On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true/wonderful/awesome Yuletide authors gave to me...
Two awesome stories, one backstory for the Phouka in th War for the Oaks universe (true to Emma Bull's style - bright as a broken stained glass window, but it cuts) and a lovely, wonderful story about St Margaret of Antioch.

Dear Daisy Ninja Girl,
I dithered mightily about giving you this present. I dithered. But you said you appreciated that quality of Ms. Bull's works, in that they soar while they cut you. So. It's winter in Minnesota as I write this. It's beautiful. It also kills people.
(Heart-felt thanks to St. Aurafina, Lilacsigil, and Likeadeuce for assistance, hand-holding, and beta-reading.)
Honourable mention to a story written for my sister, Eddie Alvarez has a problem on his Christmas shopping trip, and the team step up for him.
