I got three Yuletide presents this year, all of them in the same fandom, Medieval Manuscript Illustrations, where I had requested battle snails. Aka this sort of thing. One of the fics was clearly tagged as a treat, but I don't actually known which of the other two is my assigned author. Possibly both are. You never know.
By order of length, there is In the Time of Kings, the story of a monk with odd ideas of what might be entertaining who accidentally conjures himself a fairy bride. As you do. It's an interesting bit of medievalism.
Second in length comes the tagged treat, A Demand for Butter, an utterly delightful little story about some accidentally gigantic snails and a number of medieval ladies (both literal noblewomen and women of humbler station) being immensely practical about the whole thing.
Shortest is Joust on Vellum, a nice evocative little piece about a monk doing illuminations and having recently acquired a pair of spectacles. I mean, technically it's the direct opposite of what I asked for, but I do like the story. It has a nice narrator's voice and is very colourful.
