Yuletide recs part 2

Game of Thrones

They Seem Wild But They Are So Tame In which Sansa has actual dancing lessons with Syrio Forel. There's some definite UST, but more than anything, this is a wonderful character portrait of Sansa around season 1, with all her flaws as well as hints of the potential for future development.

Said the Spider to the Fly Varys and Petyr, in all their scheming glory. The ending was especially satisfying.

Desideratum Another Sansa character portrait, though one with a lot more teeth. Sansa's feelings on the Lannisters, her sisters and the Lady incident.

How I met Your Mother

Five Times Marshall Didn't Slap Barney Pretty much what it says on the tin, though the result is a lot more touching and full of insight into the characters than you'd expect.

Lost In Austen

The Elizabeth Bennet Experience Because Lizzie Bennet transplanted in the 21st century would totally get an lj. Funny, full of sharp commentary and a spot-on Lizzie voice.

Young Avengers

Grab A Blanket, Brother Tommy Shepperd moving in with the Kaplans, mostly focusing on the brothers but doing an equally great job on the Kaplans and the rest of the Young Avengers, and bonus Avengers appearances.
