OMG, what riches! : D I have received no less than SIX gifts, all of which are utterly lovely, and I am all overwhelmed. : D I actually have no idea which of these was from my match, and which are treats? At any rate, I very much recommend all of them.

Our Set is an Archie Curtis/Daniel da Silva fic, for K J Charles Think of England. One of my prompts was Archie meeting Daniel's friends, which I got, but then there was a perfect twist at the end that I don't want to spoil for you! Awww, lovely. <3

Joy Enough for the Both of Us is something I'd asked for a couple of times, but thought I might never get: a Darklis Ruthven/Lady Jean story, for Rosemary Sutcliff's Bonnie Dundee. I love this story and feel I could never have written it myself, which is really the ideal of what Yuletide is for. And it is worthy of Sutcliff's writing, which is no mean feat.

I received no less than three Keith/Ewen/Alison stories! : D

A Precarious Position is a missing scene set in my Three Strands verse, full of delicious unresolved sexual tension. Yum.

A Dark and Draughty Scottish Castle is a lovely outside POV on the pairing, where Francis comes to visit and none of his preconceived notions (see title) are fulfilled.

Talebearers is another outside POV, a really funny one where we see the various theories the servants at Ardroy come up with. And the ending is perfect! : D

My Madness treat, A Happy Disguise, is kind of an extended joke and a dig at my dislike of Alan's moustache in the NTS Kidnapped play, but it's also a lovely Alan/Davie story, where Alan is all self-satisfied at having kept Davie up all night.

Even with the small pool of writers, I am not very good at guessing, but I'll take a stab at it: I think [personal profile] regshoe wrote the Alan/Davie story, and that [personal profile] sanguinity was inspired by her own soreness after sword drills to write A Precarious Position. As for the Sutcliff one...perhaps [personal profile] verecunda? I have no idea about the K J Charles one as I don't know people in that fandom. But I know [personal profile] garonne likes outside POV, so I'm going to guess that she wrote one of those, perhaps the one with Francis? As for the other one, hmm. I am almost tempted to guess [personal profile] sanguinity again, it seems like her sense of humour (but surely I would not be lucky enough to get two stories from her?) Then again, [personal profile] garonne does like writing about servants...

I myself wrote two stories: one for my assignment, and one a treat! Feel free to guess if you want. : )
