Yuletide recs #4: The Dark Is Rising

A favourite rare fandom. I love the mood of this universe and the dynamic of this OTP. It's got a fairly unique feel, in fandom.

  • The Leaves of Memory Parch and Fade. A sweet, wistful vignette with a subtle note of bitter irony. Hot est-rel; Bran's POV.


  • The Illusion of Endings is a particularly dreamy story concerning, appropriately, Bran reliving his lost memories in the form of dreams. Interesting and a really nice story, though I thought the end too abrupt.


  • One Goes Alone. Preslash. After the end of the series, Will's feeling lonely without the other Old Ones - until he's surprised by a letter from Bran.


Bonus non-Yuletide rec: Something Different by Aristide has just the right heaping helping of schmoop for these two rather dopey, touchy-feely dudes, and preserves the pretty, lyrical tone of the series and that breathless, sweeping-epic-destiny-drama feel.
