Here is my gift, a cool fic about Coleridge's Christabel with fairies, I loved it.

The Twice-Stolen Child by regshoe (Christabel's mother, PG, 2882 words)
The curious story of Geraldine’s true origin—and Christabel’s.


And two stories that were not for me, but that I enjoyed. One of them is another Christabel story, with a very different theory about her origins.

Why Have You Called me Forth? by avaloncat555 (Christabel/Geraldine, T, 4437 words)
Christabel closes her eyes.
Within the dream, Geraldine waits.



And a darkly funny Odyssey fic, with some inspirations from Epic: the Musical, and from the Clue board game :D

The Burial Shroud Was Just a Red Herring by MimiHylea (Penelope + Telemachus, T, 2168 words)
When Penelope's suitors plot to kill her son, she decides it's time to convince them to leave.

Dear Once_Upon_Fic Writer,

I'm glad we have fairy tales and myths in common! I'm sure you will write an awesome story! I signed as Nelja-in-English, Nelja is my usual pseud.

What I like: Worldbuilding, characters being clever and witty, foreshadowing, weird surrealist crack that makes sense, dreams or illusion themes, characters knowing and understanding each other well, unreliable narrators, ethical dilemmas, strong women, queer themes, horror themes.

What I prefer not to read: AUs except for canon divergence, character bashing, pandemics, cheating, humor based on misunderstandings or incompetence, post-canon/AU with a sad ending when the canon has a happy one (except specified otherwise), bashing of either science/rationality or magic/spirituality to make the other one look better.

And! I also got not one, but two stories about the Boto Encantado, the Brazilian pink dolphin shapeshifters!

Cor de rosa by theseatheseatheopensea
Here, in the sweet earth of Bahía, the story goes on.

Boto by ungefug
He stood out from all of them, a head taller than any other man she’d ever seen, and was dressed in white, head to toe. White shoes, white slacks, white shirt and white jacket, white neck, white cheeks, white lips, white hat on his white head. Under the reddening evening sky and the neon light garlands, he looked pink like the water lily.

The small curse strikes again: I wrote for the same fandom I was given!
The bigger curse I avoided last year (but not the year before), the recipient didn't comment on my fic :-(

So the winning fandom is Andersen's Snow Queen! Here is the fic I got:
Where Winds Took Me by avalon555, Little Robber Girl with some Little Robber Girl/Gerda and a few crossovers.


And then my fic!

Titre : One Year of Winter

Persos : Gerda/Snow Queen
Genre : Canon divergent AU, romance
Résumé : Gerda accepts to stay and live with the Snow Queen for one full year, in exchange for Kai's freedom.

Ca y est, les fics pour la communauté [community profile] once_upon_fic sont désanonymées !

Cette année, j'ai reçu une excellente fic sur Heer Halewijn sur ce qui se passe après la fin :

Bargains Cruelly Made (2399 words) by Scytale
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Heer Halewijn (Traditional Ballad)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Heer Halewijn/The Princess
Characters: Heer Halewijn | Lord Halewyn (Het Lied van Heer Halewijn), The Princess (Heer Halewijn)
Additional Tags: Fairy Bargains, Character Death, Consent Issues, Decapitated Head Kissing, Love Magic
Summary: "Kiss me, Princess Magtelt, and I will tell you how to kill a firebird.“


Est-ce que j'ai déjà parlé à tout le monde de Heer Halewijn ici ? C'est une ballade médiévale avec une fairy creepy, du contrôle mental, et une fille badass, bien sûr je suis à fond dedans !

Voici la page wikipedia anglaise de la légende (on n'a pas de page wiki française et c'est bien triste)

Voici une traduction anglaise (ce n'est même pas long !) plus la version originale en... néerlandais médiéval, je crois ?

J'ai aussi beaucoup aimé la version d'Henri Gougaud dans L'arbre d'amour et de sagesse, qui est peut-être encore plus glauque (avec de l'inceste sous-entendu ? ^^)



D'ailleurs, ce n'est pas le fandom qui m'a été demandé, mais j'ai quand même fini par écrire un court bonus dessus :


Titre : Lord Halewijn's Song of Blood
Auteur : [personal profile] flo_nelja
Fandom : Heer Halewijn (Ballade traditionnelle)
Persos
: Halewijn/Princess
Genre
: Dark, post-canon
Résumé : Everyone who heard Heer Halewijn's song wants to be with him always.
Rating : PG-13
Disclaimer
: Public domain
Nombre de mots : ~750
Avertissements : Character death, mind control.

( Link to AO3 )

Et une sur Le Chat Botté !

Titre : Cat of All Trades
Auteur : [personal profile] flo_nelja
Fandom
: Fairy Tales
Persos : Le Chat Botté
Genre : Humour, pre-canon
Résumé
: How the Master Cat learnt to talk.
Rating : PG
Disclaimer : Public domain, I use Perrault's version
Nombre de mots : ~1700
Avertissements : A bit of harm to animals (the cat is the culprit, not the victim)

( Link to AO3 )

Et bien sûr, comme j'utilisais la version de Perrault, j'ai commencé par l'écrire en français, et voilà un lien vers la version française !

Je me suis retrouvée, cette année, par hasard, avec une fic écrite et une fic reçue sur la même légende et le même personnage ! Sedna, de la mythologie inuit (je ne me plains pas, je suis fan)

Voilà les liens (en anglais)

La mienne : Blood, Love and Body

Celle qui était pour moi : returning home


Et en bonus, une de mes fics préférées de l'échange de cette année: un AU Blanche-Neige où la méchante reine a vraiment tué Blanche-Neige et est hantée par son fantôme : But Snow White Was Fairer Still. Le même auteur a d'ailleurs fait une très bonne fic Barbe-Bleue pour le même échange !
