I received an absolutely amazing fic for Yuletide! It's a Wonder Woman fic, about Doctor Maru hunting down Diana in the aftermath of WWI. Doctor Maru was a character who really fascinated me in the movie, but I thought I was setting a massive challenge to anyone who matched with me on that prompt, as I didn't want her cruelty or violence to be downplayed or erased. My mystery author has come through with flying colours by setting this over a long, long period of time, giving Maru opportunity and need to change and adapt - and be changed by what she experiences, too. A wonderful, wonderful fic, rich with detail and with compassion worthy of Diana herself. It's formatted as a five things, but it's a series of scenes in the one story, rather than five AUs.
