castaliaYuletide recs by fandom as I read them. Oh, I will be reading for a week!
In Which Worlds Collide and Eeyore Investigates a Terrible Crime (A.A. Milne - Winnie the Pooh) - Oh, oh, oh! The most unlikely crossover ever, and I love it. There's even an adorable illustration! ♥
"Meanwhile, she had a kid to catch. She closed the door to the shed and went around it and saw something small scuttling through the grass. Granny focused all her attention on it, and it stopped moving and resolved into a small grey toy donkey with rather a lot of mud and tree bark on it.
Granny stepped closer and looked down. Small sewn-on eyes of black thread did not look back, since black thread can't look."
Night of the Brotherhood of the Very Secret Thing (Adventures of Brisco County, Jr) - Brisco/Bowler
Patriarchal Blessing (Adventures of Brisco County, Jr) - Post-series adventure. Bowler, Brisco/Dixie
Stuffing Day (Alien Nation) - A Tenctonese Christmas tradition.
Merry Christmas, Charlie Barkin (All Dogs Go to Heaven) - I always did have a soft spot for this movie.
Mm Mm (Animaniacs) - Heh, this could've been an episode.
Sixty Years in a Water Tower (Animaniacs) - And this should've been.
Men's Trousers (Are You Being Served) - Another "could've been an episode" fic. Love it.
Incalzando (Sherlock Holmes) - Absolutely lovely.
Both a Little Scared, Neither One Prepared (Disney's Beauty and the Beast) - Cogsworth/Lumiere. ♥
What Became of Marie La Fleur (Disney's Beauty and the Beast) - A wonderful fleshing out of a minor character from the movie. Just what Yuletide is for, IMO. Awesome.
Unwind for a Change (Disney's Beauty and the Beast) - So much great stuff in this fandom this year! Oh, Cogsworth. ♥
All There Is (Disney's Beauty and the Beast) - "A clock and a candelabrum spooning. How odd.
Sonic Treacle (Black Books) - I would've loved an episode like this. Spot-on voices, absolutely hilarious.
Barcelona (Black Books) - Bloggers save Black Books.
Intervention (Black Books) - *dies laughing*
Fanfare, Fan Fiction, and the Fourth Wall (Boston Legal) - "At that moment, Shirley Schmidt happened to walk by the office. She opened her mouth to scold Alan, obviously perturbed by the young woman hugging him, but Denny cut her off. "Don't worry, Shirley," he said. "She's not straight. She's a slasher. That means she wants two men, not just one."
Shirley opened her mouth again, then closed it, then just continued walking.
"Hey, is this a group hug?" Denny asked."
Defensive Zone (Breakfast with Scot) - This is the sensuality and passion the movie lacked.
Merlin
Okay, I totally skipped ahead and read these first. Couldn't help it. There are 22 Merlin stories!!!! Here are my favorites:
Buggre Alle This - "Merlin pauses, so Arthur leans over his shoulder and reads the rest. Great, they have to sit and hold hands and wait for the spell to work. The universe thinks he's married to Merlin. The universe hates him."
Double-edged Sword - "It's a different world, and yet it is still the same."
Acknowledgement - "Merlin was plumping Arthur's pillows once again, after twenty-one days of gritting his teeth, and listening to Arthur wondering if he should perhaps present Gaius with some sort of special gift for saving him when he'd finally had enough. Keeping his secret was all well and good, but no one could be expected to take this much torture forever."
Worrying the Thread - ""I need to speak to you," said Merlin. He reasoned that knocking could safely be mastered once he'd sorted out whether he would be executed in the near future.
Sighing, Arthur stripped his gloves off and tossed them down on the table. "You seem to have got it into your head that you can speak with me whenever you like. It's really very irregular."
Camlann - "On the morning before battle, Merlin helps Arthur put his armour on one more time."
The Last Word - "Love is Merlin's smile, exactly as Arthur remembers it."
That Shall Achieve the Sword - Arthur finds out. Uther finds out. Only one reacts well.
More as I find time to read them...
