Definitely adding these to my already huge To Read list, but I'll list a handful of my faves that aren't on here, for you and anyone who likes similar stuff!

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
One Of Their Better Parties, GOB/Tony Wonder, G I love when Michael is shown to be the worst of the Bluths, as he arguably is. This is what I wanted after season four and it's really in the tone of all characters involved. Really adorable, too. Part of why I love GOB/Tony is how they are absolutely adorable together. Like high school sweethearts but middle aged, washed up, creepy men?? IDK, it works.
BROOKLYN NINE NINE
a distinct lack of tutus, Diaz/Santiago, T Rosa and Amy go undercover at a gay bar. Pretty obvious and direct a premise, but it's really great. The dialogue and voices are SPOT ON.
Bribery Will Get You Everywhere, Peralta/Santiago, G Peralta goes home for the holidays with Santiago. I JUST HAVE WEIRD FEELINGS ABOUT PERALTA AND HIS WEIRD SAD FAMILY LIFE. This one is cute but also hit all the buttons in that area especially. ALSO: Banter! With a capital b.
Hands, Peralta/Santiago, M Jake and Amy go undercover as a married couple at a hotel retreat. Bed sharing, fake dating, bickering, etc. This is long and gloriously in-character the whole time. I was NOT anticipating loving this so much because I thought it'd be pretty straightforward and plain, but wow, do they nail it 110%.
ELEMENTARY
And Only Time Will Tell, Gen, G HIGH SCHOOL AU. Everything I ever wanted but never knew for this fandom. Wow they fit right into these roles. It was great!
Hark The Herald Reptiles Sing, Gen, G CLYDE!!! I know other things happen, I know it was really good, but that's the real win here, for me. Nothing says Christmas spirit like Clyde in the spotlight.
The Hellhound of the Rockefellers, Gen?, T SLEEPY HOLLOW CROSSOVER! This is very intriguing and really well-suited. I loved these two shows paired after the adorableness of their writers' rooms on Twitter, so I was already game. But the main pairings/characters are all very similar and make for a really fluid and well matched crossover. ALSO SHERLOCK INTERACTING W/ ICHABOD. I mean. Whether you're a fan of the original fiction both shows are based on or not, it's just a delight.
THE HEAT
Brass in Pocket, Mullins/Ashburn, M Mullins and Ashburn spend the holiday with Mullins' family. GOD I ADORED THIS. I mean for the voices alone, it's worth reading, but I found it really good beyond that. I just love when fic from comedy fandoms is actually funny enough to make you laugh out loud.
LEGALLY BLONDE
Serious, Elle/Vivien, E I mean. This was another example of something I can't believe I never thought I'd want to read. But wow, it was fantastic and great and totally worth a read.
THE MINDY PROJECT
Ten Thousandth Try, Mindy/Danny, M Groundhog Day tropes are the best tropes of all. This is such a delight and right in the wheelhouse of the fandom. Moves along really quick, too, which is sometimes untrue of sitcom fic. I enjoy that because again it feels very true to the characters and context.
