life is like...

Chocolate Box 2020 is open! (Well, it's been open since the 14th, Valentine's Day.)

I received two gifts: a cute fantasy-humor ficlet for the Tempur-Pedic "Agent of Sleep" Spec Commercial, Sleeping Beauties, and Nyx and Two sparring and going from antagonists to friends to maybe-lovers over the course of the second season of Dark Matter, a girl you knew (in a day or two).

I also wrote two things! I feel that both of them are totally guessable for different reasons.

Some other things in the collection I particularly enjoyed:

Needlework (Game of Thrones), an Arya and Tywin ficlet set at Harrenhal, because it's Arya still on her (metaphorical as well as literal) journey, not who she was any more, but not yet who she will be.

centerfold (Gideon the Ninth), comic-book artwork of Harrow finding Gideon's titty mags, and a parody titty-mag-style drawing of them.

You Are My Lioness (Witcher), Calanthe and Eist's wedding night.

messages (Dragon Age) Leliana/Morrigan artwork.

All the Vorkosigan stories, particularly lean on which is Simon and Aral bonding-slash-commiserating over their shared concern for Miles.

While I'm reccing, I should also mention another country by
venndaai which was written for Past Imperfect 2019, a Dragon Age story in which Iron Bull gets accidentally sent backwards through time and meets a (much) younger Dorian. I'm not particularly a Bull/Dorian shipper but I love time travel, and the tropes in this one are delightful, mostly because Dorian's past is so very different from his Inquisition-period future.
