"This above all, to thine own self be true"-William Shakespeare

The round up of the many and varied things I was gifted with over the holiday season. Lots of fandoms and pairings represented here. Read, enjoy and feedback at will. I'm a lucky and blessed fangirl.

Untitled Hawaii 5-0 drabble - Gen by bluflamingo The team dresses as elves for Christmas. LOL funny. Don't drink anything while reading.

Snow Angels - SGA, John/Rodney chibi! - by chkc Exactly what the title implies. Cute as all her stuff is, check it all out.

Can't Mess With Tradition - SGA, John/Rodney drabble by morganoconner John and Rodney get caught under the mistletoe. Sweet with great character voices. It's her first in the fandom and we can only hope she'll want to write more.

Comfort and Joy - SGA, John/Rodney by hoktauri John and Rodney spend their first Christmas together in Vancouver. Lovely and hot. Realistic, sweet and domestic with a wonderful Madison.

The Impossible Gift - SGA, Lorne/Parrish, implied John/Rodney (Part 2) by clwilson2006 Lorne's trying to get the perfect gift for Parrish. Sweet and tender - left me with a huge grin and the urge to hug everyone.

Black Flag- SGA, John/Rodney by jade_1459 Previously recced, but now with the author revealed! Earth is never going to let Atlantis go home, so John takes matters into his own hands. It's serious and mildly angsty, but the ending is hopeful and the whole thing is moody and simply gorgeous.

He Who Laughs last (the Joke's on Us) - SPN, Jensen/Misha by anoradh Also previously recced, but now with author reveal. Jensen and Misha think they’re pulling the mother of all pranks on Jared by pretending to be a couple, but they’re in way over their heads. OMG. What can I even say about this fic? It's completely awesome. It's funny and sweet and insightful and just perfect. I laughed so hard I cried and I smiled so big my face started to hurt. And it gave me that warm, heart clenching feeling in my chest that always accompanies my very favorite happy-place stories.

You Have Twelve New Messages - SPN, Dean/Cas by misachan Apparently cell phones can be set on silent. Who knew? Certainly not Cas. It's a little funny and a little fluffy, but let me just copy my comment - I love Dean's desperation and Castiel's lonliness. They're both conveyed so beautifully and of course there's the promise - tender and beautiful - that they will always have each other.

Burnt Sugar - BtVS, Spike/Buffy by ladyoneill A domestic holiday scene with Buffy trying (and failing) to make cookies. Cute and funny and very them, with hints of the team-as-family dynamic I like so much, even though the Scoobies aren't physically present.

I think that's all of them, but my memory is swiss cheese. If you wrote me something and I neglected to mention it - I'm so sorry. Please let me know so I can correct that immediately. Thank you again everyone. You make fandom, the internet, and life a happier place.

I fully expect this list to be a constant work in progress. Feel free to drop your personal favorites in the comments. Almost exclusively John/Rodney slash, all exceptions noted.

A very happy birthday to sid! Let's celebrate with a rec.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. PG. J/D Friendship/pre-slash. Jack and Daniel participate in a bonding ritual while off-world. Everything about this story is breathtakingly beautiful, from the language to the world building to the characterizations. You'll feel like you're in the room, in their heads, joyfully tense with anticipation. This story is friendship but the insights into their relationship and the potential therein are obviously and gorgeously rendered.

(Rec taken directly from my rec list)

morganoconner has just posted the story she wrote me for pledge_a_thon.

True Colors. Dean/Castiel, Michael. PG. 6200 words. Dean is rather abruptly forced into a situation he hadn’t expected, and comes to some startling realizations because of it.

It's a bonding fic, and it's intensely beautiful. Character voices are spot-on. The language is gorgeous. Morgan makes you feel what Dean is feeling - uncertainty, connection, joy, doubt, love. The ending is as perfect as the rest of the fic. And as a bonus - there's a tantalizing hint of a tragedy in Gabriel's past that I'd love to see explored further.

I fully expect this list to be a constant work in progress. Feel free to drop your personal favorites in the comments and/or tell me how I could make this list more helpful for you. Almost exclusively Jack/Daniel slash, all exceptions noted.

mornincamper has posted her entry for the jd_ficathon! I had the great joy of betaing it and now I'm thrilled it's up so I can point you all to it.

Nosce Te Ipsum – Know Thyself

Summary: Jack’s determined to re-introduce Daniel to Daniel – and himself
Word Count: 2,569
Rating: PG-13

It's an AU of Fallen where Daniel opts to stay on Vis Urban and Jack stays with him to help him remember himself and their relationship. It's beautiful. Her voices - especially her Jack voice - is perfect. She's captured Daniel's inner turmoil and Jack's humor-hiding-deeper-feelings in a tantalizing look into a universe that could have been.

Go. Read. Enjoy. ♥

Extra ::sparkles:: and joy for everyone today, because *Andrea was born some years ago today, bringing sunshine, love, and loads of happiness into the world.

It's impossible to rec just one thing, witness my rec list, but do yourself a favor and read something!

Happy Birthday!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I love you!

I fully expect this list to be a constant work in progress. Feel free to drop your personal favorites in the comments. Most of these are slash, because that's my personal preference. Couples all noted.

I would like you to dance...

Or do whatever makes you happy. A very Happy Birthday to scifislasher /scifisentai. Your contributions to my Jack/Sky love can't be overstated. Here's a rec for anyone who hasn't experienced the unparalleled joy that reading a scifislasher original can bring:

Survival Mechanisms - SPD, Jack/Sky. It's a mystery, it's a romance, it's scifi, it's just amazing. Go, check it out, make haste.

I decided to finally start the rec lists I've been thinking of compiling.  I thought starting with PR would be best, because it's my oldest fandom and surely that would mean all my bookmarks are nicely organized, right?  Oh, so wrong.  I apparently took helpful shortcuts like bookmarking scifislasher's jack/sky tag and the starhawkfic journal as a whole.  And if I already had it faved on ff.net then I guess I saw no reason to put those links in bookmarks.  Plus I've recced things in my journal and didn't bookmark them, because hey! they're already in my journal  ::headdesks::  Needless to say, this is going to take longer than I thought.

Meanwhile, anyone want to add to my work and point me to your favorites? ^_^
