I've been away for the holidays, and have barely scratched the surface of Yuletide, but have a few recs in the fandoms I have read that I wanted to post before the reveal:

I...loved Danny and Jordan. Heh. To be fair, I think most people more or less stalk people they find themselves in love with at first. And, yeah, he embarrassed her and unknowingly and unintentionally compromised her, professionally. But he was told about it, and stopped. As to the medical treatment, there seemed to be some instances when she was not really able to take care of her medical treatment herself--once the surgery starts; she's never fully conscious or aware, according to the doctor, until we see her again. And, I don't know, I never saw Danny's behavior (the bad form with the whole "references" thing aside) as damaging, and struck me as pretty real in terms of the crazy things a lot of people do (and not unhealthily) when they fall in love. *shrug* I never found it offensive or bothersome in any kind of major way. But I know a lot of people don't like their whole...thing. The only complaint I really have about it is that I wish there had been more time for it, since I thought it was a bit rushed.

Totally on board with everything else you said, though. ;) Great thoughts, as always. You always have such well-thought-out things to say.
