Fandom: More Yuletide Recs

Yuletide Madness opened, so you have the chance to read all seven of my stories. (To recap, I have six in the main Yuletide archive and one in the Yuletide Madness archive.) Four are in fandoms I've written at least one drabble in before and three are in new fandoms. (If you guess which one(s) I wrote here, I'll give you a prize. Probably more fic. And I should have said this earlier, but didn't, so from here out, if you were one of the people to whom I actually mentioned one [or more] of the fandoms, you are exempt from guessing the fic for that fandom. CHEATERS. :D)

Now I have two archives to work my way through and no idea how I am going to read everything I want to read. Today is family Christmas, but mostly I just want to read fic and relax. Oh well, it will be over soon. (I'm looking forward to it, but my family is large and loud and wonderful, but exhausting. And also, FIC.)

Fandom: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

or love me not (Yuletide Madness)
Summary: Title from The Taming of the Shrew, Act 4, Scene III: "Love me or love me not, I like the cap, / And I will have it, or I will have none." Pure sugary fluff.

This is adorable, sweet Kat/Patrick fluff. It made me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy.

Fandom: Fairytales

That Was Most Beautiful (Yuletide Madness)

A haunting little piece twisting the Snow White tale.

Fandom: Addams Family (1991)

Pasodobles (Yuletide Madness)
Summary: That's not pasodobles. This is pasodobles.

Short and sharp and absolutely perfect in character dancing and dangerous Morticia and Gomez.

Fandom: Futurama

Best. Mom. Ever (Yuletide Madness)
Summary: Turanga Leela is awesome at everything.

Leela totally is awesome at everything and this fic is awesome too. Leela and her daughter bonding was something I totally needed even though I didn't know it.

Fandom: Fringe

Not One Whit Explosive (Yuletide Madness)
Summary: Walter makes a wonderful discovery.

Walter and Peter here are perfect, their relationship, Peter's patience, Walter's joy in his discovery. Lovely little fic.

Fandom: Blue Crush

Thanks, Man (Yuletide Madness)

This is a sharp little piece about Eden and her love of challenges.

Fandom: Jurassic Park

Fractal Dimension Approaching Infinity (Yuletide Madness)
Summary: Alan visits Ian in the hospital the day after the events of the first movie.

Ian's voice is fantastic here and Alan wonderful. Strange attractors and haunting dinosaurs and lovely flirting.

Fic Rec: Yuletide

The last of the presents have been wrapped, the house has been cleaned, and all that's left is for J to do the cooking (which is, at most, setting out meat trays and making dips). I'm waiting on my turn in the shower, so here are a few more Yuletide recs.

Fandom: Secret Garden - Burnett

Brave Blooms
Summary: Winter comes to Misselthwaite Manor and brings changes and choices with it.

This is heart stoppingly lovely, at times aching and sweet and funny. I love Dickon, so steady and solid, shown against Mary and Colin and the way their world will change.

Nest Building
Summary: The Secret Garden has been unlocked for two years. Things are changing at Misselthwaite Manor, but some things remain constant.

This is a lovely, sweet story about Mary and Dickon that made my heart squeeze.

Fandom: Anastasia (1997)

faded from the winter
Summary: There is a girl behind the curtains, sitting curled up on the windowsill, elbow pressed against the glass. Anya and Dimitri, pre-movie.

Lovely, lovely story about Anya and Dimitri meeting as children.

Fandom: Calvin & Hobbes

The Social Contract (Boys and Tigers Remix) (Yuletide Madness)
Summary: Calvin, Hobbes, and various battles lost and won.

Funny, sweet story about tigers and boys.

Fandom: Pitch Black

Hero Worship (Yuletide Madness)

A short, sharp little snapshot of Jack and her fears and the way she worships Riddick.
