Belated Yuletide recs

I'm way behind in issuing recs for works from this year's Yuletide Treasure challenge (see yuletide).  Here are a few that impressed me:

Slave Bear of Care-A-Lot
This caused a sensation when the stories went up -- and deservedly so.  Yes, it's Care Bears.  Yes, it's NC-17.  Yes, it's warped....

Transmogrification
Calvin & Hobbes; this slightly squicked me in one spot, but it's hard to argue with a lot of the author's extrapolations.  There's also a wicked twist ending which I don't dare spoil.

First Day Family
Darkwing Duck, by an author whose other work (musical and fic alike) I very much respect.  I'd forgotten just how amusing this universe was.

A Gift for Mrs. Pollifax
Inspired by a lovely series of cozy/spy mysteries by Dorothy Gilman.  If you're familiar with the books, this will amuse you no end.  If not -- well, this seems to be Yuletide's year for twist endings....

And O'er His Heart a Shadow
The Road to El Dorado (the animated feature of a couple of years back).  The author understands not just these characters, but the whole "road" vibe....

In Which a New Child Comes to the Forest
Christopher Robin.  The road to fic in the Poohverse is filled with peril; this one seems to me to dodge nearly all the potholes, which is no small feat.
