First off, I have a Yuletide fic! And it's amazing and beautiful and something I didn't know was possible, so all of you should go and read Operation Reunification, a Das Leben Der Anderen | The Lives of Others fic by a wonderful anonymous author

Congratulations! Somehow this is reminding me of nothing more than The Iron King:

'Madam, Madam,' she cried, 'he has talked.'
'Really?' the Queen replied. 'And what did he say?'
'He banged the table, Madam, and said: "Want!"'
A look of pride crossed Isabella's beautiful face.
...
'Well, Messire my son, so you have said: "Want," said Isabella, leaning down to stroke his cheek. 'I'm pleased that it should have been the first word you uttered: it's the speech of a king.'

LOL! That is an excellent quote. He does do quite a good Little Emperor impression sometimes.

when I suddenly became aware of a little voice beside me saying insistently, "Mur! Mur! Mur!"

Oh, that is just PERFECT. :D :D :D

It has made our Christmas here, that's for sure. He did a pretty enthusiastic 'ca! ca!' at the neighbour's cats today as well. I might start to believe this is real soon.

Sounds like a wonderful Christmas. :) So exciting about Cub's first word!

And I'm excited to go and read a Lives of Others fic when I get a chance.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the fic, it's very true to the film and characters. And it has been an excellent Christmas here. I hope you've had a good time too!
