CREDITS: First and foremost,
wendymr for being everything a beta should be - and more.
Second, Charles Dickens for writing the greatest of all Christmas stories (excepting the original one). It has been an inspiration to me since my childhood and revisiting it as I worked on this was an unexpected pleasure.
And finally, whoever made this icon. It's perfect for this story but I don't know whose work it is. Please, if you recognise it, shout out. I always credit my illustrators.
Chapter One Chapter TwoChapter Three DISCLAIMER: If I thought it would make any difference, I would beg RTD on bended knee to make this happen. All I can say in mitigation is that I'm making no money out of this, nor would I desire to.
