jlh | Yuletide reveal!

I wrote Community fic! Gen, even!

Ancient Artifacts and Modern Rituals, PG, 4780 words.
From TV Tropes: "The Vacation Episode is a one-off episode where the characters leave their familiar grounds for a well-deserved rest. The vacation will invariably be set in a faraway and exotic location for maximum impact; given the higher costs of shooting on location, the episode will often be longer than usual, to make best use of the budget. A Special Guest or three might also be included."
or, the one where the gang go to New York City for spring break.

Thanks so much to my betas sistermagpie and emeraldwoman, for calming my fears. It was a big leap! My recipient wanted an episode of the show, basically, and so for the first time ever, I wrote something gen and canon-esque. I'm so pleased that she liked it! It was fun to write all the characters, plus the three "special guests", and pull together a complicated plot in a limited space.

I've been updating my recs post as I go along, and I now have only RED, Community and Castle left to read through. But now that it won't be entirely obvious, I wanted to also point out the two excellent fics that I got to read before they were posted:

Esther and the Egg by

sistermagpie. Fairy Tales, PG, 3200 words. The Egg snatched nearly every chorus girl at The Club Araby. Then he snatched Esther.
