Discovered in the Bleak Midwinter - 1st December

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

Hello! Welcome to the first post for this year's Pros December/winter/solstice/Christmas/let-there-be-light challenge festival! And, of course, since it is me posting, it will be a story. *g* I have even, sort of, okay-rather-by-accident followed the prompt for my day: In the bleak midwinter. I am really happy that I was able to complete the story on time, especially given how little writing I've done this year. However, I didn't quite complete the story in time for it to be properly edited and Brit-checked. (Gah!) So, please temporarily excuse the odd typo, Americanism, completely idiotic sentence. I will have it checked properly within a day or two, and will edit the post. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy the (draft) version of: ETA: EOS has kindly Brit-checked and edited the draft, so you are all now good to go! Yay. Um. Except for the bits I changed in the draft as I posted this, that EOS didn't actually have in her version. Um. Hmmm....
