Okay, I've had my second pass at Yuletide and am officially done. Is it just me or are the fics of a really high standard this year? I've only included a few recs here, for ones I'll definitely want to reread, but there were also many, many others I loved, in a variety of fandoms.

In this case, that Suits fic that’s being recced everywhere - 5U175 - ( Read more... )

Huh, a while back I was doing all these fandom related posts and not finishing them and now I'm watching Rizzoli and Isles instead of studying. I love this show. As usual, could care less about the crime, just in it for the relationships, in this case the wonderful friendship (I try to slash them but they keep inconviently falling in love with ( Read more... )

I never want to know when celebrities I like are arseholes 'cause it affects my enjoyment of their work. OTOH, hearing stories of them being awesome just make me love them more. Here's a great Robert Downey Jr story, yay!
