The Veterinarian's Log

It's about time I did this - there's some great stories written this year. So, starting from the top:

The Shop Around the Corner Alice (2009) - Hatter attempts to adjust to the routine of Alice's world. It is so sweet!

Written in the Stars Cowboys and Aliens - Even with his memories back, Jake still has nowhere to go. Basically, the ending the movie deserved.

Lullaby Dark Tower-Stephen King Eddie can't sleep, can't get comfortable on the beach or in his own skin, and can't really believe Roland said something that actually helps.
If Stephen King's new book only has a little of this, I'll be happy.

Go and Catch a Falling Star Lord Peter Wimsey / Doctor Who "No," Harriet Vane said, having given it some thought. "I don't suppose I do believe in spontaneous human combustion." OMG. The author needs to write More Of This.

Role Model Lord Peter Wimsey Viscount Saint-George never meant to make a role model out of his uncle, but somehow Peter wormed himself into Saint-George's conscience. This is... just perfect. So perfect.

Less Substantial Than Fairy Tales Nochnoy Dozor / Night Watch
Olga adjusts to life off the shelf and the modern world of the Night Watch. OMG. I've linked this one before, it's the one written for me for Yuletide, and it's amazing, yo.

Clear Skies Star Wars X-wing Series A routine escort duty provides Wedge with some long-overdue relaxation. In theory. And this is why we love this series. :D

Midwinter Toast Wire In The Blood In the aftermath of a case, Tony and Carol share their first Christmas. Pure, unadulterated fluff. Title taken from the Thea Gilmore song of the same name. It's the fluff we wish the author would indulge in more often. Also, I love that the cat has a tag.

That's just my short list of favorites with a brief read-through. Now I need to go through and find the ones I missed. :D

Yuletide fic: Finished! WHOOT!

May still edit it a bit. But. Definitely finished. :D

Also:
This thing. Totally addictive, and somewhat educational! I've gotten to level nine, but I did miserably on it, so I think it'll be a while before I beat this thing. I am amused that a town 2 hours away is on the list. :D

Also: This thing. Can it be next December yet? :D

Also, now I want Sherlock-Bilbo. C'mooooon.

1) Yuletide continues apace! It's already twice the length required, and the basic premise is only just barely set up. :D! If this continues, my person may get two fics, as the other prompt of theirs that I recognize the canon of is pretty awesome too.

2) ..... Okay, just gonna say it - the lead gal on 'Unforgettable' is the biggest Mary Sue character I've seen in a long time. Wow.

3) It's that time of year again! I have Christmas cards, and they should be sent out! The replies to this post will be screened, so no one's info will be public, but if you want a card, please give me your address! Even if you think I have it - I've got addresses spread out over so many places, it's ridiculous. :D
