First, huge thanks to byslantedlight and empty_mirrors for all the fun - and empty_mirrors gets another round of applause for doing the beta for 'So here it is'.

So, um, here it is:

A shortish slash story: "So here it is, Merry Christmas"

A little, more thoughtful thing: "No Candle"

Hope you enjoy :)

These complemented each other perfectly. I really enjoyed the first one, and now I've got the wretched song about lonely goatherds going round in my head too (one point off for that ). Very believable, and some fun images, especially when it gets to ribbons & tinsel...

But, like Rebel, I think I would give "No Candle" the edge. You created a poignant mood here, and it worked beautifully. That moment when the little boy pretends to shoot the little girl - very vivid, very real, & Doyle's reaction felt spot on. I'm glad Bodie was there at the end.

Thanks for both of these :)

Thanks :)

I nearly didn't post 'No Candle'. I mean, quite apart from the fact it's not slashy *g*, it seemed a bit melancholy for Christmas, and (ahem) never got as far as a beta as I was still fiddling with it last night.

So I'm *hugely* glad you and Rebel liked it.

Sorry about the goatherds. Well, a bit ;)
