Yuletide recs

I have by no means browsed through the whole Yuletide archive yet, but here are some recs. My method of reading is to go in reverse alphabetical order and read all the reasonably short fic (everything that's longer than about 5000 words goes on my to-read list).

( Winter's Bone, Temeraire, Hamlet/Doctor Faustus, Mongolian History RPF, The Sandman, Egyptian Mythology, Oxford Time Travel Universe )

Sorry, no dSSS recs. But I'll be doing crack van in January, and I'm sure some of the dSSS fics will end up there.
