psocopteraTies that Bind, Bartimaeus post-series story (major SPOILERS for the series). Longer (about 10K words).
What This Means, your annual serving of Jess/Jules (Bend It Like Beckham).
And At The Same Time Something Makes You Whole. Remember Billy Elliot, about a boy who wants to do ballet? This is a story about him liking boys in dresses, and about childhood friends ending up together.
A Mouse Gnawing In Her Chest, your annual Blue Castle story. This time we get into Cissy Gay's head.
Turn a New Page, Tear the Old One Out. Breakfast Club, Bender/Brian. Explicit sex here.
Housekeeping. A Curse of Chalion story, Iselle talking to Caz.
A clear glass window, at a sea dawn. Another Chalion story. This one is longer, about 10K words, and plotty and character-detailed and gorgeous.
Revenge and Reversal: or, the Further Adventures of Jack Rogers, the Last of Barrett's Privateers. So this is the other great thing about Yuletide, the flip side of the tiny fandoms that reliably yield their once-a-year stories: the random out-of-the-blue fandoms you'd never have thought of where someone writes something incredible. Although I am only at C I am almost certain this is going to be on my top-five must-read list. It's long, sorry Josh (17K words), but it's original and well-written and plotty and awesome. If you've never heard the song, try here.
The Women of Amphissa. Another long (13K words) it-could-only-happen-at-Yuletide story, combining an Alma-Tadema painting, dinosaurs, George Sand, evil alien overlords, and... it might be faster to just go read the tags yourself.
