TAKE IT, RUSS.
The Yuletide Meme, courtesy of my entire flist. Naturally, I'm using it to stall on this year's Yuletide.
2008
A Basket of Cellophane
Life (TV), Charlie Crews/Ted Earley, Rachel Seybolt, PG-13
"I mean, I'm not Robin or Alfred, so am I Mary Jane?"
My first ever Yuletide! I had no idea how the offers worked, which is how I ended up writing slash for a show I only casually watched. It's still one of my favourite stories, honestly. It was a delight to write. I can't even remember what the prompt was, but do remember being surprised by how well it was received. Easiest Yuletide ever, and it made me an immediate convert.
2009
Intreat Me Not to Leave Thee
Life (TV), Karen Davis, Dani Reese, gen
Davis is Jack Reese's partner for a long time.
First of all, since it confused the crap out of all the reccers that year: THE TITLE IS FROM THE KING JAMES VERSION. IT REALLY DOES SAY "INTREAT". Other than that gripe, I really don't remember a ton about this fic? I was a bit unnerved to get Life again, I think, but I did enjoy writing about baby Dani Reese. Also, this was ALMOST Karen Davis/Dani Reese in a completely one-sided, creepy way, but I pulled it back at the last second. I still halfway wish I hadn't.

Wicked (Bookverse), Elphaba/G(a)linda, PG
Glinda doesn't remember very much of her school days.
My first treat. I remember less than nothing about this one. Upon re-reading though, boy, could it have used another edit.
2010
You Have Not Yet Learned To Crawl
The Good Wife, Alicia/Kalinda, R
The first time Kalinda kisses her, it isn't entirely a surprise.
Oh, writing this was so much fun. First time I ever tested out the pairing, and I still think it's the most in character I've ever had them. Also fairly well received, for being a femslash couple in a pretty tiny fandom.
Works and Days
His Dark Materials, Serafina Pekkala/Farder Coram, R
Farder Coram meets Serafina Pekkala during the last days of summer.
Boy howdy, all my treats certainly are moody, aren't they? I AM SORRY, UNSUSPECTING RECIPIENTS.
2011
As I Always Say
The Magic School Bus, Ms. Frizzle, gen
Ms. Frizzle has always enjoyed the third grade.
THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE THING EVER. Definitely the closest I ever got to Yuletide fame, and it was all thanks to the completely amazing prompt (which basically consisted of Ms. Frizzle = time lord, because of COURSE). I barely know Doctor Who, and I think I knew even less at the time I wrote the fic, but as soon as I saw the request I knew I had to try. It turned out to less of a crossover, more of an allusions of, but whatever. I loved it. I loved writing it. Plus it has bonus Mary Poppins, so I'm declaring it a win.
