More Yuletide Recs

andrasteBehold, more recs! I still feel like I've hardly scratched the surface of the archive, despite having read more than a hundred stories. Here are a few more of my favourites. Lots of Babylon 5 this time, since I finally sat down and read all the stories in that fandom. (Almost. The novella is going to have to wait, I fear, for when I have more time.)
In Flagrante (Babylon 5)
Three times Londo and G'Kar got caught. Funny and heartbreaking, just like their relationship should be.
Into Thin Air (Babylon 5)
I love the way the parts of this connect in unexpected ways, and Londo and G'Kar are perfect.
My Late Enchantments Still in Brilliant Colors Shine (Babylon 5)
Susan Ivanova discusses cargo manifests with a Technomage. This actually does contain equal parts wonder, delight, terror and whimsy. And a Technomages who didn't annoy me! Truly a Yuletide miracle.
The Price of a Favor (Babylon 5)
I've always wondered what Timov got up to during Cartagia's reign, and this is great and very plausible.
The Snow Maiden (Babylon 5)
Ivanova and a Russian fairy tale. Enchanting and sad.
The Measure of a Man (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
I have only just started reading the fic about my other favourite space station, but I really liked this Damar story. He loses a lot, and finds some unexpected things as well.
Pastrami and Particles aka Winston's Third Day on the Job (Ghostbusters)
Winston! And Egon! Interacting! And busting ghosts! Forgive the superfluous exclamation marks, but I was delightfully surprised to see a great story about these two together. Not something you see enough of.
A Quite Different Case of Identity (Hark! A Vagrant/Sherlock Holmes/Raffles)
As someone who has been known to quote the Stupid Watson strip at people and also loves Raffles and Bunny, this was tailor-made for me. And I was not disappointed with the execution.
Scenes From A Gourmand Home Kitchen (Masterchef RPF)
Matt Preston sets out to conquer the croquembouche. I can totally see this happening. (Including, somewhat disturbingly, the part about the mango jam.)
Encounters with Elements (Sapphire and Steel)
Five people (well, actually, not all of them are people) observe Sapphire and Steel. Delightfully spooky, just like the show.
