smutswap reveals are over, so I figured it was time for a wrap up post, since I actually read a lot in this exchange.First things first, my gift of awesome!! I received a wonderful story for the Kate Daniels series, which I hadn't expected at all since I'd requested the rarest of rarepairs in Barabas/Christopher. And honestly, the gift surpassed my wildest dreams. 8k of them figuring their shit out, dealing with their feelings, kicking some magical owl ass, AND ALL THE EMOTIONAL GETTING TOGETHER SMUT.
IT IS GREAT. I love it so much, I haven't been this excited for a fic since my first Yuletide I think.

anticyclone for them as well, so when before this exhange they had zero fic, now there's two! I'm honestly hoping this'll seduce other people to write more for them too–the Kate Daniels fandom always need more fics in general–I'm so in love with them, I'm forever hungry for more.It's the first time I've matched to someone who was also matched to me, and honestly I had a blast, because it was great to discuss them at length in the comments.
But what I like best is that theoretically, these two fics could coexist in canon, since their timelines more or less match up, and that makes everything all the more delicious to me.

Summary: He arches and sobs the moment her fingers touch his skin, desperately trying to get away from the pain.
Note: I'm not usually all that into the whole virginity thing, but Cecily's naivity combined with the manipulative stepmother really worked for me.
Note: Just super fun characters doing the naughty when and where they really shouldn't be doing it. I really enjoyed the writing style, and the narrator had a great voice. Plus I loved the dinosaurs reference.

This isn't revenge. It's a means to an end.
Note: Inappropriate Use Of Iron indeed. I loved this for the clean and disattached mindset of the woman, who's just doing this to get what she wants, aka her sister back. The ending scene promises so much more yet to come, it honestly gave me shivers.

Summary: On the sliding scale of bad decisions, picking up a hitchhiker definitely starts out somewhere in the vicinity of wearing flashy, expensive jewelry into a seedy port. It has since settled down nicely into something more like making eye contact with the one guy in the bar who wants to tell you all about his unbelievable, revolutionary doctoral thesis.

Summary: The horsemen’s tent was like nothing Ao had ever seen before. None of the books had mentioned the lapis lazuli and pearls scattered across the floor of grungy skins, or the heady smell of kush that seemed to cling to his clothes and heavy eyelids, or the greasy men lounging in precious belts and crude boots, laughing and drinking Yavana wine, ignoring the prince standing in their midst.

Note: Possibly my favorite from the collection. Super hot, super interesting worldbuilding and characters, and a combination of kinks I didn't knew I'd be into, but boy was I. This author penned another 4 works for this exchange, all of which were hot and well-written.

Note: I just really loved the concept and the characters. There's so much build-up for so much more to come, I'm honestly hoping we'll see more of these.

Note: What an amazing world that was built here. It felt so vast and rich in history, I loved the characters so much, especially because the gods felt suitably godlike and not too human.

Note: The other contender for favorite story of the collection. So fucking good. The King is a marvelous character, truly what a King should be like I think, the prince is suitably evil yet likeable, and there is obviously so much more going to happen to the both of them after this. I'd honestly read a novel of this, but then I'm always weak for fantasy politics.

Note: This one made me sad. there's so much history between them, and they're so stuck in their position in the world, unable to show the care they have for one another. Lots of feelings with the smut.
