Season's Fic-Greetings

[geoviki]

Just to get us all in the holiday mood, here are some slashy short-story recs with a holiday theme. Oh, what a surprise; they're all H/D this time around.

The Way of the World by zionsstarfish My favorite Xmas fic!

December by zionsstarfish

Present by wayfairer

Harry Potter and the Magic of Mistletoe by novembersnow

Christmas Presents by riverlight

Let It Snow by Aspen

Draco, Merrily On High by blythely

Fairy Tale of New York by titanic_days (Not precisely a standalone, but the de facto ending to his H/D novel, Snitch!) ETA - his unfinished novel, Snitch!

a welcome respite

Oh, thank you, thank you! I loved "The Way of the World," especially down and out Draco and the sweet tone. I look forward to the other ones.

Hi! I followed emmagrant01's link to your list of holiday fics. I made mine (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kalandor/14582.html#cutid1) some time ago but didn't find the wonderful The Way of the World (which is very stupid of me, really). It really is one of the best H/D Christmas fics ever! :D Thank you so much! (I added those fics to my list.)

Hi! I was just reading some of these recs, and then decided to go read snitch, but on schnoogle it omly goes upto chapter 11, and that was in December 2002, I think. Do you have any idea where I could find the end of the story? Otherwise, thanks for posting these links.

Yeah. In Alex's brain! He never finished it, even though so many of his fans think it's one of the cleverest AU's around.

The curse of the WIP.

You're not joking are you? I might just explode. Do you know how he responds to long pleading e-mails detailing how it would benefit the rest of the world (and my sanity) if he finished it?

You'd be in a very long line. He's not in the fandom any longer, though. There are a few ficlets, though...

and there was a yahoo group, here:

with a couple tiny things. But this Xmas fic is the closest thing to a resolution we're going to see. At least they have a happy ending!

Lovely list of holiday stories! Would you mind if I point others this way?

Feel free! These are great stories and deserve to be read.
