Eeeee, Yuletide! I was lucky enough to get three Yuletide fics this year (and a treat yet to be revealed), all for Noel Streatfeild's Wintle's Wonder's. I'm pretty sure all these were written at the last minute, as I saw my request come up on the pitch hit list, which makes the high quality of them all even more awesome. They all explore different future relationships of Rachel and the others, and all speculate about the girls' future in an interesting and thoughtful way. All had spot-on characterisation.
A Conversation in Hollywood has Hilary making an unexpected visit to Rachel and an exploration of how their futures may be subtly different from what they expected.
Postmarked (a study in contrasts) shows how, despite the seeming differences in their lives, Rachel and Hilary never grow apart, with lots of lovely little details about their respective lives, and a really vital, lively Hilary.
Wintle's Wonders All Grown Up is about Rachel and Dulcie as adults, forming a tentative friendship as Dulcie tries to decide what she wants for herself. This has a really interesting persepctive on Dulcie.
Thank you, all my anonymous authours. You're wonderful. :)
And I also then received a Madness fic in the same fandom: Different Dreams is all about Hilary and a possible future for her.
