I haven't seen this posted yet, so I thought I'd alert members here that there were quite a lot of Eroica stories written this year for the Yuletide Treasures fest - including my own story and gifts to me. Here is a short summary of all of those below the cut
My Yuletide story: A Midsummer Night's Mission
Fandom: From Eroica with Love
Link to story on Ao3:
http://archiveofourown.org/chapters/2206361Summary: Major Klaus von dem Eberbach and his Alphabet are called in to investigate the disappearance of one of the agents - and his reappearance in a cult. Dorian Red, the Earl of Gloria - better known to them as the thief, Eroica, is called in to help with the investigation. But will the cost be too high?
I am very pleased with how it turned out, for my first Eroica story.
And I received the following stories as gifts:
Title: Blame the Catsuit
Fandom: From Eroica with Love

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1100703Summary: Klaus twisted his wrists in the manacles above his head, testing to see how much room he had to work. Nothing. The idiots had, for once, done a competent job in securing a prisoner.
Review: A fantastic little story, with Klaus showing a surprising kink, and Eroica taking advantage of it. I have been wanting THIS STORY for a LONG time, and boy, did I get it! The characterizations are perfect, and the kink is delightful.
Title: Claudia
Fandom: From Eroica with Love
Author: Nomad

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1080713Summary: Klaus and his team need some help infiltrating a club with an exclusive members list.
Review: Another kink of mine! Cross-dressing! The MAJOR cross-dressing! *fans self* Perfect characterizations (just how you'd imagine Klaus reacting to having to dress as a woman for a mission, and Eroica taking as much advantage as he can while being helpful and sympathetic). I loved every bit of this story, and could easily imagine it as being canon. The ending had me rolling with laughter.
Also, there was a marvelous Amnesia story written for the fest, which is a particular favorite of mine:
Title: You Light My Fire
Fandom: From Eroica with Love
Author: Seranade

http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2013/works/1083874Summary:An amnesiac Klaus is trapped with a wounded Dorian in hostile territory. Sparks ensue.
Review: Amazing story, very in character - and I loved the deductions that Klaus made: so wrong but so so right (as far as readers are concerned).
Enjoy!
