Title: What Birk Has Learned
Fandom: Ronia the Robber's Daughter
Pairing: Ronia/Birk
Language: English
Summary: On the night Birk was born, a thunderstorm raged over the mountain that rose up over the trees of Borka's Wood. And that was only the first lesson in a life that leads him directly to his dearest friend.

Normally male coming-of-age stories bore me silly, so it's a great compliment indeed when I say that I enjoyed this fic. I enjoyed the beautiful language, the parallels to Ronia's story in the book, and the joy of Birk meeting/working hard to meet his equal.

Title: Midwinter
Fandom: Ronia the Robber's Daughter
Pairing: Ronia/Birk
Language: English
Summary: Midwinter is the time for remembering both past and future.

Ronia and Birk decide to grow up and live in the "real" world. I want to snuggle this fic and give it warm cocoa, because it is so very aware of the harsh, cold realities of society, but still maintains its warm, magical heart. There is a fantastic hope and willingness to look for the light in this fic, which makes it very season appropriate.

Title: Pippi erklärt den Krieg
Fandom: Pippi Långstrump
Pairing: Annika/Pippi
Language: German
Summary: Good girl Annika is all grown up, a nice, neat young lady. It's about now a nice young man ought to sweep her off her feet, but she's not really interested in that. Maybe one of those trouser-wearing women the pastor warned her about will, instead... Mostly she just misses Pippi. But Pippi had no intention of waiting around at home alone while Tommy did his military service and Annika went off to university. She said she would come back to Sweden for Christmas, but is she even interested in an adult friendship with someone like Annika? Philosophical, fun and angsty all at the same time, like a real Pippi story should be.
