Yuletide!

I wrote two things for yuletide this year: bake at 350 for 90 minutes which is a buzzfeed: worth it fic, told through the preamble to recipes on a food blog. I also wrote rosy as a flushed red apple skin (never been as sweet) which is faux academia about medieval manuscript illuminations. Which is possibly the most me thing I have ever written.

I've been keeping a twitter thread of yuletide stories I've enjoyed, and figured I'd compile them all here as well. I still haven't read everything I want to yet, so this is only recs so far. I was going through fandoms methodically in alphabetical order, but then I decided to fuck it and just clicked on whatever struck my fancy. So this is a bit of a hodgepodge of things!
