no yuletide. only fic.
It feels SO WRONG to have a Christmas without Yuletide. I mean, obviously there is still very much a Yuletide, and I will pick my way through its offerings at some point, but this is the first year ever I did not participate, and it's WEIRD. Well, such is 2020.
I have an Old Guard big bang fic that I desperately need to finish by next week (...oh god...), but I did take a break from frantically working on that to write a TOG gift exchange fic instead, because everything is Old Guard for me right now and nothing hurts. Plus, I got to get back on my usual Oscar Wilde bullshit, because if a fandom can in any way canonically veer late Victorian era, I will somehow work gross indecency into it.
Happy holidays, y'all. We've almost made it through this shitshow of a year. <3

Nicky, Joe, and a very crowded ferry on what should have been an unremarkable evening in April 1895. This entry was originally posted on Dreamwidth. Comment wherever you'd like.
