Six recs

Six recs in Some Like It Hot, 14th Century CE RPF, Tanakh.



Some Like it Hot

cacio e pepe

A funny, charming OT4 story. I watched the film again over the holidays and this fic made my day!

14th century CE RPF

The Facebook of Margery Kempe

IF YOU ARE UNASHAMED OF BELIEVING IN THE LORD JESUS OR HIS UNWORTHY SERVANT WHO WEEPS WHENEVER SHE THINKS OF HIM THEN SHARE THIS POST.

Margery would have loved the internet. Loved. It.

Tanakh

Four great AUs - In Spaaaace!

The Book of the Queens of Old Earth in Exile Esther/Vashti

The alien species, the Psyn, raise noble-born Terran women to act as Liasons to their empress. Vashti has just been summarily dismissed from her post, and must wait for the new Liason to be chosen.

The Citadel

Vashti has abdicated from her position as consort. Her successor contacts her for advice on helping to run a planet-spanning realm.

The next two were written for me.

no rebel, no renegade Jonathan/David

On a tiny space station far from Benjamin Moon, Jonathan, crown prince of Israel, fights giants in the darkness and speaks to the king. Beautiful use of the source material and an incredible sense of tragic inevitability.

My Cousin, My King Saul/Abner

Saul goes looking for his family's lost terraforming robots and finds a destiny. Another great use of the material of 1 Samuel.
