Dear Yuletide Author

Thank you for writing a story for me! Yuletide is one of my favorite things about the winter season, and I am super excited to be getting a gift from you in a shared fandom. I love surprises, so if there’s a story you’ve always wanted to tell for the canon and characters we’ve matched on, feel free to write that (while avoiding my sign-up DNWs). If you’re looking for inspiration, I’ve listed general kinks and some prompts, plot bunnies, or ideas for each of my requests below, and you’re welcome to borrow from them as you like. (The requests themselves are in alphabetical order, not order of preference.)

Kinks: Angst, banter, bickering-as-flirtation, bonding, camaraderie, casefic, comedy of manners, established relationships, found families, humor, hurt/comfort, language (be it grammar geekery, foreign language fluency, or how characters use it to enforce or transgress social status), loyalty, misunderstanding and reconciliation, pining, relationships crossing or transgressing social mores and social status, sarcasm, slice-of-life, wordplay, worldbuilding.

I am happy with any rating from G to explicit (and fully support smut between canon couples and between requested characters as mentioned in the prompts if you're so inclined).

Friday Flora: Arty Photo Edition

It's Friday. I am deeply, deeply thankful that it is Friday, and that I have taken a great deal of time off. ( Cut for griping. )

I'm just ready for the pendulum to swing back.

And so in the spirit of replacing irritating things with delightful things, here's a photo I took while sitting outside enjoying our unseasonably warm weather.



I just really like this shot: the colors, the lighting, the fig half bee-eaten on the branch.

In other news, I finally signed up for Yuletide( . )

So, uh, I'm now committed to writing a rather large letter. Dear Author, it's coming. Please be patient.
