Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you're all having a good day today, whether or not you're celebrating. I had a lie-in till 5.30am today; my parents reminded me that when I was a child I was the worst of all my siblings for getting up at ridiculous hours on Christmas morning and getting into mischief, so I guess it's cosmic justice now :-D.
And it's Yuletide! After going on the last-minute pinch hit list, I was a bit concerned, but I needn't have worried: I received not one but two fics, both of them absolute jewels of stories. I am so grateful to the pinch-hitters who picked up my prompts and came up with such wonderful stories at such short notice - thank you so much!
