I am working slowly but surely through the Yuletide archive. You know, next year I think I'll space out my MtYG reading as well, because I'm starting to think that there were a lot of stories I would've liked if I wasn't rushed and doing other holiday stuff in-between reading them. Hmmm. At any rate! Now that both reveals have gone up, I can do that writing meme. But in the meantime:
. the world is crumbling around us! [macdonald hall]: What would the holidays be without a little Bruno & Boots? Nothing, that's what! Here's a Five Things story that skips along with all the sass of the books.
. hotter than hell and hellfire [rescue me]: twinned fics about Tommy Gavin and his penchant for self-destruction, one quite hot and one pretty disturbing -- the first is a sharp little slash piece, the second ... okay, I've read incest fics before, but most of what I read is so unrealistic and blown out of proportion that it never bothered me. Hellfire, while not being graphic or having anything actually *happen*, is profoundly disturbing because it *does* seem realistic. It's a compelling story, but I wanted to make the disclaimer so anybody deciding to read it isn't ambushed by the subject matter.
. your only friend [desperado]: homg, I was so delighted to find fic in this fandom! And this story, told by Steve Buscemi's character, is just the right blend of gritty-gold western, lyrical and maudlin and beautiful all at once.
. macdonald hall is fabulous [macdonald hall]: Man, it's a good year for Gordan Korman fans. This story is every bit as fast-paced, fun, loveable and awesome as its source material, with the added bonus of being pro-gay in the best of ways. hee!
. detente [hairspray]: a piece about Penny, thoughtful and soulful without losing any sweetness. Plus, I love the title; what a stroke of inspiration, and how fitting to the story!
. up and away [homicide/batman]: AHAHAHH AWESOME. Munch rightly absconds from the drek of s7 and decides to try out being police in a new city, and the one he chooses is Gotham. Funny and smart and faithful to both universes, which is a true gift.
