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.
