Fandom snowflake - Day 9

[flo_nelja]

In your own space, brag about yourself. Tell us what things you've done that you're proud of; the things that make you the wonderful person you are.

This is a fandom blog, so you get fic recs. ^^
You know what I love? Fics that are crossovers with fairy tales, myths and legends, but not in an AU way, still canon compliant, and ideally culturally relevant! And as I love it, I write quite a few of them, so yeah, self-recs!

(Also, it's not the right day for this, but I'm taking recs on this particular trope! Including self-recs, of course!)



My series about Marvel Comics characters and the myths of their cultures
La sorcière corneille (Kitty/Illyana et les contes de Baba Yaga)
Le golem (Billy Kaplan et le Golem de Prague)
Rouge d'automne (Rahne, Siryn, Moira, et des Bonnets Rouges)
La femme-tengu et la renarde (Storm/Yukio, Tengus et Kitsune)

The last one I posted, about Portrait de la jeune fille en feu and Héloïse's dead sister
La faiblesse des morts : Le fantôme de la soeur d'Héloïse ne peut que regarder, impuissante, le drame qui se joue devant les yeux, le destin de sa soeur, qui est de sa faute.

Plein de crack
La Bosj (Buffy, Andrew Wells et un démon breton de la malchance)
Loki le mielleux (Mythes nordiques, Loki et la sorcière d'Hansel et Gretel)
Un petit accident de Père Noël (Gravity Falls, la famille Pines et le Père Noël)

Et des histoires dramatiques
La croisée des chemins (La princesse et la grenouille, le passé de Facilier avec plus de mythes vodou)
L'Amour et la Bête (Princess Tutu, Fakir->Mytho backstory, crossver avec la Belle et la Bête)
Monstres et masques (Kasane la voleuse de visages, Kasane et une yukionna)
Histoires d'araignées - Annexe 1 (The Magnus Archives, témoignage original sur une jorogumo)
Les moissons de la mort (Quatrevingt-treize, Gauvain, Cimourdain et l'Ankou)



And you know, I have less of them in English. But let's try



War in Christmas (The Magnus Archives, Basira/Daisy, humor about the Powers wanting the custody of Santa)
I pretend to myself (Brothers Karamazov, Ivan/Smerdyakov, I know this one is canon but i'm always here for more Ivan and the devil)

Writing that kind of crossovers sounds like a brilliant idea, and something that can lead to fun and meaningful stories. You make me wish I knew those canons and were able to read French fluently.

Thank you! I love this trope, ha ha. Maybe I'll do another post with recs about it of fanfics that are not by me.
In the meantime, I'll wait for recs. :-D

I love crossing fairy tales with fandoms! And I'm trying to learn French, so I'm bookmarking.

[flo_nelja]

Thank you! Do you have some recs?

[seleneheart]

I've written quite a few -if you want to read mine, I can send you the links. Not all of them are posted at the moment, but I'm working on getting them there.

[flo_nelja]

Maybe you tell me when they are posted?

[seleneheart]

The ones that are posted currently are:

Don't Call Me Daphne SGA, Lorne/Parrish, based on the myth of Apollo and Daphne

Onyx Black and Topaz Gold due South, based on Snow White and Rose Red by Bros Grimm

I'm gonna subscribe to your journal and I'll let you know as I post more. There's probably about 15-20 more. I've never counted.

my french is in no way good enough to read any of your fics, and i don't really read marvel comics but i love the idea of a crossover involving the golem of prague. i don't think it's something a lot of people consider when they're thinking about european myths and legends and fairytales. the idea of bringing fairytales into fic like that is really cool in general.
