My Yuletide recs!
Fragile Flower - Black Jewels
A very sweet story + Karla!
The Ties that Bind - Black Jewels
An interesting look at Daemon and Lucivar pre-series.
The Two Queens - Dragonriders of Pern
Kylara gets a really raw deal in canon, played off as a one-note villain, and then forgotten as soon as she's provided "OMG ANGST" for the 'good' characters. This story is a very interesting look at what happened to her after. (mature content warning)
The incautious reading of poetry - Echo Baazar
I discovered this game though Yulechat, so it figures that at least one fic based on it should make it on my rec list. I love this one because it catches the atmosphere so well, and it's wonderfully erotic (mature content warning)
Die to Live Forever - Elisabeth
An interesting look as to how and why Lucheni narrates the musical...
Waking Dream - Elisabeth
I'm a sucker for Tod/Rudolf fic, and Yuletide always delivers with something dark and twisted. This one is quite wonderful (mature content warning)
Gazing into the Abyss - Elisabeth
Sophie is not a character I'm usually fond of, but this fic made me really like her. Very interesting.
Queen and Pawn Endgame - Exalted
I'll admit, I beta-ed this fic, and liked it then. I love the finished product even more. A great look at the Scarlet Empress after her return to Creation
We Learned by Going Where We Had to Go - Old Kingdom
A very interesting look at Mogget post-series.
Of Depth Perception, Muscles, and Coping - Tanya Huff, Quarters Series
Quartered Sea was actually my least favorite of this series, and I never got in to the romance, but this fic still manages to be very sweet
Open Your Eyes - Robot Unicorn Attack
Poor unicorn. Its running never ends...
Always - Robot Unicorn Attack
Ah, a wonderful little fic that has it's tongue firmly in cheek while purporting to be a serious justification for the Robot Unicorn
The Dress Makes the Man- Scarlet Pimpernel
Percy in a dress. Need I say more? I will. The mystery author has a wonderful ability to mimic the writing style of the series.
If I Could - Rose of Versailles
A wonderful character piece, and I'm a sucker for Oscar/Rosalie ship-ness
Happy Where You Are - Rose of Versaille
Sweet little look inside Rosalie's head.
