Yuletide: Wow, oh wow!

Guys, I got some pretty shnazy gifts for yuletide! 3 of them! I'm following [personal profile] rosabelle's lead and tapping the share button on AO3.



Pick Yourself Up and Get On With Your Life (2000 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: In Plain Sight
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Mary Shannon, Marshall Mann, Mark Stuber
Summary:

"So," Marshall said. "Mark's still on your couch."



Dead on characters, an author voice and style that make this feel just like an episode -- except, perhaps with even more delicious insight into the characters from moment to moment -- and an ending that's beautifully natural and satisfying. Not to mention a very fitting title! I like it when titles add to the story like that.

Five Ways Matt Made Simon Lose Conutrol (1408 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: White Collar RPF
Rating: Explicit
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Matt Bomer/Simon Halls
Characters: Matt Bomer, Simon Halls
Summary:

Simon likes order and control, but Matty is far too talented at making him lose control.



Written by an author who knows their strengths and plays to them -- pretty damn hard. This story has a way of making a statement about these two, then subtly shifting, then deepening it. Simon the control freak and mischevious Matt are written very round and very real. Oh, and: hot hot hot!

Nightmares (194 words) by Anonymous
Fandom: Warehouse 13
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Claudia Donovan, Joshua Donovan
Summary:

After he returns, he discovers that despite all she's changed, some things about Claudia are exactly the same.



I don't now about you guys, but that arc way back in season 1 where Claudia got Josh back and then he was there and gone felt really lacking to me. My yuletide letter asked for a patch up: this does that AND BETTER. Claudia is so very Claudia with all her unapologetic and vulnerability. And it's immensely satisfying to have Josh's feelings -- the choice of point of view played very well to this.


GO READ THESE. YOU'LL LOVE THEM TOO.

Devouring the archive does seem like the thing to do this week! (It's because fic is so tasty.) :D
