Hope you've all been having a good Christmas! Here's a roundup of fic I have given and received over the last week or so.

I received:
A Christmas special chapter of my beloved Polyphony from [personal profile] gatty!!!! Who is THE BEST because my god this scratched my brain so perfectly I am so profoundly grateful. MY BEST BELOVED IDIOT BOYS IN LOVE. Algy and Biggles and Erich negotiate their way around a merry Christmas together for the first time. It's *gorgeous* and sweet and perfect and I love it. Gatty also really leaned into the intertextuality with my Algy/vS AU series 'Variations' here, because she indulges me terribly.

And I gifted:
Each Ample Oblation for [personal profile] gatty - largely gen, c.10k, established Biggles/Algy and past Algy/Charles, but not with any great detail for either. The fic universe no one saw coming!! A Charles Bigglesworth Lives AU and sequel to my extremely ancient Algy/Charles fic Brightest and Best (rated E). It's Christmas 1918, and everything is terrible. Gatty gave me adorable OT3 tree-decorating and vS in a cream aran jumper, I gave her PTSD Biggles. I am objectively a bad person.

Three Gifts for [personal profile] ysande, who wanted something to read on Christmas morning ^_^ I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to get anything written, so I didn't volunteer for her informal fic exchange, but in the end I wrote this anyway. Gen, c.15k, Bertie & Gimlet and three Christmases over the years. With apologies to Ginger, who I tease quite a lot.

There is also my Mystery Third Thing Christmas fic, which I did not gift to anyone because uhhhhh. You'd have to know your recipient quite well before you gifted them this.
Correction - rated E, c.11k, Gimlet/Bertie. Please read the tags and warnings on the AO3 page, but mostly NB. for spanking, mild sadism, mild dubcon play and bad boundary negotiation. And it is a Christmas fic!! Sort of. I actually feel genuine pride that I have finally written and published a fic for this disaster of a pairing that I have been mulling over since about 2009.

Right, so this one is also Significantly Nonsensical, as it was written for another tropefic prompt for [personal profile] gattycat, so I don't need to pretend that it fits into any particular continuity (or characterisation.) I'm posting it primarily because I needed to demonstrate the sort of terrible way Algy and von Stalhein seem to end up treating each other every time I attempt to write them.

So! Tropefic response for trope 'Reverse Amnesia' - ie. when everyone else has lost their memories of a particular person. Contains barely sketched pseudo-science, Soviet-era-adjacent activities, and Algy and von Stalhein mostly just being horrid to each other. c.4200 words. Sort of angsty, mostly grumpy. Extremely nebulous mention of Terrible Experiments but without accompanying detail.

Fill in the German sound-weapon from 'Biggles: Adventures in Time' and you probably won't be far off the relevant level of bad science. )
