So, what have I been doing the last few days instead of working on my Yuletide fic? Since I'm at that point with Yuletide where I'm thinking Oh god, why did I say I could write this?!?, I've been goofing off and writing tiny little bits of random fic instead.

The first two are from comment_fic, on the theme of 56 words.

( Prompt: Firefly, River, snow )
