Omgwth love this. *____________*
I was looking for a Christmas-LinkAllen fic and I found this. *AAA* Love it, love it, love it! They're so adorable XD and Link's thoughts on what Allen was saying almost killed me. X°D
I was planning on asking your permission to translate "In Disarray" but this goes first. I'd really like to translate this, espicially because from 25th to 29th is LinkAllen Week. *w* I would like to elaborate a better comment but the only thing I can say right now is "loveitloveitloveit". "XD Many many compliments! *-* ♥

I'm glad you found what you were looking for, haha! I wrote it a few days ago, but couldn't post until now because of the challenge it's for. I think I have a weakness for Christmas-themed stories--I'm quite fond of them.

Ohh my, another translation! Of course you have my permission. *___* Once again I feel so lucky. Thank you. &hearts

There's a week for that? Excellent. I'm writing Link-and-Allen fics for the Dec. 25th and 29th prompts at 31_days, myself. I'll keep my eye out for other works! :D

So glad you like it. Thanks for commenting!

I mentioned briefly in our convo how I enjoyed this ♥ Lemme repeat here: I LOVE THIS ♥♥♥

You worked with the prompt really well! The way Allen is glad to be out and welcoming the season for what it is, regardless of how it is less than picture perfect :) And Link, oh, so straightforward with his observations of how uncelebratory their surroundings really are.

I love the humour and the tinge of melancholy built into the description of how Allen stopped paying off Cross's debt. It's something that seems to still hang over Allen and I love how that is weaved neatly into the story.

And just, the entire atmosphere! Timcanpy sleeping in one of the shopping bags, the darkness and gloom surrounding them, Allen being all fidgety and saying thanks in the only way he knew how to, and the silence as they approach the headquarters - it all just works really well, the atmosphere oh I adored adored adored it ♥

This is such a lovely read, thank you for it *g*

Oh, thank you for sharing your thoughts here, too!

Allen seems to look on the bright side, and strikes me as pretty happy (aside from when something terrible has just happened) considering how dark the series is. I wonder how he developed from being a cynical kid into the kind of person he is now. Clearly Mana was involved, but still...

As I mentioned, I do like Christmas stories. Little moments between characters, too. Also, taking the prompt literally would have been no fun.

Thanks. :)

(late!)

Ahh, I like this one a lot *v*! Very sweet and I love the exchanges between them. Also the bit about using the Ark for shopping *laugh*. The mood is lovely here; exactly how a perfect Christmas evening should feel!

(Cheers for the masterlist as well. Sob, I already have my very favorites of yours saved to folder but this will make it easier to reread :D)

Hope the new year is off to a good start for you!

(No worries!)

Aww, I'm glad you like it and found the mood worked. Christmas and other holiday-themed fics are fun.

(\o/ I finally got around to making a masterlist. Somehow those stories managed to pile up, and I want them to be easy to find. By the way, the Noah Clan fics are in chronological order by when they occur in the characters' lives.)

Amazingly enough, it is. Happy New Year to you, too! &hearts

Oh man... this one tasted to my mind like one of Link's pastries probably to Allen's tongue...
So damn sweet and lovely and... d'aaaw.

[symbolism_egg]

Aww, I'm happy to hear that. I love reading and writing about little moments between these two.
