SWEETLY, BEFORE THE MYSTERY ENDS

Summary: Oliver wonders how it’s possible that everything he’s ever written now sounds stupid.

Characters: Elio, Oliver, Annella

Notes:

A Yuletide treat foriomixit.

Dear iomixit/asuralucier, I was browsing through Yuletide letters, and your prompt about how much Oliver needs a hug grabbed my mind and wouldn’t let go. I wasn’t necessarily planning to write in this fandom, and yet here we are. :-) Happy Yuletide!

Title from (of course) Sufjan Stevens, from the song “John My Beloved.”

Uncountable thanks to Karios, for in-depth and thoughtful betareading!

Be My Rest, Be My Fantasy (Call Me By Your Name)

BE MY REST, BE MY FANTASY

Fandom: Call Me By Your Name

Summary: Elio is reading poetry. Of course.

Characters: Elio/Oliver

Words: 1,600

Notes:

A Yuletide treat for two recipients, because I ended up inextricably inspired by both of you.

Ghostcat’s guidelines for writing Elio and Oliver were a delightful encapsulation of these two characters:

“1. Elio and Oliver are always intelligent.
 2. They are always Jewish.
 3. Elio is always inclined towards boldness and
 4. Oliver always loves it.”

And lionessvalenti’s prompt for “UST-filled teasing and roughhousing” was so evocative that it slipped in and declared its place in this fic before I even knew it! That combination of intelligence, boldness and physicality seemed just right for Elio/Oliver.

The title is – but of course – from Sufjan Stevens, from the song “Should Have Known Better.”

Thank you to Karios for above-and-beyond betareading!

One Weird Thing (Call Me By Your Name)

ONE WEIRD THING

Fandom: Call Me By Your Name

Summary: Oliver is so irritatingly perfect. Why, Elio wonders, can’t he have just one weird habit?

Characters: Elio, Oliver, Samuel, Annella

Words: 200

Notes: A Yuletide Madness treat for lionessvalenti.

Dear lionessvalenti, I read your Yuletide letter and I loved this prompt so much:

“What I love about this movie is its exploration of intimacy. It has these really beautiful moments or not just sexual/romantic intimacy, or the familiar intimacy of Elio and his parents, but the things people do when they're alone. The silly things, the mindless, the quiet. One of my favorite little scenes is that moment when Elio puts Oliver's trunks on his head. It's something no one would ever do with anyone around, but there's a freedom in being alone, and seeing someone just being alone makes this movie so beautiful. I think that's the beauty of the infamous peach scene, and Elio's reaction, is having those weird things we do by ourselves called out and noticed.”

I tried for ages to write you a different, longer, more serious fic to that prompt, but it just wasn’t working out. Then Karios told me you like drabbles! So instead, here’s a (double) drabble for you.

Thank you to Karios for betareading. :-)
