I have a favorite YULETIDE story.

I can say this in confidence even though I've only read about a third of the stories I have open in tabs. But this one is my favorite and will remain my favorite because it is about Milhouse and it GETS Milhouse, a character who I love with every bone in my body, the same way I love Napoleon Dynamite and Bill Haverchuck and Rodney McKay and every other sweet-hearted, damaged, beat-of-his-own drum nerd-boy in the world.

Go, read:

The Fearless Moral Inventory of Milhouse Van Houten
The Simpsons
Milhouse grows up, struggles, makes it work. Lisa lives in a women's vegan collective. Bart had a meth problem. Please, please go read this fic.
