With a calm determination (16176 words) by id_ten_it
Chapters: 2/2
Fandom: Historical Farm (UK TV)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ruth Goodman/Mark Goodman, Peter Ginn & Ruth Goodman & Alex Langlands, Peter Ginn/Alex Langlands
Characters: Ruth Goodman, Goodman Family, Alex Langlands, Peter Ginn, Henry the Sheepdog
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - World War II, gratuitous research, Domestic Fluff, Friends to Lovers, Period Typical Attitudes, Henry the Dog (Wartime Farm) - Freeform, conscientious objector
Summary:
Follows our favourite farmers through a whole war of farming in Wartime Britain, from the sublime to the ridiculous and all the emotions in between.
If you like Ruth fighting societal injustice, Peter quietly stepping in to save the day, and Alex throwing himself into potentially ill-advised projects with boundless enthusiasm, this is probably a story you'll enjoy. Similarly if you like long rambling passages about farming techniques, how to manage food and fuel rations, and the latest tips to 'make do and mend', have I got a story you'll enjoy!

Rating: General Audiences

Summary:
This place may not be the greenwood proper-but perhaps the greenwood could take many shapes.
What is the New Year's Resolutions 2021 collection?
The New Year's Resolutions challenge/activity is part of Yuletide. Each year after a round of Yuletide ends, a new NYR collection is set up. This collection is for new works based on past Yuletide prompts.
Anyone can look at past Yuletide prompts and submit a work - you don't need to have participated in Yuletide before. Gifts must respect their recipients' Do-Not-Wants. However, if you're writing a NYR story because you are required to before you can sign up to Yuletide again, there are additional rules.
NB: When posting a work to the New Year's Resolutions 2021 collection, the collection name may not come up in the drop-down menu, even though 'nyr2021' will work when entered into the field. You can ensure the collection is incorporated automatically by going to the collection and clicking 'Post to Collection' at top right.

Prompts
2020's prompts are available on AO3, in a downloadable text file, and in an app. Prompts from pinch hitters who weren't signed up can be found here on the admin DW community, and are also included in the app. For older prompts, try looking at the dashboards of previous NYR collections, such as New Year's Resolutions 2020.
Someday My Fic Will Come
This is an additional mini-challenge, begun by swan_tower. If you have requested the same thing in at least 3 Yuletides, and you haven't been given it yet, record your prompt at the DW post or LJ post - or look for a long-lingering prompt that you can fulfil. (Yes, these are the 2020 posts - they're still valid.)
