Yuletide 2023 Recs

My recs for this year's Yuletide:

First, my gifts!

1. The Maiden and the Tiger God (Lady or Tiger): A very rich expansion of the story.

2. The King's Arena (Lady or Tiger): A way for the arena to work for all.

3. Unfriendly Warning (Eleanor and Park) (Madness): Jamie Sheridan lays down the law.

Regular Yuletide:

1. Jailbreak (Clue): delightful dialogue that makes you feel like you're back in the movie!

2. Lavendar and Green (Clue): This one is so good, you can literally hear the actors in the movie.  There are period-typical attitudes but not mean-spirited.

3. The Power of Prayer (Chalion Saga): Betriz does some of the Mother's work...

4. Planning a Peaceful Campaign (Chalion Saga): Preparing to cement their victories.

5. One Hundred and Eight Stitches (A League of Their Own): Delightful single-Dottie AU.

6. Quietly Smitten (Little House): Almanzo POV on Little Town on the Prairie.

7. the heart that loved me dearly (Little House): Almanzo POV, very sweet.

8. Matilda di Canossa Presents: Succession Planning for Dummies (11th CE RPF): Snarky and laugh out loud funny.


Madness:

1. Sleigh Bells Ring (Little House): A delightful short.
