more Yuletide spammityness
Along with my blanket rec for Dr. Horrible, it should go without saying that I think everyone should read the 4 Die Hard fics submitted for Yuletide, too, all of which I should say something individual about. Maybe tomorrow.
From the number of comments, I suspect this has been recced all over the place
Calvin and Hobbes the sandwich story
The Young Riders, gen, Kid, A Horse and Her Boy
It's possible that I'm just a sucker for people who care about animals.
Speaking of animals...
Standoff, Matt/Cheryl Put Down the Bomb and Step Away from the Rhino
Pre-series. Standoff was such a terrifically banter-y show, and this totally has that, with the added awesome of a different sort of plot (within the constraints of the show) and that it is great backstory.
My love for '80s movies, especially the ones that were on tv when I was a teenager, seriously has no bounds.
Some Kind of Wonderful, Portrait in 3/4 Time.
Pre-movie, Keith and Watts starting to be friends.
The Breakfast Club, Brian/Bender The Tender Things That We Were Working On
Robin Hood, gen, the Sheriff, Resourceful
I think the Sheriff is in my top 5 favorite villains ever (if I total up the TV version with Alan Rickman's version in Prince of Thieves, it'd be a lock for #1) and this sounds so delightfully like him, scheming all the way.
Mary Poppins, Bert/Mary Wind in the East
Beautiful, delicate and bittersweet. I think every commenter was struggling to not just call it "practically perfect in every way"
10 Things I Hate About You, Kat/Patrick Won't Be Your Winter
Future-fic. This movie came out when I was in college, and I loved it beyond all reason. Patrick reappears, 8 years later.
ALSO! The final(?) part of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

hard4brains. This link goes to the final chapter, which has links in the header to all the previous installments. It's over 90k words in all, in 4 more-or-less separate stories. I love these stories more than I will ever have words to properly express.
