Discovered in the Bleak Midwinter - 21st December

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It's the 21st December - Happy Solstice, everyone! Happy Winter Solstice especially, just because it's lads'-time, and the night has long closed in around us, up here. At least there's the lads to keep each other us warm... *g*

All of that said - I was really hoping to do better for you all today, and I just haven't at all. I had a story in my head last night, and this morning, and even at lunchtime, but by the time I finished work all but the bones of it had vanished again, and try as I might I've not been able to spot them through the murky mists... So - I do have a story for you, which I've not posted online before, although a few of you might have read it before. It's not even vaguely Christmas-y, and not even throwing in a strand or two of tinsel would make it so, but... it's lads!

There's a vague chance that I might be able to dig out something else before midnight strikes, but if not then I hope that this at least is something...
