Going through the letters, I loved halotolerant's Battle of Hastings request. They wanted crack and this instantly occurred to me and my main worry was that I would not have time or strength to eventually write it after my assignment and the giant treat above. (Well, until I wrote it, and then I worried in case they wanted crack, but not a Modern AU.) It went down well, luckily, and everyone was happy; the perfect Yule outcome, except for me thinking belatedly of Jokes I Should Have Made/forgot when typing in a hurry.
Do you want 1066 retold in a 21st epistolary Organic Farming AU? Possibly not, but I have 100% for real been told in the comments that it has a better ending than canon. So, my fic - totally better than an arrow to the eye! It's official.

Hi Bill
Look, can we just talk this over like adults?
And the fact that I’m saying this despite the WIRE FENCE you’ve now erected round the perimeter of my farm ought to show you that I mean it. Please reply!
Harry.

Right at the last minute, I also managed to type up a hasty little Dracula (TV 1968) treat for calliopes_pen, a darkish little Jonathan-centric post canon piece, based on part of one of her prompts.

(I went over and over it after typing, but it was unbetaed, so apologies for any errors - just let me know and I will fix them, as ever.)
There really were so many great prompts this year, had I only but world and brain enough, but it was a lovely Yuletide that even included a tiny SotT treat for me on top of my gift. I hope everybody else had an equally lovely time with it.
With many thanks to persiflage_1, who never even blinks at the random things I send her to beta, especially at Yuletide! <3 (You dodged a bullet, Pers - there were 1960s vampires in the end! ;-p)
Elizabeth of York in shades of blue across the years.
