I enjoyed way too many of the TW Holidays fics to rec them all, as the amount of happy comments I left everywhere no doubt shows, but I've picked out some more that I remember being particularly fond of. I still have some left to read, but hopefully I will get to those before the reveal too.

Support Systems Derek/Stiles but the parents are the stars of this one.
The Sheriff, Melissa and Chris bonding over the supernatural-related antics of their kids is fabulous, especially the wine and cheesecake deal.

never seen a man with so much dimension Lydia, Derek/Stiles (General)
Princess Lydia is definitely the star here, even with Derek as a grumpy dragon and Stiles as a misguided Prince trying to rescue someone who doesn't need it. A fusion with something you don't need to know anything about, this is wonderfully funny and charming, and the only way it could be better is if there were a few capital letters in the title. (Grumpy dragons have nothing on me :D)

Maybe, In the Future Derek/Chris (Mature)
Dubious consent via sex pollen, in a nicely structured fic with some great lines. The Chris dialogue in particular is spot on. I'm especially impressed because I looked at writing this pairing for my own recipient in one of the TW fests and it's a tough proposition.

How It Works Scott/Allison/Isaac (Mature).
Nice comfortable-feeling threesome development, from all POVs. Hiding and whispers and surprise kisses, yum. I love these three together.

Rise, Rise (Shake me with your love) Melissa/Sheriff, Stiles/Danny (Mature)
Great Melissa POV and a nice way of dealing with the 'sex pollen' scenario.

Pretty Much Normal Derek/Stiles (rated Teen at AO3)
I'm not a fan of 'Derek gets therapy' in general but it works really well here. The author managed to surprise me with the direction it took, so this one stuck in my mind. A good read.

It's Shake 'n Bake, and I Helped! Derek/Stiles with lots of Lydia and some Jackson (yay). Mature.
Er. Not quite threesome, not quite mpreg, bodyswap and utter madness. It's also a hell of a fun read :D

Reveals are tomorrow and I'm looking forward to thanking the author of my gift (still gleeful! and just a prod there for those who haven't seen the shiny Chris/Stiles yet*) Anyway, I'll try to post more recs before it happens, but I wanted to do an under-appreciated recs list first. These all deserve a lot more readers than they seem to have had so far.

These first two have apparently been overlooked in favour of sparkly festive fics and easier (or any) pairings, but if your tastes run a bit darker give them a try!

Once More With Feeling Peter and Lydia (Mature for horror, death etc.)
Wow. Sparse and horrifying, with obsessive psycho Peter and Lydia who still knows more than he does. ( Spoilery )

An Unwelcome Friend/Something She Has to Do Peter/Lydia (Mature)
I'm not sure why this has two titles (or is it just two lines from a song? I don't know the song, so *shrug*) but I am sure it's a crime how little attention this fic has had. It's a great, creepy read and Lydia (mostly) gets the better of Peter, or at least makes him suffer. Much as I love Peter, he deserves everything he has coming.

And strangely, these also feature Lydia – is everyone just off her at the moment? It's very odd. Gen to gen-ish and much lighter.

An CaoineadhLydia gen
Great look at Lydia working out what she is for herself in a few missing scenes.

An Average Wednesday Night Lydia/Allison (though I'd call it Lydia & Allison with a hint of more)
Lovely interaction, some great lines, and I love Lydia's view of Allison.

And one where the Lydia pairing isn't the focus, but it is there.

Scenes from a Resurrection Talia Hale, Lydia/Allison.
This is great in itself, but I have particular love for it due to the discussion Talia has with Scott about wolves in the wild. It's the projection of human values/assumptions onto animals that stops me watching wildlife programmes, it drives me beyond insane, and I love how this questions how true the acknowledged rules etc are for werewolves too.

(* And can I just say here, that leaving a comment just asking 'is there going to be a part two?' on a 25k fic someone wrote for an exchange may be the rudest behaviour I've seen yet in one of this year's fests. Ugh. They need a slap.)

If you read Teen Wolf there are 60 new stories and pieces of art over at the TW Holidays collection. The archive was being a bit of a pain late last night when the collection first opened, but it's working fine now.

My gift is fabulous (*gleeeee*) and I'll go into it in more detail when I do some recs, but I wrote a small essay over there already so you can see what I had to say easily enough :D It's Chris/Stiles, with Stiles as an adopted Argent, and my writer is a wonderful person who made a gift with SO many things I like in it I can't even count! <3 You should all read it and tell her she's fabulous. It occurred to me the second time I read through it that I'm 99% sure I know who wrote it due to reasons I won't say at the moment since it should stay anon for others (and it's pure chance that I have a clue). If I'm right then believe me she deserves at least one kudos/comment per word for writing this gift, so I'm not joking *g*

In previous fest news, I didn't manage to get any more recs up before the reveal at TW Fall Harvest, but there will still be some to come. My gift there will definitely be making an appearance -- When the Moon is High, by SuperfluousEmi (DEFINITELY not safe for work!) Peter/Stiles/Derek art? Oh god, yes. And it's hilarious to me because I'd only recently pointed out my lovely artist's username since it includes the name of one of our dogs :)

I wrote Chris/Allison for TW Fall Harvest, which was new for me, and had fun with it. Say Nothing, Chris/Allison, implied Chris/Kate (past).

And thank you very much to whoever nominated and voted for The Things We Do (HP, Bill/Charlie, the link is to the repost at AO3 rather than the original entry, but it was for the Bill Ficathon) at hpfanficfanpoll. I can't believe it won, but it was lovely to find out! <3

ETA: Purely in the interests of disrupting what I now see is the theme of this ENTIRE post, I would like to add that my currently anon (of course) story for TW Holidays does not contain incest in any shape or form, real or adopted! So there *g*

Yeah, so this is a good example of why I wish I'd, at some point in the last 8 years, found a preferred genre or something to write, because these two couldn't be more different. But hey, you work with what you have.

I'll update the recs posts with authors in a moment, and next up (possibly tomorrow as I have an insanely busy evening coming up) are Merlin Holidays recs. Phew.

I just ran into some stuff that freaked me out a bit via my flist, so I'm going to do some of the other mountain of stuff I have to do this evening before coming back to LJ/IJ/DW, but <3

I haven't read everything from

tw_holidays yet, though I hope to get to most of them before the reveals. I hope I haven't missed any, but I may have had a couple of glasses of Bailey's, so I should probably check them over later...

( tw_holidays recs )

I wrote a pinch hit for the fest, and had lots of fun with it. I think there's one more day of posting to come, but I'm not entirely sure when the reveal is without checking.
