measured_words | Yuletide madness recs!

I have seen a few stories from madness getting recced, but as a lover of sort form fiction, I thught I would try and give some of the stories (especially the shorter ones) a little more love. So here are... (this is me counting) twelve stories in as many fandoms, including one written just for me, noted in previous OMG stories for me! post :D

Arkham Horror (Board Game): Lost.
A story written for me :D Based on an actual playthrough - bonding over shared horror, and the consequences of sanity loss @_@

A Study in Emerald: The Whitechapel Case.
A well executed drabble about someone who is not named Jack.

English and Scottish Popular Ballads - Francis James Child: Dress Ye Never So Fair.
Already recced elsewhere, but!! Creepy ballad fic. Beautifully written.

Fairy Tales and Related Fandoms: The Six Swans
The story re-contextualized into a Chinese-American context.

Forever Knight: The man who has Everything.
Vampires are also hard to shop for.

General Computer Anthropomorphic: if [ $FLAMEWAR ]; then make love; fi
Linux is a dirty dirty OS. Maybe Windows likes it more that he lets on. Mac just likes to watch.

Greek and Roman Mythology: she is a metaphor of herself
Haiku about Persephone

Old Spice Man/Batman/Feminist Hulk: Feminism in the Morning
Best Twitter convo ever. I also love the smell of smashing hegemony in the morning.

Othello - Shakespeare: The Handkerchief.
Othello's handkerchief - what it is to Desdemona; what it was supposed to be.

Quantum Leap: What DO you get a hologram for Christmas? (When he already has a comb?).
Title says it all :)

Slings and Arrows: Post-Apocalyptic Macbeth on the Moon.
Drabble about what goes wrong (everything) after Season 3.

The Little Mermaid (1989): to yearn
Another haiku, condiering lost landscapes.
