Nikki Green is not her mother. But she can slice a bitch just like her. A chilling story of Nikki's own vendetta with characterization to die for (pun intended). This is what the movie would sound like if it was a book.

Eli and Oskar's first summer together. With the same blend of creepy and tender, violent and adorable, this fic captures both the wonderful dynamic between the kid and the vampire and Swedish summer in the Baltic archipelago. Beautifully done.

Bookmarker's Notes
It doesn't end with an orange-toned freexe frame. Relationships take a little more work than that. A sweet story of Amelie and Nino's relationship after the movie, that shows life's simple pleasures, ones you can't always share. Altogether lovely.

Lilo is growing up, and her dreams are always changing. So, it seems, are her memories. A wonderful, wonderful story that goes from delightful to bittersweet and then right back to delightful again.

No one realizes that Cri-Kee has problems of his own. Cri-Kee gets some spotlight for once, in this absolutely adorable fic, which (of course!) features a whole lot of singing.

Kathy's going to complete soon, and listens to her old tape again. There, she finds a recorded message from Tommy. A wistful post-canon fic about the saddest of all OT3s. It hurts to read, but it hurts so good.

This Loki is different from the one Sif hears stories of. A very tangible story with a wonderfully characterized Sif, and a great eye for detail and body language.

Ragnarök's today. A story that isn't so much Norse mythology thrown into today's world as today's world thrown into Norse mythology. Nothing is what it seems. What you think you see might just be a trick of the light - or not. Ominous and potic atmosphere and an original take on the old myths.

Doctor O'hara finds Jackie passed out on the floor with tiny vials of morphine scattered around her. What happened directly after the finale, from Elenor's pov - and what a convincing pov! One of the best character voices I've ever seen, and solid, nuanced characterization. Has the same mix of pragmatism and tenderness as the show, and it ends beautifully.

On the night Birk was born, a thunderstorm raged over the mountain. Birk's childhood and the many things it learns him, along with his most important lesson - there's another child in the forest. A respectful addition to the original book that carries the very spirit of the original.

A river becomes a dragon, a dragon a boy, then a man. Haku's story - before, during and after the movie. A bright, absolutely charming and lyrical read.

There is a ghost by the river. Chihiro's life is over, but she's not gone from the world. Neither is Haku, nor the hope he learned from her. A beautiful and melancholic post-movie story with an open ending that promises happiness for the optimistic reader.

There is always work in Yubaba's bath house. Chihiro serves the radish spirit his lunch, in a small adventure that would fit right into the original movie. Funny and cute, with enough darker hints to make it real.

Yotsuba in winter. Imaginative and with a great sense of wonder, it captures the feeling of childhood. A bit of angst at the end that blends in seamlessly and isn't overbearing.
