You guys, Merry Christmas. I hope whatever you're doing today, you're having a blast doing it, and that you're enjoying the statutory holiday.

I, for one, am OVERFLOWING with seasonal whimsy, and Santa brought me some awfully nice things, and also it is CHRISTMAS, HOW RAD IS THAT. LAST NIGHT RUDOLPH WAS TOTALLY ON THE ROOF OF MY PARENTS' CONDO SO THAT SANTA COULD FILL MY STOCKING, AND NOTHING WILL CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

Anyway, [livejournal.com profile] yuletide also happens today, and even though I'm a monster who defaulted, I got an AMAZING story written for me.

Give Us Those Nice Bright Colours, Warehouse 13, Myka/H.G. Wells
Breaking the law itches like cheap hotel sheets. In Sioux Falls, Myka gives herself a twenty-four hour period to commit to the decision.

"There have to be rules," she says to herself. She speaks out loud; Pete's voice is a stinging absence in the otherwise silent room. She has stolen an Artifact from the Warehouse; now she must keep herself apart from the likes of MacPherson and – yes, let's say her name, now – Helena. If she is very clear about her purpose, she will be able to do this right.

She picks up the hotel pen and writes a list of directives on the stationery: I will remain a good person, she writes; I will trust myself to make the right decisions. It doesn't convince her. Surely they've all written these lists; the people who stole from the Warehouse, the people in Warehouse prisons, the people who have been bronzed. Helena.

Of all the Artifacts to silently judge you from across the room, a View-Master is certainly one of the more ridiculous.


This is fabulously-written Myka/H.G., set after the end of season 2, and it's not the take [livejournal.com profile] thrace_ and I have (which is now canon in my heart) but it's FANTASTIC, and Myka is pitch-perfect. All of the kissing - and there's totally kissing - is bittersweet, as it should be, and basically this is everything I could have hoped for in a gift story plus a little bit extra. I'm so grateful to my mystery writer for making this for me. And also that there is good Warehouse 13 fic being written - honestly, for those of you not fully immersed in the hokey, awkwardly written sci-fi-geekery-with-a-heart-of-gold that is this show, YOU ARE MISSING OUT.

People are talking about [livejournal.com profile] yuletide and Yuletide Madness and reposting their letters for treats, and I feel like I should do the same, except that I 100% defaulted on Yuletide this year for the first time ever. Before the deadline, so I am at least able to participate next year if I find the time, but I still feel a little silly having a story written for me, when my recipient will have to wait for a pinch-hit. Alas, RL > fanfiction, etc. In other words, no Yuletide Madness presents for me. However, if you want to write me stories just for, IDK, existing, I think it has become pretty clear what my likes and dislikes are. WRITE AWAY, BENEVOLENT INTERNET STRANGERS.


All of that being said, since break started on Sunday I've been having the BEST TIME wasting my life on WoW (this is a Christmas tradition - I reactivate my account for Winter Veil, then get too busy and drop playing it after January) and writing my [livejournal.com profile] girlsgunsfic story, which is such great fun and also SUPER LONG. However, as [livejournal.com profile] girlsgunsfic is my ridiculous ficathon, PROBABLY I can't default on it.

Anyway, flist: it is Christmas Eve Eve. I assume many of you are off doing things with your friends and loved ones, and I will be doing a bit of that, myself. But for those of you who are on the internet right now, feel free to say hi in the comments. I think it's a good night for a gif party.
