( But, down deep, she believed that when he came, she would know him -- her heart would know him -- and that he would carry her off from the dark, crumbling pile of Brancaster (or Grosvenor Square, if one wanted to be precise) to a life of happiness and a whole new kind of enchantment. )

Let me start with a further huge thank you to my very own Yuletide author for the wonderful Riptide fic You Don't Count the Cost. That author has been revealed as my very dear quoshara.

( Léon's small room in the hôtel on the Rue St.-Honore was neither large nor luxurious, but he saw no fault in it. He had it to compare with a pallet by the hearth in the noisome scullery of the tavern of the Crossbow, and before that with the tiny room under the thatch that he had shared with Jean, in the long-ago farmhouse in Bassincourt. )

I did Yuletide for the first time ever, and had a lovely time! I'll definitely be signing up in the future.

First of all, the beautiful Riptide fic I received, Home Is Where The Christmas Is, is by hardboiledbaby. Squee! Thank you, dearest!! As I have said before, I love it greatly. I'm not sure how many times I've read it so far, but it's many. And it's going ( Read more... )
