Achievement Unlocked!
I did it! I didn't default on Yuletide, after defaulting on just about every other creative endeavor I started in 2016 (sorry, Renaissance calligraphy class). I even did some of those writer-ly things I typically only include on my aspirational Pinterest boards, like reading the thing aloud to catch mistakes. I hope my Yuletide recipient likes the story, but either way, it feels good to finally be on the AO3/fandom map.
