I'm a few days behind--life's been...not terrific.

Bucky Bear and Pizza Dog (Together, They Fight Crime) (A-Babies vs. X-Babies, 1146 words, G) by Odsbodkins
Summary: For Yuletide - what if Bucky Bear was a robotic teddy bear designed by Stark Industries?
There's a robotic Bucky Bear lost in the city, but fortunately Pizza Dog is there to save the day.

I accidentally stumbled on the previous A-Babies fic in Yuletide the other day, and was charmed to reread all of them. This one is really unusual for the fandom, and a delightful look at Bucky Bear and Lucky the pizza dog together.

Living in Oz (13 Going on 30, 1245 words, T) by misura
Summary: Jenna vs. the horrible, no-good future. (She's got this. Totally.)

I absolutely adore this movie, but had somehow never thought to look for fic for it, and stumbled on older stuff too--this one is a lovely look at Jenna's concern that she could have created a butterfly effect for the future by knowing what happened.

The Actress and the Inventor (Captain America, 1271 words, G) by Orangistae
Summary: In walks the most beautiful dame Howard’s ever seen, and he’s seen a few. Glossy black curls, long-lashed blue eyes, creamy pale skin, a regular Snow White, if Snow White had the legs of a pin-up. Howard lets out a low whistle. “Honey, has anyone ever told you you should be in pictures?”
***A bit of fluff about Howard Stark and awesome RL actress/inventor Hedy Lamarr.

When I was writing Celluloid Hero, I went looking to see if anyone had done fic with Hedy Lamarr before, and found this charming little story about Howard meeting Hedy when she's doing USO shows with Steve. He responds to her in true Howard Stark fashion.

Aww, I didn't even know A-Babies had fanfic. Thanks for linking! <3

OMG you wrote Celluloid Hero? Lovely series, one of my favorites. You made Steve in Hollywood during WWII feel so real. The WWII era is something I've always been interested in (my dad is a WWII vet) and Steve really fits in perfectly where you put him.

I haven't looked outside the previous Yuletides, but the stuff that's in the combined Yuletide archive is all great.

Ha! Yeah, I did--it's funny, so few people have read it that I forget from time to time it's out there, even though it's one of my favorite things to work on. My dad was a vet, too--we must be around similar ages (although my parents adopted us later than most people were having kids back then).
