Yuletide Recs!

[brigdh]

I have been crazy busy with family and am so behind on emails and have barely managed to read any of the Yuletide archive yet. But I wanted to put up a post for the fics I beta'd, which, while fewer than last year, are just as good. These all have my official seal of beta approval, and you should totally read them!
