Friday fics — fandoms I don't actually know and others

2013-11-02T03:24:08Z

Taking a break from NaNoWriMo—1,700 words and counting! (I really need to try to get ahead now, because there's going to be all kinds of craziness later in the month.)

Mike and Psmith in the NHL (469 words) by derryderrydown
Chapters: 2/2
Fandom: Psmith - P. G. Wodehouse, Hockey RPF
Rating: General Audiences

Characters: Rupert Psmith, Ilya Bryzgalov, Mike Jackson, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin

I'm only vaguely peripherally aware of hockey fandom, but this is delightful.

Night-time Experiences (1787 words) by Magistra
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Ecce Romani
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Davus, Eucleides
Characters: Davus - Character, Eucleides - Character
Additional Tags: Slash, Latin, Textbook, Ancient Rome
Summary:

Davus and Eucleides, newly-bought slaves of the wealthy Cornelii Family, learn about how Roman slaves sustain intimate relationships. Oneshot, slash.

I never actually used Ecce Romani in Latin class, as my Latin teacher adopted it the year after I graduated—back in my day, we used Jenney's First Year Latin and we liked it. Sam took Latin II with Ecce Romani, though, and remembered the characters from it, so I looked to see if there was any fic like I already knew there was for Cambridge Latin. And there is! But Cambridge Latin fandom is still winning, because it has like eight posted stories whereas Ecce Romani has two.

Midwinter (1356 words) by Sineala
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Eagle | The Eagle of the Ninth (2011)

Marcus shares with Esca some of the more private aspects of the mystery cult. (Or: This one time, at Mithras Camp...)

And speaking of Romans!

Yep, it's Gone With the Wind and zombies. Does what it says on the tin.

I missed this during Yuletide 2009 and it's really nice. I loved Generation X and Microserfs back in the day.
