person4Aaaand the Yuletide archives are open, so I can reveal what I wrote!
First of all, the story written for me is Wicked Games and Willpower by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elke_tanzer. It's a hot Fatora/Alielle from El Hazard story, the one pairing I requested that I really didn't think I'd get since Fatora's a really disliked character for many people. It was a great surprise!
Then, for my stories... you know how I said I'd written three stories and was done? Well, then I went on and wrote four more stocking stuffers the next day.
My first assignment, the one I was nervous about writing, was Between the Moons, a fic for The Lions of Al-Rassan. The reason I was so nervous is just because Guy Gavriel Kay is smarter than me, and I only signed up to write the fandom because somebody had asked for it when I signed up and nobody had offered it so I wanted to make sure that the person would get a match just in case none of their other requests matched anybody and there was no one else who could write it. Then a few other people offered it and I breathed a sigh of relief, only to panic when I got the assignment. Luckily, people like it!
My first pinch hit was Green-Eyed Homer, a pretty-much gen (though it was put on the femslash list, which surprised me a little since that relationship really isn't what the story was about) Homer-Lisa father-daughter Simpsons story. I was just as nervous about this one as I was about the first, but this time it was because it's such an iconic canon that if I somehow messed it up tons of people would be able to notice. But it turned out as the biggest hit I've had in all the years I've done Yuletide. *grins* I couldn't help but feel proud every time somebody told me the got sniffly over Homer Simpson.
My last minute pinch-hit was Like Sunshine, a Molly/Karolina story for the comic Runaways. I was trying to keep this one very light and sweet, since in the canon (the story is set about five years later) Molly is an adorable little girl and I would've felt kind of awkward writing something that wasn't.
First stocking stuffer was Everybody Knows, a Shawn/Corey from Boy Meets World story. I stupidly forgot to put my email on this one, so I don't have the contact information for anyone who reviewed it.
Then Perfection, a gen Phoenix Wright story about Edgeworth as a child. Both of these I wrote right after waking up in the morning, since when I'd gone to bed they were both requests that hadn't had any stories written for them and the ideas churned around in my brain while I slept.
When the stocking stuffer list went up again I wrote two more, To Call It Even which is a short Prestige ficlet about Angier. I had to keep the wiki page for the movie open the whole time I was writing, since I saw the movie once months ago and needed to make sure I didn't forget anything. This story has one word too many in it that I didn't catch on my final look over.
Finally, and this one got in just under the wire (fifteen minutes after uploads were supposed to close, actually), A Bad Thing, a short Sandman scene about Delirium and Death. This one has one word too few, so between it and the one above they even out. *grins* This was my second-best recieved story. From the readers I mean, not the recipient. All of them were great.

He's been my favorite author for years now, though somehow Al-Rassan managed to slip past me, and I'm only just now getting around to it. It's so lovely to have a new Kay to read after all this time! Kudos to you for tackling his brilliant characters, and for succeeding so well.
