Discovered in the Christmas Tree - 21st December - A Day of December-ish Pros fic...

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It's not actually the solstice today - the sun's at its lowest point tomorrow this year - but we're definitely at the point of the longest nights and the shortest days. Today is also dark here so far, because the sun is covered by murky grey clouds...

Worst of all - I have no long Pros story to go with the longest nights this year, waaaah! There seems to have been something about 2011 where everything I've written has been short-short-short - and also written at the last minute. So I've decided, today, to go with the flow...

I will write a wee Pros ficlet today for anyone who'd like one, and post them as we go through the 21st December, like wee Pros-y snowflakes falling... (aaaaah - or little skinny raindrops, because today is really far more traditional Pros-y weather!) So if you'd like a Christmas-y Pros-y story (or a non-Christmas-y one, come to that, or a solstice-y one, or just a wintery one) then comment below with a request and a wee prompt - what would you like to see your lads doing? Surviving the longest night? Cursing the shortest day - or embracing it? Christmas breakfast? Opening presents? Christmas baubles or London shopping or the saddest tree left in the supermarket? There will be fic for all comers - all you have to do, today, is ask... *g*

(A little more inspiration, should anyone need it... *g*)

This wee ficlet is for msmoat, who asked for snow at night (Solstice or Christmas Eve or Christmas--take your pick!), in a car park, with new discovery hand holding (though I'm not sure this is really what she had in mind...

Discovered in the Christmas Tree - 21st December - Was a Fairytale They Say by Slantedlight

For milomaus, who wanted Snowman please! Either one of the lads as one, like standing outside for as long as it takes, or building one, or destroying...

Oh, and I've cheated a little, because this is also a bit of an in-between fic to Two on a Treasure Island, and the fic that I should have written for today... Funny to have written two pages of it suddenly after all!

merentha13 said How about the lads on a surveillance Christmas eve sharing stories of their favorite, or not so favorite, Christmas past. Cowley seems to have snuck in too, but... *g*

Discovered in the Christmas Tree - 21st December - The Longest Shortest Day by Slantedlight

maddalia asked for one where the shortest day seems long to the lads, and the longest night seems short? Partner worry optional, but encouraged.

I could do with a few more minutes to the night myself right now, but here I am, spamming you again... *g*
