I received two lovely fics for Yuletide (both in the Wynonna Earp fandom) and I wrote ten fics (one of which was a drabble) in six* fandoms. The most treat fics I've ever completed, and one became my first pinch hit.
10,483 words total.
*One was a crossover fic so six Yuletide fandoms and one not-Yuletide eligible so sort of seven fandoms?

For the

a_war_of_roses "Fandom History 101" challenge; 2/5 The Borgias

Title: The Borgias
Format: TV Show
Era/Location: 16th century Italy
Brief Summary: When Rodrigo Borgia finagles his way to the Papacy, his son Cesare is forced to become a cardinal rather than the warrior he wants to be, younger son Juan becomes a lacklustre leader, and, to Cesare's horror, Lucrezia is forced into a violent marriage with a Sforza for political reasons. Cesare forms an alliance with assassin Micheletto and they do their best to protect the family from the myriad threats, and Rome from her enemies.
Why you like it/would recommend it: Cesare (Francois Arnaud) is amazing and the chemistry he has with Lucrezia (Holliday Grainger) is off the charts. Cesare's character development is second only to Lucrezia's as she goes from naïve young woman to ruthless opponent, while Juan's selfishness, cruelty, and short-sightedness proves his downfall. Rodrigo is an interesting character – sometimes genuinely spiritual, sometimes pure plotter, and willing to put women in positions of great power. The triumvirate of Lucrezia, her mother, and her father's mistress Farnese is a high point when they work for the good of the Roman poor, and the relationships between Cesare and Lucrezia, Lucrezia and Micheletto, Micheletto and Cesare, are convincing and a pleasure to watch, and Micheletto is a canonically gay character.*
Another one not for historical purists but a show built around fascinating characters.

(*arguably bisexual but the only woman we see him bed is one he does so before killing her to frame a third party for the murder; it was business and not pleasure)

Fandom: Legend of the Seeker, The Borgias
Pairing/Characters: Denna, Cesare Borgia, Lucrezia Borgia, Micheletto. Implied Cesare/Denna and Cesare/Lucrezia.
Rating: PG-13

Prompt: For my dark bingo prompt "imprisonment"
Summary: First Mistress Denna has Cardinal Cesare Borgia at her mercy and attempts to make him loyal to her alone.
Content Notes: Author chooses not to warn.
Author Notes: The first scene of this fic was originally written some time ago for a

legendland crossover challenge but was never posted publicly. As I'm trying to wrap some things up, I've now significantly revised and expanded on the fic. It's almost the fic I originally had in mind, though it still feels slightly rushed to me, and maybe Denna shouldn't be quite so easily taken in, but I feel this is as good as it will get and that it is to be posted now or never.
