YULETIDE!!!

[osprey_archer]

You guys you guys, it is YULETIDE and I got TWO STORIES, both of which are AMAZINGLY AMAZING. Best Yuletide ever!

First, The Surly Bonds of Earth, a Code Name Verity/Ballet Shoes crossover from a TOTALLY MYSTERIOUS PERSON who is a TOTAL MYSTERY to me. Hearts times a thousand! Maddie meets Petrova Fossil when they're both ATA pilots. I love the delicacy of their beginning friendship here.

And also, I got the Ashley/Claudia BSC fic I have yearned for since I was twelve! And it's set in NEW YORK CITY! Escapades Out on the D Train. I love everything about this fic, but especially Ashley: "text-based communication is, after all, the cause of our generation’s emotional disconnect with our peers." Oh Ashley ILU, please never change.

(There's another Ashley/Claudia story, which is technically for someone else, but it's like a story for me: With Gentle Curves and Tender Feelings, which is made of joy and delicious Claudia voice: Temptation, whose name was Ashley Wyeth. And excellent Ashley, as always!)

In short: YULETIDE JOY.

Also, my parents gave me a copy of Blood Feud, and Taylor Swift's Red (someday I will title a fic after one of her songs. This WILL happen!), and enough chocolate to keep me going for, theoretically, the next three months, although given the rate at which I eat chocolate, probably the next two weeks.

And my brother gave me chocolate covered McVities digestive biscuits! And we are having trifle for dessert! Best Christmas ever!

Yay Blood Feud! And now there is MOAR FIC in the fandom! I'm kind of surprised by the amount of BF fic this YT.

I saw that! It was a pretty awesome turn out for a tiny, tiny fandom.

I just wish more people would read the book and make the fandom groooooow.

What an awesome Christmas you've had! :D I've been meaning to ask you: what kind of music do you like? As in genres/types of music? Favorite singers? :)

[osprey-archer.livejournal.com]

Oh, I listen to f lots of different things. Lately I've been listening to Mumford and Sons, and a smattering of folk music. I tend to like music best that's fairly fast.

I'll keep that in mind! :)

I AM SURE SAID MYSTERY PERSON HAS NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. BUT IF THAT MYSTERY PERSON DID, THE ANON WOULD BE THRILLED THAT THE FIC WAS WELL-ENJOYED.

Also TRIFLE! YUM.

Hooray for mysterious persons who are mysterious!

And TRIFLE. We have leftover trifle. It will be DELICIOUS.
