Oh my god, y'all, my exchange karma has come back to me in spades for Chocolate Box! This is the first time I participated, and I did not manage to write anything but my assignment, which is weird, because I pretty much always treat. It's just not a good time of year for me, I guess.
BUT THE STORIES I GOT. OH MY GOD. THE STORIES.
I was gifted four stories, and I am thrilled.
