Hey, flist! Christmas was... well, honestly, best I could have hoped for: getting ridiculously ill on my birthday, said illness peaking on Christmas Day, meaning I slept through the whole thing, and if at any point I was awake and aware enough to be sad about all the things that normally make me sad on Christmas, I have no recollection of it, because this illness apparently comes with short-term memory loss. \o? :D? :D? (Seriously, though, I hate Christmas. Being sick has sucked so much, but also I'm ridiculously grateful for the excuse to not have to concentrate on things or go anywhere or be particularly cheerful.)

Anyway, while I am ridiculously Grinchy about Christmas, I am NOT Grinchy about Yuletide. I was seriously lucky this year, too -- two stories! One from each of the two fandoms I wanted most! And they are FABULOUS.

( recs for the stories I got! and then some recs for stories other people got!Collapse )
