For some reason, I thought the archive would open tomorrow this year, so it was a lovely surprise to find it ready to rock already: Yuletide 2013! This year, I wrote two stories - my assignment and a treat - in two utterly different fandoms, yet as it turns out with a shared theme. I think they're both very recognizably me, but then I think that every year.:) If you're not my two beta readers for the two different stories and can guess which one is mine, I'll write you a drabble (well, more than a 100 words, most likely) on your subject of choice, if I'm familiar with the fandom and it's not one of my all time squicks, of course.:)

My present is this great Breaking Bad story:

( Is spoilery for the last season )

.

It's the Marie story I wished for, and I love it. As for all the other stories now available to read, it will take me a while, due to Christmas business (thank you mails to write, visiting family members to entertain), which I imagine will be the case for a lot of us. Still: YULETIDE!
