Awright peeps, here's my Official Yuletide 2012 Rec List Of Infinite Doom And Foreboding, Vaguely Organized For Your Convenience. Warning: it may seem as if it is alphabetical, but it is only Vaguely. Just so you know.

Note: I only read things from canons/fandoms I'm familiar with, and skipped quite a few for time/length that I plan to return to later, so this is by no means a complete list of All The Things That Are Awesome This Yuletide, which is my way of saying that I WANT YOUR RECS, ALL OF THEM, GIMME

Second note: what the fuck, is it really Roald Dahl? Have I spent my entire life mistakenly thinking his name was Ronald? Where does "Roald" come from? Is it a typo of Ronald or is it a popular name in a different culture and I'm being insensitive? How do you pronounce that? His books scare me? This paragraph got derailed somewhere. I have been informed that it is Norwegian. So. There you go.

Third: I'm not counting any of this. You do it if you want to know.

Fandoms: A League of Their Own (1992), Alice (2009), Anastasia (1997), Blast from the Past (1999), American Actor RPF, Burn Notice, Bourne (all movies), Classical Greece and Rome History & Literature RPF, Clueless (1995), Common Law, Die Hard (Movies), Disney Princesses, Dogma (1999), Greek and Roman Mythology, His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman, Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte, Life (TV), Matilda (Roald??

So everyone, everyone check out the shiny Yuletide gifts I got! :D

This first one is for Tin Man (2007), the SyFy miniseries starring Zooey Deschanel, Alan Cumming and Neal McDonough.

Earning the Happily Ever After by Anonymous (6771 words)
Teen and Up Audiences
Wyatt Cain/DG, Azkadellia/Jeb Cain, Ahamo/Queen Lavender Eyes
Ahamo, Wyatt Cain, DG (Tin Man), Azkadellia, Jeb Cain, Lavender Eyes
Contains: Self Harm, Suicidal Thoughts, References to Suicide
Summary: Stories end happily ever after because they stop before the real work begins.

This one kind of blew my mind, because the author literally included almost everything I mentioned in my DYW letter. That's...kind of bad ass.

It's not fluffy, for sure, because it takes a really realistic look at canon, which is what I asked for. Kinda hits you where you live, especially in regards to Azkadellia. Just a really perceptive, interesting story. I loved it.

The next one is for Common Law. FUCK YES.

(We Both Reached for the) Gun! by Anonymous (1779 words)
Teen and Up Audiences
Travis Marks/Wes Mitchell
Summary: “You know why I never said ‘thank you’ before, right?”

It had always seemed so damn important to Wes that Travis thank him, but he’d never stopped to think of why.

Travis shook his head. “I knew it wouldn’t be enough.”

A post-ep for the series (D:) finale, "Gun!" Really fleshes out the last episode, as well as sprinkles in some liberal preslash. Another commenter called it a "post-mortem" which is really the perfect description. Really lovely and great. :)

As for me, I have two fics in the mix for my first Yuletide. If you want to try and guess go ahead - NO CHEATING,

jerakeen AND

jeweledvixen. I've got my ~eye on you.

One is over 6000 words long, and the fandom is kind of an easy guess. As in, you'll go "oh, no shit!" when you read it. I also think it's kind of typical of what I write, so that's a double-extra "no shit" there.

The other is over 1000, but under 5000. The fandom is also somewhat of an easy guess. I think it's a little less typical of what I usually write. It also contains het and femslash, but no m/m slash.

Both fandoms are somewhat larger than usual for Yuletide. I'll write you a snippet of something if you guess!

Happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates!

Would anyone like to do a quick quick beta for a Yuletide treat? It's a pretty easy fandom. Not too complicated.

I'm about to upload it to squeak it in before the main collection closes, but I can edit right up until it opens, I'm pretty sure. I'd return the favor if anyone needed it for any extra treats you guys are working on!

Day 3, sort of - baked pork chops and peach raspberry kuchen! Better pictures this time because my mother's cell phone was not purchased in 2006, unlike other people I could mention (me).

Reasons I abandoned my recipe meme: because I've been subsisting on coffee and spearmint gum for the past two weeks. I am significantly less happy with the lack of good food in my life but I've also lost like five pounds. I don't think that's a good thing, though.

I also have signed up for, let's see. 3 Teen Wolf exchanges. With the amount of writing I've been producing lately I don't think I'll have any trouble but still. Jesus Christ.

Day 2! Raspberry bok choi salad with a sandwich wrap.

Bok choi (best salad green ever), purple grapes, uncooked green beans, thyme, rosemary, dill, celery, mushrooms & light raspberry vinagrette. The kind I used is like - raspberry acai, and it's more like a sauce than a dressing, but whatever.

Then sandwich wrap with black forest ham, Wisconsin havarti herb (havarrrrrrti) and chipotle mayo in a blue corn & flaxseed tortilla. The chips are herb & parmesean Sun Chips. Dessert was sliced cara cara oranges dusted with sugar.

( Pics or it didn't happen )

Goddamn, you guys, goddamn.

So my

pod_together project just went live, which was a joint effort with the lovely

bessyboo. Check it:

The Dog Days Are Over
Life with Derek, Derek/Casey, Basically Casey wanted a dog, is how it started, and what Casey wants, Casey gets. Derek's not sure who wrote that rule but he takes serious issue with it.

I forgot to put it in the notes that

thebucketwoman did a beta read for me, but you're in there now! SORRY SORRY ILU.

Please go check it out because Bess did a fantastic job, and she made some adorable cover art and I'm very proud of what we managed to scrape together between both of our troublesome deadline habits. If you're not familiar with the fandom, all you need to know is that they're type A stepsiblings in love, and who doesn't want to read about that? NOBODY!

The 30 Days of Lunch Meme! From nobody, because I just made this up.

For the next month, eat something every day that is delicious and makes you happy. Are you dieting? Fuck dieting. Life is short and food is life, so chow it down and throw it up in order to entice others to join you in your gastronomical passion party.

(Note: Interpret "lunch" as loosely as you want because nobody wants to see a picture of the can of Mountain Dew and Kudos bar that you wolfed down on lunch break last Thursday. No offense, but we have our own shame.)

Day One! Reuben sandwich, the "Meagan and her mom at 3 AM" version.

( Pics or it didn't happen. )

Grill marble rye bread spread with butter (just a little) with Thousand Island dressing and Havarti cheese (because we have history with Swiss and as such it is persona non grata 'round these here parts). Grill - separately - turkey pastrami and sauerkraut (just enough to scorch it and get it hot), pile all together and serve with baked Ruffles. Party hard.

Turkey pastrami is a lot milder than regular pastrami or corned beef, and so it makes it so you can taste everything better, I think. It's also juicier, which makes the sandwich messier, but if you don't get messy eating a Reuben you're doing it wrong. Anyway I like turkey pastrami a lot better, it's not nearly as overpowering, especially paired with the kraut.

Fun fact: when I was a young'un I had this friend Leah who loved these, and we tried for years to figure out how to bring them with us successfully on car trips. We never quite figured it out, but since we were driving around Iowa and Nebraska we found them at every diner we stopped at, natch.

I'm getting pretty ace at this cooking good food thing. Check it out, cuz I'm excited!

( Roasted Zucchini Mint Salad and Chocolate Orange Cloud Cake )

I made all of it with spaghetti carbonara and BAM! Everyone loved me. Because this is delicious, and also maybe because I left the pancetta fat in the sauce when I made the spaghetti. Either one. Fuck dieting.

GUYS GUYS GUYS

Since I apparently have fic ADD lately, I've abandoned figuring out the next chapter of the Teen Wolf bunny rabbit thing and apparently started a huge, epic Spider-Man fic. Because, uh, why not.

It's sitting at about 10,000 words right now and it will probably be around 20k when it's done, maybe. I dunno. I've seriously written this thing over the course of like three days, and I have the whole plot convalescing in my head and I'm super excited about it.

I would use it for something like the Marvel big bang, but sign ups are closed. Off topic: I really, really hate that big bangs close author sign ups right away. It's like, what if I didn't know about it?! What if I come up with a huge story in the beginning of August that I'd like to use for a big bang but the only one available closed sign ups two months ago?! Even though there's still plenty of time for me to finish and get the story edited in time for the due date in September?! Goddamn it!

This has happened to me like five or six times, I cannot even tell you. Frustrated.

( Rambling included; spoilers for the Avengers and the new Spider-Man )

So, would anyone like to read it? I could use some opinions. It's very plot driven, so don't expect anything special, but I am super psyched about this piece and I'd like to have someone to talk about it with. I realize this is like the fifth time I've asked this this month, but any takers?

So I wouldn't normally do this, but I've been going through a lot of the shit I have on my hard drive now that my computer and I have been reunited and I found this thing that I started months ago, that has now been effectively Jossed. I'm not going to do anything with it because well, playing around with canon is more interesting, but if anyone likes the idea feel free to run with it.

I still hope Show makes Lydia into a bad ass. Because come the fuck on, if she's just going to be Ginny Weasley for the rest of forever I'm gonna be pissed.
