bearing gifts we traverse afar (yuletide recs v.1)

[unfitforsociety]

These are all from the yuletide archive (and there are a few more I'll probably eventually get around to reccing, but these are all the stories I recced before the authors were revealed (plus one pinch hit Ocean's 11 fic that's utterly FABulous).

In no particular order whatsoever. I'm cut-tagging, because it's longer even than normal (55 stories in 38 fandoms. I think. Math and I are unmixy things at the best of times, which today is not).

Edited 7/25/06 - I've split this post into several posts and removed the cut-tag. [/eta]

Good Omens/Dogma
Christmas Mixer by monkeycrackmary
Hee! Office Christmas parties are the same everywhere, and the Metatron attempts to escape from conversation with Aziraphale at this one. Witty, clever, with a spot-on Aziraphale voice, and lines that I can easily imagine Mr. Rickman speaking. (I will see Dogma one day. It's on my list.) Anyhow, read this fic.

Good Omens
The Probability of Ducks by graycastle
Just ducky. Sorry. Seriously, wonderfully ineffable and in character banter between Crowley and Aziraphale on the possibility of ducks.

Comfort and Joy by penknife
Crowley and Aziraphale do Christmas shopping. Charming and wonderful and... ineffable. Just excellent.

Eight Nights by daegaer
This is just absolutely darling. Aziraphale is sneaky and clever, Crowley gets presents, and their affection for each other shines through nicely.

A Precise and Accurate History of Monday, Eleven Years Later by giddygeek
oh, I'm in love with this story. It makes me all achy in the chestal area because it's so warm and loving and sweet and funny. Just completely charming.

Sandman
Take Your Brother to Work Day by marksykins
Lovely revisiting of "The Shadow of Her Wings" with Death taking Daniel along for a day's work as he attempts to become comfortable with his new role. Really nails the characters.

Discworld/Sandman
Whose Names Are Death by bravecows
Brilliant, poignant, clever story in which Death of the Endless visits Death of Discworld.

Further Reflections by foreverdirt
Susan Sto-Helit and Death of the Endless meet, and find they have things in common. Just delightful. The voices are spot-on.
