Yuletide recs!

[dreamflower]

Some of you know that I took part in yuletide this year, at the urging of danae_b, and I had a splendid time. The reveal is not until tomorrow, but it seems traditional to make some recs before the reveal takes place.

The list is not terribly long--I've just been sampling the various fandoms--I never knew that fandom *existed* for some of these!! Anyway, recs behind the cut:

First of all, the one for *ME*, about Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael. It is so perfect, it really feels like canon.

Cadfael

Agatha Christie--Hercule Poirot
Hercule Poirot's Morning Off
What does the little Belgian detective do when he doesn't have a case?

Explanations
A case; it really does feel like the explanations at the end of a classic mystery!

Bringing Up Baby
Havana Honeymoon
I could *so* see Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in this scene!

C.S. Lewis--Chronicles of Narnia
Three True Things About Archenland
Post The Horse and His Boy. I love Cor and Aravis in this!

Sea Legs
And how does Eusatce adjust to his own world after his first time in Narnia?

Diane Duane--Young Wizard series
Miracles
This really feels like a canon gap-filler.

Dorothy L. Sayers--Lord Peter Wimsey series
The First Year After
Harriet Vane and Charles Parker come to an accommodation.

L. Frank Baum--The Oz series
The Solitary Sorceress of Oz
This is adorable, just a beautiful bit of warm and fuzzy friendship, that feels very much like the book.

Mary Poppins--(Movie)
What's To Happen All Happened Before
Bert's thoughts on his relationship with Mary.

Mister Rogers Neighborhood
Harriet and Owl, and oh, this is so sweet and beautiful! I think Fred Rogers himself would be touched by it.
Natural Theology

R.A. MacAvoy--The Book of Kells
I read the book many years ago, but as soon as I started to read this fic, I remembered it all. And this seems just like what would have happened after the book ended.
Bride's Beauty

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The Merry-Go-Round-Broke Down
OMG! Everyone in the world has recced this, and no wonder! How do you write crack fic about a canon that is crack to begin with? Everyone is right in character--it is utterly hilarious, and if it doesn't make you howl with laughter, nothing will!

I loved that Poirot fic so much! It was just spot on.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your first Yuletide! It's so much fun.

*chuckle* Now that we're well past the reveal, I can thank you properly for the rec for my story, Bride's Beauty. I told a fellow Yuletider that the fandom I'd written for was so minute, that if I got a rec I'd pass out in shock.

Fortunately I didn't hit anything on my way to the floor. ;)

But that is the magic of Yuletide ... even minute fandoms get a taste of fic, and everyone gets a chance to revisit books, shows and movies they hadn't read or watched in ages. I'm glad you enjoyed my contribution!
