Merry Yulemas!
Dec. 25th, 2014 01:16 pmI was so fucking excited about my Yuletide fics this year that it took me a solid two hours to calm down enough to read them, and then another four hours before I finally managed to put words to paper, in re: how much I love my authors. Then it was 4:30 in the morning. Long story short: THERE WERE TWO "SPARKS NEVADA, MARSHAL ON MARS" FICS THIS YEAR AND THEY WERE BOTH FOR ME, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MEEEEEE

Sparks Nevada: WORST APOLOGIZER. This was impossible to pick out quotes for because I am trying to avoid spoiling! But it deals with the fallout of the baby plotline and it somehow manages to be both hilarious and beautifully in-character, and also so, so sad (in the best way!), oh my gosh! I got that feeling where you finish reading, smiling like a goofball, and you're just like, "well I need to lie on the floor and recover for a while now."

"The Thrilling Adventure Hour"
Sparks Nevada and Croach the Tracker: reluctant cuddlers. Well, Sparks is reluctant; the jury is out on Croach. This is brilliantly funny and has so many wonderful touches of pitch-perfect TAH humor - it's basically an extended episodic adventure, with added huddling for [temperature]! Sparks Nevada loves paperwork so much, I laughed and clapped all the way through; I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANY MORE.
Seriously, though, both fics did an incredible job of pulling from my letter and sinking their teeth into the aspects of "Sparks Nevada" that I love the most; I read them and I knew, these were written with such care for me. Authors, if you're out there, please know that I am so touched (by your offerings of sex pollen cactoids and canon mpreg feelings-talks; god I love this fandom) and so thankful! I am completely obsessed with my presents. Thank you!!!

“No,” said Sparks Nevada. “I’m. I’m. I’m— I mean. I am—”
“You cannot bring yourself to say it.”
“I’m— sorry. Can’t say I would’ve been a good dad, because y’all are pretty gross, and knowing my luck we’d’ve had a gross baby.”
“This is not an effective apology.”

“If I turn around, you may hold onto me from behind as I search for a way out of this vault,” said Croach.
“I ain’t spooning you while you look for a lock.”
“I believe that if I do not find a way out, you may expire from strain due to the heat.” Croach shook his head. “Human biology. So limited.”
