Happy New Year, friends! It's all very symbolic, I know, but I'm going ahead and embracing the relief of leaving 2020 behind. It was a terrible year for me on every level, and I really have no positive spin to put on it. Good riddance.

On a brighter note, Yuletide reveals! I had really wanted this to be the year of treating, but alas, pandemic malaise wouldn't allow for it. Still, I enjoyed writing my assignment:

entre'acts
Wayward Children Series - Seanan McGuire
Alexis Chopper/Jack Wolcott, T, 6.4K
When home is a horror movie world, happily ever after isn’t really part of the package; happily in-between, within the pauses in the tale, are where life is lived and where peace can be found.

My recipient, [archiveofourown.org profile] Cakemage, wanted Jack and Alexis to have a chance to be happy, and requested (situationally-appropriate) fluff. It was a good challenge, and ultimately I decided to craft a series of missing scenes set in between and after the events of Down Among the Sticks and Bones and Come Tumbling Down, with a tiny bit of catharsis around Jack and Jill at the end, as well.

Also, here is a tiny batch of initial recs in Carmilla, The Locked Tomb, Monstrous Regiment, and Humans Are Space Orcs (meme). )

More later, I hope, but now I'm going to get to work on my [community profile] chocolateboxcomm sign-up. If you're meant to spend New Year's Day on the sort of pursuits you want to continue throughout the year, I feel good about my choices.

I hope 2021 is good to you all. (Or else!)

[community profile] femslashex reveals are up! I had a lovely time creating this year, as always.

A curvier, blushing girl is tilting her head back, blushing, eyes closed, as a dark-haired girl with her hand at the other’s nape leans in over her shoulder with an intent, passionate expression. text reads 'you and I are one'

ardor (Carmilla, Carmilla/Laura, T)
"... with gloating eyes she drew me to her, and her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs ..."

Floriography (This Is How You Lose The Time War, Red/Blue, G)
Another form of esoteric, archaic epistolary communication ...
for [archiveofourown.org profile] Shadaras

stay put (Wayfarers Series, Rosemary/Sissix, T)
One advantage of mammalian girlfriends: they’re so WARM.
for [archiveofourown.org profile] Stonestrewn

I also received an absolutely delightful Original Fiction story from [archiveofourown.org profile] TheseusInTheMaze, about a witch in trouble who transforms into a cat to escape, only to land in the very inviting lap of a visiting queen ... and quite understandably, struggles to find the will to change back: Shapes, and Their Influence.

I'm deep in Yuletiding now, naturally. And also, this looks like it could be a lot of fun ... I think I might put up a "tree." (You should too! I'm hoping to do some treating.)

Life is ... really, really difficult right now, in a quiet, grinding way. I am going to indulge in as much fannish holiday nonsense as I can possibly manage, because egad, do I need an escape.
