More Yuuuuletide:

Erotophonophilia (Wire in the Blood, Tony/Carol, explicit), by lozenger8. I wish there'd been more fic like this back when I was actually keeping up with WitB. It's a tough series to write for, what with the canon het OTP, and the violence and dark sexual frankness of the canon, and quite particular character voices. This story does all of that very well.

The Mantle and the Maid (TH White - The Once and Future King), by eponis. Kay, illuminated by a clever and poignant retelling of an Arthurian myth. Featuring a lovely cameo by Maid Marian.

There's No Rainbow Bridge Across the Generation Gap (Norse Mythology), by mattador. Although this witty, creepy Loki story is an original one, not drawn from the plot or characterization of any of the pop-cultural Lokis I know of, it has what I'd call a Gaimanesque feel--maybe leaning toward the Douglas-Adams-y satirical end of the spectrum.

Playing Nice (Night at the Museum), by doorrepairgirl. "Hey, guys, how's the standing in lines and holding spears? Better than last night?" I never actually saw this movie, but this is a charming, imaginative story that sort of reminds me of that Bill & Ted story from last year, the one that made Socrates/Billy the Kid everyone's OTP for a day.

Triplicate (Assassins), by phoenixchilde. Sharp, weird little piece giving voice to the women of Assassins, which is a pretty obscure musical as Sondheim shows go. I haven't seen this recced much, and I hope it's getting due attention from the relatively small number of people who will know what the heck it's on about. The Squeaky Fromme section is my favorite. ETA: Interesting coincidence...

Natural Theology (Mister Rogers's Neighborhood) by wisdomeagle. To describe it would, I think, be to spoil it.

ETA: As always, there's good Hitchhikers fic this year. I liked Reunification for its great Ford & Arthur interaction and witty voices (and liked it more than enough to ignore what look to me like Americanisms in the dialogue I'm the only stupid American here--it's by daegaer! *hangs head in shame*). Plus, bloody Martin Smith from Croydon. :)

And! There's the lovely, funny, bittersweet Fast Away the Old Year Passes (Blackadder Goes Forth) by jimmy jazz, with an excellent Darling POV. I also like it because it put me in mind of the first Yuletide gift I ever received, so I went back to read that one again. Yayfor.

Damn, Yuletide is big! There are whole fandoms I'm saving for a rainy day...
