Yuletide 2011 fic recs part 1: for meeeee

I got a Companion to Wolves story! Einsamerwolf, about Isolfr, and whether he's lonely. (Spoiler: no.) As much as I like romance, I am also excited to see more stories in fandom showing people living satisfying lives in non-shipping-centric ways, and this was a really satisfying look at how life might make sense for Isolfr, that totally makes sense for the character.
