Yuletide Recs

[ceitfianna]

I'm very bad at doing recs because I'm terribly unorganized. I've tried reading through things in an organized way but it doesn't work, now I go through the random works and find what I like. To begin with, I second everything that Becca's recommended. Now I will try and go back through what I loved since there's some wonderful pieces.
