I come bearing a seasonal rec: annakovsky's gorgeous post-apocalyptic Christmas story The Weary World Rejoicing and its sequel Out of This Stony Rubbish (BtVS). Powerful writing, full of literary allusions. These fics left me feeling lighthearted in spite of their darkness. Just beautiful.

To everyone who celebrates I wish a very Happy Christmas!

My family already gathered for Christmas last week, so tonight B. and I will make some nice fried lamb and couscous, then it's back to work. Yesterday night I finished the sixth page. Late at night, bloody thing took all day again, but I think I'm finally hitting my stride. And tomorrow I'll have the whole house to myself. I love my housemates dearly but I'm quite looking forward to leaving all the doors open and playing my music as loud as it'll go. The gym will be closed, as well as all the shops, so without distractions the plan is to get a lot of work done.

*blink* getting two more pages done by tomorrow night... yes. that's what I want for Christmas!
