Trying to get back in the habit of posting something other than exchange letters here, and ... exchange round-up posts constitute a decent baby step, right? /o\ :D

SO. For Yuletide this year, I received the loveliest Nuala gift from none other than [archiveofourown.org profile] alamorn:

The Touch of a Vanish'd Hand (1976 words)
Fandom: Hellboy (Movies 2004-2008)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Nuada/Nuala (Hellboy)
Characters: Nuala (Hellboy), Nuada (Hellboy)
Additional Tags: Nuala-centric, Missing Scene
Summary: Nuala knew how it would end before it began.

Wonderful, wonderful Nuala POV, all the complicated difficult entanglement (plus bonus incestuous vibes) I could have hoped for in her relationship with Nuada, and the pitch-perfect bittersweet inevitability of it ending the only way it can. ♥ SO SO GOOD, and I'm so glad to have gotten it!

As for me, I was ASTOUNDINGLY lucky yet again, and matched [archiveofourown.org profile] melmillo on a fantastically inspiring request for A Yank at Oxford! And by "fantastically inspiring", I mean "I couldn't pick which prompt to write", so I couldn't help but write both a main gift and a treat for it, plus treats in Gunmen (1994), Jeremiah, and Streets of Fire (1984). )

I left my usual hasty flurry of comments before author reveals, on my "first pass" list of fics, but there's still plenty of things I haven't read yet! And there's no better way to spend the first couple weeks of a new year than going through the Yuletide collection properly. ♥

(Also, while I've obviously YET AGAIN flubbed my chance to actually ... update ... Imagine the Ocean at any point during the entire year /o\ I have both finished going through all my previous notes to get myself back up to speed, reworked some outlines in a desperately necessary fashion, drafted a bunch of the next chapter—!!!—AND had a brain-wave during editing that's going to make the conclusion of said chapter MUCH better. Which is why it's not finished, I now have to rewrite a fair chunk of it, but I'm freshly excited about it and that's such a good feeling, I can't even. ;-; \o/!)

SO YEAH. BRING IT ON, 2020. *rolls up sleeves*
