Yay for genfics! Yuletide is awesome in part becauswe there usually is a LOT of genfic produced. Really, any pairing I like, I enjoy friendship stories about them with similar intensity.
Dark stories with just a pinprick of joy to make the unbearable bearable.
You and I are mirror images, because I love generally happy stories with just a shiver of angst to remind everyone happiness is fleeting. :)
Not-so-young and not-so-lovely characters that make up for it with enthusiasm and flirtatiousness.
Gah, I have SUCH a thing for this, and not surprisingly it gets stronger as I get older myself. :)
Hurt/comfort of the understated kind, where the hurt one does not panic or whine, and the comforting one does not wipe sweat off fevered brows, but where the hurt is real and mostly hidden, and the comfort is grudging or awkward or slow to come.
*gurgles happily*
Fic that lacks plot but reads like poetry.
I admire and envy people who can write like this so much!

Muted shipping. Muted yearning. Anything muted, really.
Mmmmmmyes. Also, yay for the PG-13 label! Almost all of my favorite stories, written or read, fall into that wonderful category with the muted sex. :)
