I feel horribly late doing this now but oh my goodness, I got wonderful gift fics this year!
First, I received
Pilgrims for
hlh-shortcuts this year. It's a fantastic medieval road trip with Amanda and Methos (who are both perfectly written) and I adore it.
Second, I received
Something Nasty in the Woodshed for
yuletide this year. The fandom is The Avengers, and I mean the British television show from the 60s, not the superheroes. It's Emma Peel and John Steed on their first case together, investigating something unpleasant at Emma's cousin's home. It's got some touching moments and some funny moments and some action, which is perfect.
I'm so happy with my gifts and I wanted to mention them on their own. I'll hopefully actually manage a rec list this year. I've so failed at that in recent years. Oh well.
