Yuletide Recs (part 1) - 30 Recs
Lots of recs, but I haven't read everything yet. Not even everything in every fandom, so I'm hoping to get another list up soon. Yuletide and Yuletide Madness recs.
Yuletide
Leverage
Track My Moves - Parker/Hardison/Eliot - The original story written for me. I was so excited when I saw that I got a Leverage story. Plus, it's OT3 AND it has Parker and Eliot working together to seduce Hardison. Does it get any better than that? No, I don't believe it does.
Your head's a dead tomato splot with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch - gen - Hardison begins a Christmas tradition with his teammates.
Four Times Hardison Told His Nana He Was Sorry, And one Time He Said He Was (But Totally Wasn't) - Otherwise known as five times that Hardison embraced his geekiness and did things that all us geeks have wanted to at one time or another, if only we had the money or means.
Leverage/Big Bang Theory
Thursday Lunch Cafe - gen - crossover with Big Bang Theory - Sheldon eats at the same restaurant every Thursday, and this time there's a new waitress. Otherwise known as Parker Makes A Friend.
Leverage/White Collar
Yin and Yang - These are White Collar/Leverage crossovers. They're both in the same place at the same time, even if the interaction is minimal. It's very fun, and Hardison is awesome in it.
Dead Like Me
Drinking With Death - gen - Mason gets a familiar name on his Post-It. Sad, but very like the show and very well done.
Daddy's Little Girl - gen - Daisy character study and back story. It's wonderful.
Greek
I'm Gonna Tell It Like A Comeback Story - Rebecca/Evan - These two are so perfect together. I want to read so many stories about them together, and I can't wait to see where they go with it on the show.
How I Met Your Mother
Junior Wing - gen - Uncle Barney has to save Ted's kids from their father's boring stories.
take these leaps and chances - Robin/Barney, Lily/Marshall, Ted/Mother - This is Robin's story, and the story of Robin and Barney coming back together.
Terminator Salvation
Losing Your Own Reflection - John/Kate - Kate thinks about her place in the war they're fighting.
From Eroica With Love
Breaking and Entering - Klaus/Dorian - Klaus finally asks Dorian for something he doesn't want to do. That takes kind of a lot, considering the lengths he's gone in the past to impress him.
Freaks and Geeks
Knowing Is Half the Battle - gen - Daniel and Sam hanging out at the mall, sharing girl advice. I love it!
Being Human
Stray - The house picks up a stray cat, and George is not happy.
The Constant - Now that the Owen situation has been taken care of, Annie is starting to forget things. George and Mitchell need to remind her who she is and why she's there.
Merlin RPS
Truly, Madly, Stupidly - Colin/Bradley - It takes Bradley a long time to get to where everyone else already is.
Center Stage
Throw Away Your Dancing Shoes - gen - Maureen, post-canon and trying to make it in college.
Breakfast Club
Most Likely To - Brian/Bender - This is the real world, after high school and beyond the gossip. Everyone thought Brian would be such a success...
Sports Night
The Offside Rule - Danny/Casey - A drunken Casey and a patient Danny come home from a dreaded soccer game.
There's No I in Team - Danny/Casey - There's a new enemy at Sports Night - a motivation coach that's come in to make them all work as a team.
The Mentalist
it's just a moment of change - Lisbon/Jane - A little fun after closing a case. I loved their interactions.
Hip Hop RPS
the more you try to erase me - Kanye/Lupe, (Lupe/Rihanna) - Kanye doesn't understand why Lupe won't sleep with him. He IS Kanye, after all.
Press Gang
Memories Are Not Made of This - Spike/Lynda - A typical conversation between the two of them, before the events of "At Last, A Dragon"
Yuletide Madness
Greek
I Won't Make The Same Mistake Again - It's Ashleigh gen that takes place after the last episode. That's not the best part though. Well, okay, just the fact that it's Ashleigh fic might be the best part, but it's also a crossover with bandom in a truly hilarious way. I was expecting something related to the Plain White T's, since they're actually on the show, but this was so much better.
Leverage
From The Lowly Roof - gen - wherein Eliot gets a phone call from Hardison, who is in a bit of a pickle. Only Hardison could find himself in that situation, honestly.
Friendly Misdirection - Seduction, Parker and Hardison style.
The Mentalist
A Matter of Trust - pre-Jane/Cho - Cho, from Jane's perspective.
Press Gang
Who Let Them In Here? - gen - Lynda and babies, two things unlikely to mix.
Slumdog Millionaire
Latika and the Flat World - Latika, trying to make her way in the world with Jamal and finally out from under the thumb of powerful, evil men.
