Thoroughbreds
calling like a crow
Lily/Amanda, 5k. Mark haunts Lily, and Amanda helps her figure out what to do about it. This is a fun, low-key horror fic with bonus getting-together, ie a bunch of my favorite things for one of my favorite ships. Just a fun time.

Pern
Bronze and Gold
Kylara/Lessa pre-ship, 2k. Kylara Impresses bronze instead of gold, but she's not going to let that stop her from accomplishing her aims. I truly cannot get enough of this premise, and I love the image of Kylara and Lessa having mildly awkward bonding sessions.

Crimson Peak
Bright
Lucille/Edith, drabble. A satisfyingly bitter little character study. :D

Saltburn
milk for gall
Oliver/Felix, 1.5k Was this what the baying hound felt like, leading his rider, chasing the fox? The rider had the gun, but he was led by the dog. Who was the master and who was the servant? The only Saltburn fic I've read so far, but it's a good one! I love this twisted dynamic, where Felix is not just an object of desire but an active participant in Oliver's games and an active agent in his own corruption.
