First, I love the stories I received. I've requested Count of Monte Cristo Mercédès fix-it fic for almost as long as I've been participating in Yuletide; this year, I got *two*. My main gift was Only The Good Which We Can Do, which follows Mercédès's life as a nun post-book; it's beautiful, makes me think a bit of In This House of Brede (one of my favorite books), and is a future Mercédès that I can buy. I also received a lovely short treat, Sunset. And to top it off, I also received a Miss Marple treat, This Thread of Fate.

I haven't made it all the way through the works in sources I know yet, but here's my favorites so far:

there's not a word yet (for old friends who've just met) , Muppet Show. Beaker's POV, a wonderful look at how he sees the world, and the author makes the pairing work for me.

Searching for Snow, Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy novels. This reads like a missing chapter from one of the early books.

The Marriage of Anna. Frozen retold as a Nordic myth.

Frog and Toad Forever. I am in awe. Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad stories were a well-loved part of my childhood reading. This fic author wrote Frog/Toad slash that is lovely and sweet, and they capture the style of the books perfectly.

Communion of Saints, Bujold's Chalionverse. A closer look at some of the saints from the stories.
