This is late because I've been offline/freaking out about my job for the past three weeks, but: I signed up for Yuletide this year because I've always wanted to do it and maybe also a little because I felt guilty about not writing anything all year and I ended up getting the most fantastic story ever.

Age or Wizardry wrote What Eli and Oskar Do on Their (First) Summer Vacation (Let the Right One In) for me and I love this story so muchhhhhh. I asked for something post-canon about the two of them as children making a (sort of) happy ending for themselves and this is the perfect followup. It's sweet and subtle and understated and also creepy and very human, just like the canon. I keep going back to look at bits like:

"[When] he packed to run away with Eli he knew what to take: the underwear and the toothbrushes, yes; several changes of clothes; blah, blah, blah. And then there was the important stuff: his newspaper album, his knife, his Rubik's cube, some books to read, both of Eli's notes to him. He didn't realize for several weeks that he'd brought along a library book--no chance of returning it now. It seemed so long, so vague and improbable then, the idea that, months later, he would still be with Eli. He wanted it, but he didn't know if he would get it."

I don't know, you guys, I just really love this story. I want to draw hearts around it forever *_*

Also, I wrote Facet (Push, Cassie/Nick) for vinylroad! (Mirrored here on my LJ) ( Brief story meta.Collapse ) Seriously, though, it always sounds weird and comment-fishing to say that one didn't expect anyone to like their story, but it's been so long since I've written anything that I didn't, uh, actually expect anyone to like it, much less get the kinds of recs and comments it did, so thanks a lot, you guys. ♥
