hackthis_archivea) Dearest person who bought me mistletoe: Awwwww! Regards, me.
b) It occurred to me that readers of FNL fic may not be aware of the existence of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
be_perfect. It was originally created for FNL The Movie fic, but has had a resurrection with FNL The Show, so you know, ease on down the road there and join up to share in the FNL fic of all stripes. Yes, Virginia, that means het too.
c) There's nothing like showing up the party four days late and then being all, YO, wait up! This is my preliminary set ofyuletide recs, but there shall be another after the New Year, because that's what happens when you're a pimp ;) Plus, you know, with all this material to sort through I won't be writing until, like, the day after the new FNL epsiode.
Afternoon's Liberty. This is a Temeraire story, who for the two people who don't know is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naominovik's brilliant creation, and WHY HAVEN'T YOU READ THE SERIES?! Sorry, about the shouting. This story is about a peripheral character, Jane Roland, but it's just so right and so well done I just want to pet and call it George.*
*Of course I call everyone George
Come Correct is a snippet from The Wire, pre-series and for the five of us who watch The Wire, you will adore this. Stringer. Avon. WOOBIES. What?
Crumpled Pieces of Paper Found in the Wastebasket of Count Rugen. The Princess Bride. A teaser of awesomeness. So awesome in fact that my entire comment to the author was that they had scarred me for life.
Disco Lemonade It's Superman Returns/Batman. Yeah, I'll give you a moment to consider that one. And then think about the SR spoiler. And then think about the batfamily. Fucked up, no? Exactly! If you like your SR spoiler slightly less fucked up, try Maybe, Maybe, which is the SR spoiler of adorableness, but this time crossed with something else.
The End of the Honeymoon Pride & Prejudice -- Oh, Jane Austen, how were you so awesome? I think writing P&P is one of those extremely delicate matters because it's such a beloved book, but this story just slips right on in there and has you once again loving Lizzie and Darcy and everything they don't say.
You know what else slips right on in there? The story myyuletide santa wrote for me: Fortune. It's Temeraire, and if you're surprised that I'm pimping it yet again, y'all are real slow on the uptake.
Get Where You've Been Going Entourage. Eric/Vince. You know, it's not every day Entourage gets an influx of stories. Hell, there may be more stories in theyuletide archive for Entourage this year than were written during the entire year. A part of me feels like that should be very depressing, but mostly I'm just like AWESOMECAKES!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Valentine's Day, a Fantastic Fourth, and a Rockin' Cinco de Mayo, Betty Suarez!. Ugly Betty. Have you ever started a story and known before the first page was done that you were in love and that you wanted to have that story's babies even if the story turned out to have a drinking problem and a scary ex-wife? This story is like that. Betty. Daniel. And the Suarez family at their best.
I can no more cross this room than Zeno's arrow. Friday Night Lights So, I have this like thing for this show called Friday Night Lights. You might've heard me talk about it, oh, like ad nauseum. (There's a marathon this Saturday, too, just saying). This story is about Jason Street, who may very well be the woobiest woobie that ever did woobie. Whatever, I'm totally drooling all over this story and its brilliant characterization, because it has Smash and Tim and Lyla, and the author manages to exhibit that awesome slight of hand where, even if you don't love a character, you can understand them.
Into the Black and How Everything Turns Away are both Heroes. In particular Nathan. I don't really have anything else to say besides NATHAN!NATHAN!NATHAN! I know, you're shocked and thrilled with my beautifully demonstrated lexicon
Screenwriter's Blues Okay, so this is Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle except it has nothing to do with that. It really has to do with you being Neil Patrick Harris, because You hope the man who invented the Brazilian gets a Nobel Prize. There are no words for the crackilicious drugged out awesomeness of this story.
Not the First Date. There is nothing but mad love around these parts for The Time Traveler's Wife. If you love that book, you want to read this story. Oh Henry. Oh, Clare. *sigh*
Scripted Stephen Colbert. Jon Stewart. Talking about George Clooney. OH, BLESS YOUR SOUL, YULETIDE SANTA!
*And like I said above if you think there's something I might miss because I am but one set of eyes and that a fuckload of stories, then you know, TELL ME what to read!
And also, HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR!!! I'll see you on the flip side with Nathan and Jason and all that fucked up goodness that makes El Jay and fandom so damn great.

You ever touch my ride again and I will cut you up in little pieces and serve you to your boyfriend like my name was Nobu."
Hehehe. My mission in life is to pimp that fic to any Entourage lover. ^_^
that and my glorious gift!fic: <3 Long Distance Call <3 http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/22/longdistance.html
Its sooo cute and you can feel the love that is Eric and Vinny. I can't wait until I find out who my secret santa is so I can hunt down the rest of thier fics. ^_^
Ummm, do you watch Weeds? And even if you haven't its totally readable.
Harold & Kumar Go To Agrestic
"Dude. Milfweed turned us queer!"
http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/28/haroldkumar.html
OK so Anne of Green Gables was like so 5th grade for me but I couldn't help falling in love with a (most dreadfully) involuntary sin http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/22/mostdreadfully.html
Diane's voice is perfect.
All the Patient States

So adorable. Its a lovely little ditty about Toby and Pam interacting.
Toby shrugs. "It'll be a while before Michael signs them," he predicts. "We might as well go out for coffee or something."
Pam grins. "Yeah, and when we'd get back, he still wouldn't be done." Then she goes back to her game of solitaire.
It's a minute before Toby walks away, but she looks up and catches his wave.
Well those are the only ones that really stick out to me, there are bunches of others though.

Date: 2006-12-29 07:58 pm (UTC)The first is fore Dead Like Me. I don't care what you think of it, if you even watched the show. Go read this. Its m/m and breath taking. There's even a plot!!!! You'll feel like you know the characters.
The End: http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/31/theend.html
The second is Historical RPS about the Kennedys. Its/ incest and m/m but hilarious. And sweet. I did not know this fandom existed. And now I want more.
Ten Things About the Kennedys You Never Learned in A.P. US History:
http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/23/tenthings.html
The third is in Agatha Christe's Poirot series. It's Hastings/Poirot and wonderful.
Coffee and Cognac:
http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/24/coffeeand.html
The fourth is from Butch Cassidy and the Sundace Kid fandom. Run. It is goregous.
Colorado: http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/29/colorado.html
The fifth is more of a fandom than singe story. Run to the Dexter section.
