Little Mermaid (2023)
Rock Dared Dream of Me by Estirose
Ariel/Eric, 1240 words, rated G
This fluffy and hopeful fic has Ariel and Eric looking toward their future and the things they'll discover together. I especially liked the idea that the merfolk might have their own language for use underwater, and Eric's willingness to potentially experience underwater life, as Ariel is doing with life on land. (This was my yuletide gift and it was everything I had hoped for!)

Right Here on the Shoreline (Time Has Changed Me) by Gray Shadows (tris_chandler)
Ariel/Eric, 1237 words, rated G
More fluffy and sweet fic for Ariel and Eric! I just really liked the way the story turns something small and mundane, like a picnic, into a fun discovery of a human thing for Ariel and more information about the undersea world for Eric.


Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Last Year's Wishes by wingsyouburn
Jason/Trini, 1722 words, rated G
I adored this Jason/Trini story. Set at the Peace Conference after they've officially left the team, the author does an excellent job of exploring just how they might adjust to life as "normal" people after being Power Rangers, and also how these two would support each other through the transition.


Raya and the Last Dragon
come what may by slyrebird
Raya & Namaari, 1767 words, rated G
I am always a sucker for fic about Raya and Namaari trying to be friends after everything that happened between them, and I very much enjoyed this author's take on it. Sweet, awkward, and hopeful, this is the kind of thing I never get tired of for these characters.


Reservation Dogs
and the card attached would say... by PrettyThief
Cheese & Willie Jack, 2246 words, rated T
I love the way this author writes these characters. Their voices really ring true to the canon even though they're a bit more grown up here -- this is exactly the kind of adventures I hope they would go on to have together.

Regained by Ashling
Deer Lady, 1863 words, rated G
I don't even know where to start describing this, but once I started reading I couldn't stop. It's a great and heartbreaking look at Deer Lady and what her future might bring.
