Festive Fiction
I managed to pull together a ficlet for The Gods' Delight challenge over at chalion_ibra (the Lois McMaster Bujold community run by katyhasclogs and katyscarlett76), so if you're a Chalion fan, you might find it a fun read:
Title: Over a Barrel
Author: mrstater
Rating & Warnings: G, none
Characters/ Pairing: Caz, Palli (mentions of Caz/Betriz)
Prompt: The Mother, barrel
Format & Word Count: ficlet, 735 words
Summary: Palli helps Caz cope with a life-changing experience.
It was fun to finally get something written (I set myself the added challenge of writing something in one sitting), and I hope to accomplish at least as much for the Winter Hallows Advent that just opened at metamorfic_moon. (It's our 5th Advent, can you believe we've been going that long?)
==========
Speaking of fic, I've been meaning to do this for several years now, but here's a list of holiday fics I've written for various fandoms, in case you're looking for something Christmassy to read. I encourage all you fic writers out there to do the same and give us a real festive fic fest!
