Summary:
Sheldon tells her they can lie, if she wants. It’s one of those handful of times that she remembers that deep down (deep, deep down), he’s kind. But she doesn’t want to lie anymore.

Review:
One night during a party, Penny confides to Sheldon that she's gay and Sheldon reveals he is too. Both closeted, they become each others support system and confidant.

Some stories just crawl right inside you and resonate. I love muir_wolf's sensitive and expansive take on these characters; keeping them in-character while making them more complex and fleshed out. Each character beat feels spot-on (especially Penny making Sheldon a Apollo and Midnighter "I Like Boys" t-shirt), and the brief cameos by the rest of the cast really work.

I love this story and just want to hug it.

Summary:
After Beowulf's death, the men of Geatland meet a strange and powerful warrior.

Review:
And now time for something completely different. Written for the annual yuletide challenge, it's a merging of Beowulf with the Old Spice guy commercials. Somehow, it works brilliantly, mostly because the author captures both the prose of Beowulf and the wacky bombastic spirit of the commercials, merging them into something delightful. Sadly, it's only a tiny tasty morsel of a fic, at less than five-hundred words, but it wrings the fun out of every one of them.

Title : Never forgotten
Fandom : Belgariad/Malloreon serie by D. Eddings
Pairings : Zakath/OC, Zakath/Cyradis
Categories : Romance, Angst
Length : Medium (~10400 words)
Warnings : Character death.

Author in LJ : N/A
Author website : DawningStar on AO3

Summary:
Zakath had a chance for happiness once. He will not speak of the choice that left him empty for so long--but the whole story was never his to tell.

Review :
David and Leigh Eddings' books have been one of my guilty pleasure for many years. Especially their Belgariad and Malloreon serie. I enjoy the verse they have created, their characters be they men or women which is not always the case in Fantasy books.
In this fic, I find once more all that I love in the original books. DawningStare makes the characters of Zathak and Cyriadis shine beautifully. They are becoming more full-fleshed all through the story. And the re-imaging of Zakath and Cyriadis romance rings so true it reconcile me with one part of the original plot I had the less enjoyed.
