X-posted from my livejournal: After a brief and random sampling of stories at Yuletide Treasures, I give you the following recs:

Angel

it's about the change (misheard lyric edition)
Come on, the story has a monkey. Of course I'm gonna like it.

Batman

Not A Heart, Beating (slash)
Funny, moving, and hot -- the Nightwing POV feels urgent, real, worried. Definitely worth reading.

Boondock Saints

Confiteor (slash)
Incest isn't one of my kinks, but if you've seen this movie, you probably understand why I'm willing to make an exception. Wonderful Connor voice, and loaded with Catholic guilt.

due South

An Officer and a Gentleman
Whee! The Welsh voice is great, the Frannie voice is great, and their interaction is a pleasure just like it was on the show. I am so very sold on them as a couple.

Firefly

Planetfall
This story is in second-person and it's Simon/Inara. But it's tremendously well-written, well-characterized, and utterly believable. Read it posthaste.

Elias Budd's Charming Widow (slash)
Yay, a story about Saffron! The voice of this is spot-on fantastic.

Good Omens

The Best Christmas Ever
This story feels very true to the tone and narrative style of the book. Funny, witty, and adorable.

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
Funny as hell, deftly done.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The Galactic Miscellany
Dear god, you need to read this story for the footnotes alone!

Justice League

The limits of care (slash)
Oh yeah, this story pushes a bunch of my kink buttons. Creepy stalker Batman, alley sex, the cowl...

Ocean's Eleven

Confidence Men (slash)
Well-written, believable backstory for Danny and Rusty. Funny, gritty, and hot.

Wow, do I have a lot of stories left to read.

Boondock Saints

Dude, I totally did a double-take, because I thought this was the comic strip Boondocks.

Brain fixed now.

I thought this was the comic strip Boondocks.

Har. No, I have no desire to read Boondocks incest. But there is a Yuletide story that's South Park, pairing Cartman with Dead!Kenny...

Har. No, I have no desire to read Boondocks incest.

(My brain does a similar unpleasant flip every time I see mention of the Boondock Saints movie, even though Wax Jism was obsessed with it for a while so I was getting it on my friendslist daily. You'd think the surprise'd go away....)

Yay! I finished with the second draft of the second quarter of the Body Swap story -- that's halfway done!

Of course, all the bits that really need rewriting are in the 3rd and 4th quarters, but I'm ignoring that for my short moment of celebration here....

Yay!

Oh, I'm not saying that it's right, or even all that pleasant. It's just that it makes an ickily weird kind of sense to me. Like Simon/River.

Am, I e-mailed you some story notes. Quite the ambitious project, there. Go you.

Thanks, erika. Caught and replied; and anyone else who wants to give me comments on a strange pair of Harry Potter AUs, I'd welcome feedback. I'm still working on how to post them properly (there is a coloured text, and it's more complex to code than I'd like).

Am, if you sent it to me as a Word doc, I could turn it into a PDF for you, if you'd like.
