Fic rec: Wax, Glass, Venom

Fairy tale(s) with a twist! Wax, Glass, Venom is a Sleeping Beauty pastiche that manages to blend its various elements and characters beautifully. Malfoy want to eliminate Snape, whom he feels is in too great favour with his master; by guile he administers a virulent poison to his rival. Snape falls, but the spells of his friends preserve him in hopes of future cure... but Malfoy is not unduly worried, for who could ever love such an ugly, spiteful man?

Cluegirl blends forsoothly language with regular speech deftly, interspersing the occasional bit of wickedly sharp humour (thick socks, indeed). Harry is a charming combination of adult hero and impatient youth, and Snape is, well, Snape is indubitably himself. And the ending... Oh, the ending! I shiver. ( But I shan't spoil it for you!)

My (Obscure) Slash Wish List

Just for fun. :D

Terry Pratchett, Discworld
Vimes/Vetinari! There is not enough. There can, in fact, never be enough, but right now there is nowhere near enough.
Vimes/71-hour Ahmed (After all, he DID give Ahmed a blanket invitation to drop by the Watch House, and the taking of swords was mentioned!)

Jennifer Roberson, Lady of the Forest
AU Robin/Richard
Blondel/Richard

Ellen Kushner, Swordspoint
Richard/Alec

Nintendo, Legend of Zelda
Link/Anyone, and why aren't there any good male characters in these games?

Final Fantasy XIII
Kiros/Laguna (!!)

Gundam Wing
Treize/Zechs!

Hellboy
John/Hellboy

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes
Holmes/Watson, with historical verisimilitude. (Mrs. Hudson is not likely, for example, to look with favour upon such a relationship, nor would Mary -- yet I see it all the time! Such a thing was not only the height of moral failure and/or mental instability, it was also illegal... Yet S/H fic is full of gently beaming onlookers and public outings.)

Lynn Flewelling, Nightrunner series
Alec/Seregil (and yes, I know it's in hiding, but I promise not to reveal your name!

Pirates of the Caribbean
Jack/Will, of course!

YOU, YOUR story!
Good original-character slash stories! Fannish or original settings, I'm not choosy. :D
