I've not read anything like as much yuletide as I would like, but here are a few recs:
Yuletide
Proper Villains by Anon.
Information: PG-13, gen, 1k words, Ocean's 11, Basher - Danny - Rusty
Warnings: None
Summary: In which Rusty never stops talking, Danny does government work, and Basher is impressed in spite of himself.
Ocean's 12 and 13 can make me forget how much I LOVED Ocean's 11, but I did love it. This is a good one focused on Basher, with delightful Danny and Rusty accessories. Fabulous.
Listening to a Liar by Anon.
Information: R, 3k words, The Outsiders, Gen, Johnny and Dally
Warnings: None
Summary: Dallas joins the gang only a few weeks after coming to Tulsa. It takes a while before he's part of it, though.
Canon! This absolutely happened - perfect representation of Dally and Johnny through Pony's eyes, making it seem just like a prequel to the book. PERFECT.
Broken Knife by Anon.
Information: R, 1k words, The Outsiders, Gen, Johnny and Dally
Warnings: None
Summary: It seems to Johnny he's been watching Dallas Winston his whole life.
I cannot even tell you the perfection of this! Perfectly in character, tightly written with a fantastic theme device. It makes me want a very different ending for the book. D:
Comfort by Anon.
Information: PG, 500 words, The Great Escape, Danny/Willie
Warnings: None
Summary: Willie was the one who saved his life.
Small, but perfectly formed. My first slash pairing. <3
The Other Side by Anon.
Information: PG13, 3k words, The Great Escape, Danny/Willie
Warnings: None
Summary: You made it through the tunnel. It doesn't mean you're free.
Interesting pairing, because they seemed so different. This explores that perfectly.
(P.S. Last year's recs are here.)
Sherlock
A Priori and sequel White Noise by Rubberbutton .
Information: PG-13, Sherlock/John, 6.6k and 8k words, vampire au
Warnings: Slavery
Summary: In which vampires have enslaved humans and control, well, everything. Vampire!Mycroft insists his little brother get a slave -- even though it didn't work out with the dog -- and Sherlock chooses the one guaranteed to irritate his brother the most: an unassuming little doctor with an ugly past and absolutely no style to speak of.
So. I read this because it's about slavery, and you know how I enjoy a good slave!fic, but I must tell you - there is no kinky dub con sex in this fic! But! Do not be disappointed! It's a wonderful story with them completely in character, well-plotted and beautifully understated. If you only read one, reeeeaaad thiiiiis.
Merlin
Castle (the rules by which we live by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kick_flaw.
Information: NC17, 16k words, au
Warnings: BDSM
Summary: Merlin knows that getting off fastest when he's got some BDSM porno playing loud on the computer doesn't mean he'd really like to be that bloke, gagged and bent over and bound. Right?
Well. There is a surprising lack of BDSM fic in Merlin, given that one is the other's servant, and on the other hand an all-powerful wizard, but, whatever! Apparently when there is one, it is GOOOOOD.
ALL of Astolat's Merlin fic byastolat
Information: 14 wonderful fics. I particularly enjoy Despoiled, Onfidan and An Exile in Alboin.
You are missing out IN LIFE if you haven't read these fics. They are more-or-less my favourite fics on the interweb. A place I go for a quick pick-me-up when I don't have time to risk wasted time on bad fic looking for new things. BRILLIANT.
Hit them with a Shoe bythemegaloo
Information: PG13, 6k words, Merlin/Arthur
Warnings: None
Summary: For the prompt: Arthur/Merlin, Merlin loses (some) control of his magic, and to his dismay, his magic happily starts doing his chores for him. Bonus points for Arthur walking in to find Merlin frantically shouting at Arthur's armour to stop cleaning itself (or some other task) and he is horribly appalled, but then starts to like all the little things Merlin's magic does for him (e.g. tucking him in at night, cutting his meat for him, etc.). Basically, Merlin's magic is as in love with Arthur as Merlin himself, while Merlin remains furious and in denial.
Delightful, awkward boys. <3333
