Yuletide fics through the years
Because I feel the need to write something cheerful rather than gloomy, I bring you a Yuletide retrospective. I must admit I hadn't thought about how many years I'd been doing Yuletide. Wow. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
2005NYR: Al Dente. Secret Adventures of Jules Verne. Going back to my roots and having some fun. This was back when you had to write a NYR fic to get into the main exchange.
2005: The Beginning of Education. A Max Headroom fic, and not my best Yuletide fic ever. I realized at that point that I just can't write dystopian stuff.
2007: Held Together but Separable. Team as family. Hi, Mara's favorite kink! You explain why she wrote so much Batverse, huh? I got to write some folks I almost never write about, so that was awesome.
Also 2007: A Vote for Survival. I do love me some Liaden 'verse :) Given the year, I'm kind of surprised I wrote a pregnancy fic. Although...now that I think about it, the exact discussion kinda makes sense.
2008: Acuteness of Desire. More Secret Adventures of Jules Verne. In which I attempt a pairing I don't ship at all and do a halfway decent job, considering. I almost convinced myself!
2009: End in Lovers Meeting. Jaime Reyes is a wonderful boy and a great Blue Beetle and OMG it was so fun to write this.
Also 2009: If I Forget Thee. Tony Foster/Lee Nicholas are one of my fave canon gay couples and this was also super fun. I crowdsourced the solution to the problem I'd created for the characters and it worked great.
2010: Beside My Lonely Fire. Blood Ties fic. It's not often I write Henry/Mike without Vicki, but this worked better than I thought.
2010 Madness: His Ready Help Was Always Nigh. Wasn't this the year Perri and I wrote each other fics in this same book fandom? The Kris Longknife series is a lot of fun.
2011: The Substitute for Genius. Here's the time I tried to write a pairing I don't ship and had to give up. I think the fic is pretty funny anyway. When Miles Vorkosigan is involved, how can it not be?
2012: That Quick Comradeship of Letters Sorcery and Cecelia fic always makes me happy. Once again I tried a pairing I don't ship and it worked in an interesting fashion.
2014: A Captain Bold. Heh. I knew exactly what my recipient wanted from a Gokaiger fic and I wrote it. OT6 4eva!
2015: Nor Any Drop to Drink. Zyuranger! I love Geki and Goushi and it was a ton of fun to write them in Tokyo.
2016: Thy Smile Be Lost to Sight. This is the fic I described as being so very much by me, it might as well be an acrostic spelling out "This fic was written by Mara." It's Captain Marvelous (Gokaiger) and Godai Yuusuke (Kuuga) talking in a restaurant. It just needed accidental baby acquisition or a sex scene to be more me ;)
Huh. I thought Portents of Magic and Might was also a Yuletide fic, but...maybe not? I wonder if it's that missing 2006 fic? Because I was pretty sure I wrote for the challenge that year, but I couldn't find anything. Anyway, it's Sorcery and Cecelia and actually has a plot and I love it to pieces.
