drive-by yuletide reveal
Patrilineage
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell / gen / 5427 words
Contains exegesis, the trouble with translating Godfather quotes, seven lines of intentionally bad porn movie dialogue and women playing Major League Baseball. It turns out that this is both the second time this year I've written a story that required reading up on the New Testament and my second Yuletide story in a row with a Star Wars homage. And, if I'd focused on a different part of this story's canon, I could have had the dubious honor of writing two Yuletide stories that required rape/non-con warnings. So ... yeah. Thanks a million to paintedmaypole for the beta!
You guys, I'm getting so old. I didn't even get drunk and write the majority of my Yuletide story on a cocktail napkin while flying from Boston to San Francisco like, I don't know, every year since 2004. MATURITY!
