luzulaI am now "done" with Yuletide, in the sense that I've gone through all fandoms that I'm interested in and read everything shorter than 5K words and put the longer stuff on my ereader. So here are some more recs!
the leaning grasses and two lights above the sea bytoft (Earthsea, with Ged, Tenar, and Seserakh)
This has Le Guin's appreciation of domestic daily life, and Seserakh is beautifully written, especially as seen through Tenar's eyes.

jediseagull (The Course of Honour, Jainan/Kiem)
I am a sucker for this pairing and how they support and complement each other.
The Theft and the Gift bydr_zook (Norse mythology, with Heimdall, Loki, Freya, Thor)
Vivid and interesting characterization, with an ending and a beginning that hang together ominously.
better cheated to the last byDamkianna (The Sting, Henry Gondorff/Johnny Hooker)
Aaah, I ship these two so hard, and this fic captured them perfectly, the way they can catch each other cues without speaking.
She Who Saw the Deep bylnhammer (Gilgamesh)
This is about Gilgamesh and Enkidu seen through the eyes of Shamhat, the woman who brings Enkidu into civilization by having sex with him. I really like how she's written as an interesting character in her own right.
The Business and Process of Writing byphnelt (Galaxy Quest, mostly gen)
Delightful ensemble fic set during the filming of a new Galaxy Quest series.
Csethiro Ceredin Speaks Her Mind byBeccaStareyes
Csethiro's view of Maia's proposal and the process of her learning more about Maia himself.
The Work of Feeding Humans byMiss_M (Robin McKinley's Sunshine, Constantine/Rae "Sunshine" Seddon)
Con helps Sunshine with the baking.
In which there are an Abundance of Wings byaedifica (Diana Wynne Jones' Howl's Moving Castle)
A short story with delightful living furniture.
