Shutdown (Allison McDonnell) - Earth 2 Nice Devon/Sheppard fallout story, combined with the end of the series and a mild crossing of the fourth wall. Rated up for themes. (Note: not a Yuletide rec.)
Paradise (unk) - The Princess Bride So what happened to Fezzik and Inigo? This story, which captures Fezzik's voice perfectly, shows how they tried other things before becoming what they always knew they would be.
The Hound and the Hare (unk) - The Pretender Jarod and Miss Parker at a greyhound track. Nifty for its symbolism and parallels, and the ending is sweet. Little bit of coarse language.
A Magic Number (unk) - Northern Exposure Wonderful little treat that talks about Joel finding a bit of peace, even in Cicely. I think it's supposed to be slashy but it doesn't really read that way to me.
Dear Trapper (unk) - M*A*S*H Hawkeye finally hears from Trapper after another long day. Great fic showing the dynamics and more than a little bit of angst and jealousy.
Twirling in Korea (unk) - M*A*S*H There was a lot of good M*A*S*H fic this year. A nice look at Klinger's internal dialogue shows us just who's sane and who isn't...and just how much certain things matter.
Mail Call Grouchy (unk) - M*A*S*H Another delightful M*A*S*H fic. Hawkeye's been at it again and gets to deliver Christmas letters as his punishment. Hilarity ensues. Including with this reader.
By the Waves We Left Behind (unk) - Austin Murry O'Keefe families Although they're in college now, Sandy and Dennys are both still haunted by their trip to pre-Flood days, and by the memory of Yalith. Written from Dennys' point of view, this story is a wonderful read.
