No idea if our tastes are all that similar, but a few highlights from this year's Yuletide:
als Selbstzweck (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/17/alsselbstzweck.html), a beautiful Swordspoint fic, all sharp edges wrapped in pretty prose. If you haven't read the original book, as noted above, you really should.
The First Moving Picture Show (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/16/thefirst.html) is a wonderfully plotty sequel to a very slashy book.
Hair Today (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/18/hairtoday.html) is, despite its rather wince-inducing title, possibly the best Ender's Game vignette I've ever read and captures the rhythm of the book very well.
Heretical (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/19/heretical.html) is a fluffy little Saved piece that balances snark with respect for Mary's faith as well as or perhaps better than the movie.
