Yuletide dreams
This afternoon I've actually ticked some things off my longterm to-do list which was a good feeling!
And now I'm eating Gin&Tonic Creams (courtesy of my sister & her husband who made them!) and reading Yuletide which is also a very good feeling.
My presents this year were mostly chocolate, gin or book related which means I am a very very happy person even before the fact that I got THREE Yuletide stories which was a wonderful surprise. Though all three do involve death so... maybe I should try for happier prompts next year?
I got two different takes on Teddy Bhaer & Dan Kean's relationship in the Little Women book:
The mountains are calling and I must go Written in a series of letters from Teddy to Dan.
Words of Candor Which talks about them from the point of view of a woman writing to her friend.
And then, as if that wasn't enough, my super super rare "I'll never get this in a million years" prompt also got written ♥
The fandom is 紅樓夢 - 曹雪芹 | Dream of the Red Chamber - Cao Xueqin and my prompt was about the troupe of actresses owned by the main family in the novels and particularly about
Ouguan & Yaoguan who play the romantic leads in several of their plays and OH the story is just utterly lovely and you could absolutely read it knowing nothing about the novels so please do and leave lovely comments because it really is a teeny tiny fandom outside China.
A Walk in the Garden, An Interrupted Dream
My recipient hasn't commented yet which is a little unnerving but thankfully other people seem to like my offering so that's taken some of the sting away!
