Gifts for me! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's been a hard Christmas this year. We spent the holiday with femmequixotic's family. Her mom is well right now, though very ill with a couple of potentially fatal conditions simultaneously. We were tired and loved seeing everyone, but the trip to SC was not easy. I will say, everyone was very hospitable to us about the lesbian married thing. Woot? Yes, woot!

The love of friends and fellow fans means so much in times like these.

I received a wonderful fic in hd_erised and I rec it WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

A charming enemies to friends to lovers H/D, charted in dances. Harry is awkward and finding himself, Draco is assured and worth pursuing. A delicious read!

This is a lovely fic and contains so much of the dynamic between Alec and Richard, painted in small scenes and interactions. Oh, and despite the PG rating? Hot as BLAZES.
