Characters: Lucy (16 Ways to Kill a Vampire in McDonalds), Claire (16 Ways to Kill a Vampire in McDonalds), Maggie (16 Ways to Kill a Vampire in McDonalds)
Additional Tags: Pre-Femslash, Vampires, Vampire Hunters, Canon-Typical Violence
Summary:
Lucy laughed despite herself. If it was just her, she wouldn’t be this nervous. She had been bait plenty of times – it was easy, especially at a party. One beer – not enough to get her drunk, but enough to get some blood into her face, but act like you’ve had three, and the mosquitos came swarming.
But this was also Claire’s first hunt, so Lucy was felt so tightly wound she feared she might burst. If it went badly – well, Lucy didn’t want to think about that.
The source material on this is a super cute game where you play as Lucy hunting a vampire in McDonalds, and this story perfectly captures the fun, humor, and tension of the game, has an amazing Lucy character voice, and is a great sequel to it. It references details of the game in subtle, fun ways, but can be read without knowing the source material (or at least without knowing more of the source material than the title of the game).

Characters: Cassie (Down in the Library Basement)

Summary:
There are a lot of libraries out there in the world. Cassie isn't even remotely surprised to find out others are as interestingly occupied as hers.
The source material here is a short horror story available on both the NoSleep podcast and the NoSleep reddit, about Cassie who finds something lurking down in the library basement. This is another perfect sequel to the source material. I think it is possible to read this without knowing the source material, because it centers on a different library and a different sort of thing lurking in it (and the thing lurking is hilarious and delightful). I am utterly in love with Cassie in the original story, and the author here captured her perfectly, her voice and her sense of humor and her dedication to both her library and the things down in the basement. It's perfect and warming and sweet.
This Yuletide is a great Yuletide for me. I'm so damn lucky.
