Yuletide madness recs

[vilakins]

These are treats written for Yuletide madness, all being fics of less than 1000 words.

Babylon 5
In the Midnight Dreams of the Emperor - Vir walking the palace at night
Gloves Come Off - Bester before his first visit to Babylon 5

Burn Notice
In Sight - Fiona keeps an eye on Michael; excellent Fiona voice

Cambridge Latin Course / Doctor Who
In Pompeium - in Latin! If you've ever learned it, this is very easy to understand, and they provide a vocabulary table. So cute!

Discworld
Observer Effect - Vetinari watches Drumknott

Discworld / Thursday Next
"Ook," said the Librarian - Fun with footnotes, and footnotes within footnotes, and very meta

Strangely, these all turned out to be at the beginning of the alphabet; coincidence only.

I did that Latin course! The layout looked just like that.

That's what I thought was so cute, that they did that--and also thereby helped people with rusty Latin to read it.

I did study Latin for 3 years at Grammar School but I would have sworn I didn't remember a word of it. But apart from a couple of words, supplied by the dictionary appended. And it is a very good precis of that episode.

Well done! It's surprising how much one remembers.
