First of all, of course, a very happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates!
Secondly - the
Yuletide collection is open!! Lucky, lucky me received not one but TWO gift stories, both for Babylon 5, both centered on Timov but taking place at entirely different moments in canon. In both of them, Timov is her critical, acerbic, stubborn, fiercely honorable self, so this made me very happy!

Babylon 5Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Relationships: Londo Mollari/Timov, Londo Mollari/Mariel, Londo Mollari/Daggair
Characters: Timov, Londo Mollari, Mariel (Babylon 5), Daggair
Summary: Londo decided that Timov was going to be the wife he remains married to... but what about her decision?
A lovely missing scene fic that delves into Timov's thoughts on being the wife Londo "kept". Apparently Londo expected her to be grateful for it, and in a strange and slightly embarrassing way, she was, but Timov wouldn't be Timov if she didn't consider all the alternatives before making her own choice.
The Price of a Favor (1922 words) by Anonymous
Fandom:
Babylon 5Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Characters: Timov
Summary: All Timov wants to do is live quietly. With Cartagia on the throne, that may not be an option.
This one is set in early season four, when a childhood friend comes to ask Timov to help keep her granddaughters safe from Cartagia's reign of terror. In the end, Timov has to make a choice that she was never allowed to make for herself.
And of course I wouldn't be me if I wasn't fretting about my own stories too. My main assignment is doing pretty well: several people bookmarked it, so yay! I'm a bit disappointed in my longest treat, which I spent the most time on aside from my main assignment and am actually kind of proud of: recip liked it, but it's barely got any hits even if it's in a not-tiny-for-Yuletide-standards fandom. My two other, fluffier treats do seem to be to people's tastes, however. :) Anyway, I have the impression the feedback rate seems to be on the low side in general so far, not just for my stories but for everything, so I expect the real commenting & kudos'ing train has yet to take off?
I haven't had the time to explore the rest of the collection yet, but I'll be diving in later today! *rubs hands*
