very own amykay73 (one of my faithful betas) and second, it's freaking hilarious!  Lady Jaye and Flint are fantastic, and the Baroness is her evil, slinky self.  

"Wow." Flint stood at her shoulder, blinking at their reflection as she adjusted the wig. "You look like --"
"Say it, and I will punch you. I have opera gloves, so I can bruise up my knuckles and attend the gala with no one the wiser."

Leaving it off for the night due to frequency of 502 errors...
