I had a great Yuletide, you guys - the story written for me was a wonderful Aubrey/Maturin fic. I started the series on audio at the beginning of 2014 and am just past halfway through; it's made my commutes a delight. This story by LadyOscar captures what I love about their relationship - if you're a fan, you should read it, and if you're not into them already, this shows a lot of what's wonderful about them.
