Discovered on a Midnight Clear - Challenge End

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Well, this is the day that makes me sad - the end of the brightness in our December/New Year days. It's time to put Discovered on a Midnight Clear away again.

As usual I've linked everyone's posts to their squares on the calendar below (and the original one, actually!), so if there was a day that you missed you can hover on the square and it will show you whose day it was, but you can now also click on it to be taken directly to the posts for that day. And the banner and its link to the challenge will be up on the User Info page with all our other archives in the next few days.

Thank you so much to everyone for joining in - whether you chose a day, posted once, twice or thrice or more, whether you read or commented, or just generally glowed with our lads at Christmas. Happy 2019 everyone - here's to a lovely Pros-y year for all of us, and may the lads' midnights always be clear! Well, unless they happen to get lost together in the fog somewhere, and end up trapped in some small space, very close to each other and desperately trying to keep warm just to survive the night, except that then their warm bodies together made them realise that... well. You know the drill. *g*
