ziparumpazoo (Olivia/Lincoln/Peter)
"One moment Olivia’s standing next to her desk in the FBI building, watching Lincoln’s back as he slouches his way to the elevators and trying to ignore the flicker of a shadow in the holding room’s door window, and the next she’s in Lincoln’s bed."
Well executed and awesome concept. I've seen a few fics where the authors have tried a reverse narrative, and not everyone can pull it off; this collapse of both present and future through vignettes is really intriguing.
From Yuletide
Bend It Like Beckham
You and I bysinuous_curve (Jess/Jules friendship)
"Jess jogs after her for a few paces, then tosses the ball up and boots it as hard as she can, without any semblance of technique or finesse. It flies over Jules’ head and she whips around to watch it arc a good twenty feet past her. 'Wanker,' she shouts affectionately, and takes off after."
This fic is so warm, sweet, and happy, and situates them in just about the perfect epilogue. There's a few witty dialogue bits thrown in there that I like, as well.
Hanna
Adapt or Die byDaybreak (Rachel/OC, Hanna/OC, Hanna/Sophie)
"Her experiment in the real world was over as she knew it would have to be someday. It was time to become who she had been born to be."
This one had a few really interesting conceptual explorations and world-building.
On the Street, Under the Stars. bypresentpathos (Hanna/Sophie)
"Knowing her last name would have helped too."
I like it for its characterizations and for how it does away with the tiredest of cliches in femslash.
Oglaf
A Very Oglaf Christmas bykitsunealyc (Lesbian Mercenary/Snow Queen)
"The Snow Queen heads out in a sleigh full of gifts to spread a little holiday cheer, Oglaf-style... and perhaps to find some for herself."
This is very cheeky and faithful rendition of some of my most favorite female characters in Oglaf, with guest appearances by the sluts, the female lady pirate, and many others. I loved how the Snow Queen's assistant made a bag full of frozen sex toys, and gave them away to those they encountered as she searched for the Lesbian Mercenary, the only person who's been able to satisfy her. The plot doesn't quite make sense, but when did it ever? :D It's all in good fun, and appropriately smutty for an homage to a very NSFW webcomic.
