Here are my reccs from the first half of the alphabet + my gift! Please mind the tags. If you want to recc me your Yuletide favs, please do!

A Perfectly Natural Product of Present Civilization | Nikita (TV), Nikita/Michael
What an amazing fic gift! 13k of 1920s AU - Alex and Nikita taking down a baddie, complete with an undercover scene at a speakeasy and Michael realizing what side he should be on. I loved the world-building and I'm so glad that it has a happy ending. The exploration of 1920s tech is great, too! ♥

An Account of the Nanite Epidemic in Broad Street | 1850s London Cholera Epidemic RPF
A space AU! About a historical epidemic! Featuring some fascinating world building and robot/human friendships. I knew nothing about this epidemic before reading, but I was instantly drawn in by the thoughtful prose.
★
Monsters Cuvier Did Not Dream Of | 19th Century Paleontology RPF, Cope/Marsh
A really heart wrenching take on the bone wars. I loved the angst as the main character gets self-reflective in his old age. Plus, the details about the discovered creatures really gripped my imagination.
★
Close Your Mouth (Open Your Heart) | Justice League, Bruce/Clark
All of my favorite Bruce and Clark personality traits - Bruce being stubborn and aloof post-canon, and Clark trying to desperately to make a connection. The slow build is delicious. Plus, Alfred is a great observer as always.

Ferda Bis | Letterkenny, Rielly/Jonesy
This little scene is hilarious and could absolutely have been on the show.

Skip to the Practical Part | Letterkenny, Reilly/Jonesy
A 5 times fic with conflicted boys and so much flirting. Plus, I really like how the author handles their past canon poly relationship with Katy.
