And that's it for 2014!
My heartfelt thanks to everyone who commented and took part in the calendar this year; once again we've had a brilliant month filled with lots of wonderful treats. The Advent Calendar would not be possible without you all, and we are lucky to have so many creative and talented people in our little fandom.
Merry Christmas to you all!

“Admiral Jack Aubrey paced the great cabin, waiting for Doctor Stephen Maturin to open his sleeping cabin door announcing all was well. Jack was certain that he had paced twice the distance from Portsmouth to Ashgrove Cottage, and still no news. Jack stared at the door, willing that Stephen open it; when he did not; he turned and continued his pacing, twenty-five feet, bulkhead to bulkhead.”

“Two years and more at sea, sailed to the far side of the world; shipwrecked on an island, attacked by violent islanders, rescued and finally… finally headed home in a delightfully sweet sailor, The Nutmeg of Consolation. An age in which he had not seen his wife, his daughters, his home, and his gardens. Two very long years during which he discovered he was a father to a son he did not even know was coming; and by the time he made Portsmouth that son would be breeched and walking.”
