There's a group of people doing Interactive Fiction (text-based games and choose your own adventure) for Yuletide. I wanna do one so go post here or comment below with prompts and I'll pick one to do. (Because I'm insane and moving/three challenges due in december isn't enough for me).

Author reveals are up for Yuletide. I wrote two fics, the first of which ended up in the top 20 most read fics of Yuletide, which was awesome. ^_^

Belonging - (Suits, Harvey/Mike, NC-17, Includes BDSM and Sounding) When Harvey catches Mike at a BDSM club, he expects to be fired. He doesn't expect Harvey to pull out his checkbook and buy him.

Bad Ideas and Better Company - (Junjou Romantica, Gen) He knew buying the book was a bad idea. He didn't need it, really, but it called to him. He wasn't the only one it called to.

Also, finally got a chance to repost the HP fic I wrote earlier in the year:

In Shadows Found - (Harry Potter, Severus/Draco/Harry, NC-17) Harry goes missing during an investigation. Draco and Severus team up to search for him.

Avengers, Steve/Tony, PG - Match Game
Matchmaking: Avengers style.

Fairy tales - Bluebeard and Carmilla, M/F, F/F, PG-13 - Bloody
“I don’t want to marry him.” Laura threw a slipper at the wall. “He’s ugly and old and he’s been married thirty times and lives in this creepy house on the edge of the creepy woods and he dyes his beard blue. Blue.” She fell back on the wide soft goose down tick.

Carmilla, who did not find the woods or the house especially creepy, wanted only to be alone with Laura.

Fairy tales - Little Red Riding Hood, Gen - The Funeral Dress
There is no wolf. It's just a cautionary tale.

Love Actually, Peter/Juliet/Mark, G - Twelve Gifts

Love Actually, Peter/Juliet/Mark, NC-17 - The Gift of Love
Mark's drifting away from them.

Love Actually, Multi, PG - Feel It In Your Fingers (Five Questions on the Nature of Love)
Love is all around us, so let the feelings show.

Love Mode, Reiji/Naoya, PG - When the Tide Comes (I'll Take You Away)
Naoya asks Reiji to teach him how to kiss "like a man," a task Reiji rates somewhere between simple and impossible.

Sky High, Warren/Will, PG - Love Like a Cannonball
Being a superhero is harder on some days than others. Being a superhero in love with your best friend never gets easier. A series of scenes in the progression of Will and Warren's relationship.

Twelfth Night, Gen - Sea Change
"They grow up odd, symmetrically so." The trajectory from Viola to Cesario—and from sister to brother.

xxxHolic, Gen - Living Memory
When we have joys we wish to share, we remember.

And one other rec -

Yuletide authors have been revealed, and thus I can finally link to what I wrote. Also adding in the story I wrote for kakairu_fest (which had the author reveal on the 28th) that I keep forgetting to post.

My actual Yuletide assignment was for Sex Therapist, which is a wonderfully smutty single-volume work by Kazuma Kodaka. I read it a good dozen times as prep for the fic, though I'd originally intended to add more overt occultness to it, then ended up just leaving it to vague mentions. Have I mentioned how much I love writing for obscure manga fandoms?

Coming to Rest (Sex Therapist by Kazuma Kodaka, Tsuzuki/Kain) - The former priest Kain takes on the appearance of the men his clients secretly love, leaving him to wonder if there's anyone who will see Kain for who he really is.

The pinch-hit I grabbed half-way through (early Dec) was for a series I hadn't read before but the universe really intrigued me with it's kink. The two stories that I wrote off of are available online, though I did end up buying the PDF version. (There's a link at the top of the story, it's a whopping $3.) Nearly 7k of pure smut. I don't think I've ever written anything that used that many kink tags. I had to keep looking up what all was in the story. DEFINITELY signing up to write for this again next year.

Electricity (Mate/Whip-Hand by Lauren P. Burka, d'Schane/Terry) - Terry knows that d'Schane is hiding something from him and worries that his lover is slipping away.

And, finally, the last-minute extra fic that I wrote on Christmas Eve, a Rapunzel spin-off. It was supposed to be quick and short. I failed, but at least the story turned out well.

The Boy in the Tower (Fairy Tales/Rapunzel spin-off, original, M/M) - After the prince is thrown from the tower and killed, Rapunzel is left with child. Her son is taken away to live in the tower as Rapunzel's replacement, until a young lord comes to rescue him.

Also, the Kakairu Fest story:

Thorns Have Roses (Naruto, Kakashi/Iruka) - Genma bets Kakashi that he can't get laid in two weeks, but there's only one person that Kakashi's interested in.

Got another fic today for Yuletide Madness:
NCIS: LA - A Relative to Truth (Gen) - G's relationship with memory is a complicated one.

Days that start out hectic, on the other hand, don't have much chances of ending up as quiet evenings by the fireplace - at least in my rather vast experience of hectic days ruled by total chaos and disaster."

Cthulhu Returns (Gen) - It was not my job to save John Marcone.

Things Moving and Known (Dee/Ryo) - Dee, Ryo, and moving in together. Three years after the end of Book 7 and one month after "Like, Like, Love," from Ryo's perspective.

That is what Iwaki realises when he finds out the hard way that he has been neglecting his lover. Katou sets right the misconception that he will always be there for Iwaki, despite his love for him. Getting their life back on track challenges Iwaki, teaching him that he can't always do things by himself.

The Yuletide archive has finally opened. (Site may be slow for a while due to the hammoring of everyone piling in to read.) Three of my stories are hidden in there. Sadly I only had a chance to get one extra story done for Yuletide Madness, mostly due to the fact that I'm apparently incapable of writing anything short. >.- I ended up with four wonderful fics:

White Collar

Pear-Shaped - When Neal suggests a case all does not go according to plan.
