I still haven't found that Jinjur story that I KNOW one of you mentioned receiving for Yuletide! Don't make me go back and read the whole week I was gone over again just to find it. *makes puppydog eyes* I beg you again, please leave recommendations for me to read?

I've been compiling a little roundup of recent fic readings, this morning:

Today's Yuletide reading...
The Adventure of the Expert Cracksman by Mary Crawford. A very acceptable (non-slash) Holmes mystery.

Today's non-Yuletide Christmas story reading...
Jeeves Makes a Move - Which was actually written three years ago by [livejournal.com profile] veronamay, and I probably mentioned it at the time, but I had completely forgotten it. Lovely and sweet Jeeves/Wooster first time revelation of feelings (no sex).

Yesterday's Yuletide...
Hamster's Long Weekend by [livejournal.com profile] tronella - well-written friendship fic about the guys from Top Gear. (I've seen all of two eps. :))

A Most Dreadful Christmas Eve by Traykor. Passable short hurt/comfort Holmes/Watson.

Sunday's Yuletide readings...
Bid Thee Welcome To My Heart by concernedlily (for Afrai) - quite well-written, but I'm sure I'm missing a whole lot by not knowing the source work, Susanna Clark's "The Ladies of Grace Adieu."

Secretly Lawyers by Scott ([livejournal.com profile] soda_and_capes) for [livejournal.com profile] entwashian - I don't know the source material on this, either ("Sugarshock"?), but I'm supposing that if one were a fan of it, this story would probably be true to it's source. I think it's probably well-written in it's particular genre, if that makes sense? I guess the point I'm trying to make is that this is a goofy, fun little story, and I'd probably find the source material unbearable. But if you like "Sugarshock" you'll probably find this delightful. :)

...

Now I'd better get moving - much to do before Dr's appt and then work. :P Not least - eat! During which I'll probably read more. ;)
