spokeGues what happened yesterday when I went to check the mail! I got a Postcard! It has the most adorable Xiu on it, who sitting here watching me type. It will be coming safely into my room or hidden in a book when I sleep though, I am afraid the Dusky-cat might gnaw on it if I leave it out. Apparently it smells fascinating, she keeps sniffing.
So.
Yuletide! It is made of awesomes. I am made of far too much caffeine and too little sleep, so I have not begun to poke around properly, but here is what I've read so far! Also, html it is complicated and I'm not gonna.
My 2 gifts, both Princess Tutu and I love them forever:

A beautiful story in which Fakir and Ahiru are (relatively) okay with who they are and what they're doing and Autor still wishes he were Drosselmeyer. Because he does and you know he does. Dork. I did not even remember how much I like the horrible little dork until I was reading this. XD

This is my favorite fairy tale, and I am not even sure how to be coherent because. My favorite one! And it is so insane and eeeee. What other story contains the sentence 'Losing daughters like pens.' I have this insane desire to give my pens silly princess names now. XD
I am so freaking sleepy, you just don't know. But it really is that awesome. It feels like a happily-ever-after that's real, that acknowledges that stories don't end, we just make a place to stop reading.
Also! Screw authorial intent! Sometimes authors don't know what they intend anyway. <3
Other people's stories!

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, people! The only one in the archive, this year. Go forth and smother it in lovings and adoration! It's a beautiful fic, that reads almost like another episode, and like the best of the fic that used to get written. Ryou trying to get himself killed in the pursuit of noble self-sacrifice! Touma not having it! Team to the rescue! \o/
White Blazeses disapprove of this foolishness.

This Alien Shore fic, people. Which, I do not even know how to start reccing this canon, but. If you would like to read a story where people who aren't neurotypical are treated like, you know, people, and have their own functioning society, and and. It's just too complicated, but this is a gorgeous fic it really is. It feels like coming home, like being safe. <3
