Yuletide (edited) and 3 ships
THANK YOU yuletide and 3 Ships writers! Yuletide treats from photoash and misura in the Chuck fandom and a Futurama fic from Astrogirl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVED them. Go lower to see my rave reviews of these fics.
Casey/Frost and Casey/Chuck/Sarah: http://archiveofourown.org/works/144861
Casey/Devon/Ellie: http://archiveofourown.org/static/collections/yuletidemadness2010/works/143769
Bender/Fry/Leela: http://archiveofourown.org/works/139485
I also JUST got my 3 Ships fic; it's Leverage, with Parker/Hardison/Eliot and it is great too! Eliot decides to leave them for their own protection. You can imagine how good an idea that sounds to Hardison and Parker. Very funny fic with some angst but also lots of sweetness :) http://sesa.zvilikestv.net/2010/11.html#
The full list of OT3 stories (in various fandoms including Leverage, White Collar, Chuck, Supernatural, and others) is here: http://sesa.zvilikestv.net/2010/
-----------------
I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season :)
For the yuletide fic exchange, people wrote me OT3s :D
This Futurama fic was my Yuletide present and it is terrific! http://archiveofourown.org/works/139485
It's Bender/Fry/Leela, with Bender basically inserting himself into their relationship. The dialogue is so spot on in character, and the fic is absolutely hilarious. Plus it's Futurama OT3!!! This was the request I thought least likely to get, but then someone wrote this wonderful fiction for me. :) Seriously, the dialogue is as sharp as on the show, which is so badass. And it's sexy, too! Even if you don't like this pairing, if you like the show AT ALL, you'll love the fic.
Plus, two people wrote me treats for Yuletide madness!!!
Both are also requests I thought no one would do and I am so happy.
This one is Casey/Sarah/Chuck AND Casey/Frost!!! It's very introspective about Casey's psychology, too - a lovely character piece that's just the right balance of cold!Casey and sweet!Casey and angsty!Casey, with Casey keeping his past affair with Frost secret in order to not ruin the first real relationship he's had in decades. It's really poignant, and realistic about how much Casey has to struggle to keep his past in his past, in more ways than one, and the portrayal of Casey/Chuck/Sarah in the present is very hot and sweet too. Squee :) It's really great: http://archiveofourown.org/works/144861
And this is a hilarious and sweet Casey/Devon/Ellie!!! With Casey having to use all his training to resist the appeal of a warm bed and a good night kiss. The writing style is great, and so is the humor and the sweetness and the seductiveness. It has a really fresh style and it's so delicious the way Casey wants so badly to think of himself as a guy who doesn't care but of course he can't when Devon is there, seducing him emotionally AND physically. It's terrific. :)

If you wrote any of these for me, rest assured that I LOVED it - THANK YOU!!!

I have not had much time to read many other Yuletide fics but I had to peek at a few fics in really really rare fandoms, and so many of them were great, so here are a few that I read and liked (I don't know who wrote any of these so these are totally anon recs):
