Yuletide recs, part 2 of 2

[vilakins]

And here are the rest.

The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency TV series
For the TV series, not the books, they capture the voices and the feel very well.
A Very Serious Matter - several cases are solved
The Principles of Professional Pride - someone is making a film in Gaborone

The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency book series
This one has caught the rhythms and voices and style of the books beautifully. Stunningly good.
Gifts of Love - someone has given the orphanage a Mercedes-Benz minibus

The Princess Bride
A Duplicity of Pirates - Westley summons the Dread Pirate Roberts

Thief of Eddis book series
I know there's one of you anyway who will want to read these. Enjoy, emerald_happy!
The Landscape After Cruelty - Eugenides and Irene after marriage
The Princess of Eddis - Helen visits Attolia as a girl
There are more here. :-)

Vorkosigan Saga
There were quite a few to choose from, but I'm trying to keep it short
The Rules of Barrayaran Sex - scenes from Cordelia and Aral's marriage

Wallace and Gromit
Eh By Gum - Wallace and Gromit go into the sweet-making business

Oh LOL. Actually I was reading the Vorkosigan ones following the link from the bujold lj community and saw your name in the comments and thought what a small world this is.

Wow, those Thief of Eddis ones are pretty good. I can't usually make myself read fanfic for it because no one can write as well as Megan I have a weird mental block I need to get over but they were lovely and true to the series.

I'm spacing out reading the rest to give myself something to look forward to as I work. Thanks for the reccs :-)

I've seen a couple of names I recognise in comments too! I was impressed by the size of the fandom (hits and comments) and the quality of the writing, or I wouldn't have recced.

There are also two in the madness section (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletidemadness2009/tags/Thief%20of%20Eddis%20-%20Turner/works) which wasn't open when I was writing up the other recs.

I suppose you know some of the commenters.
