"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.
