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*)

It is a rather lovely picture, isn't it - taken from a Christmas card, in fact...

a little talk or a spill or a prank....
And if you don't have time to write it I may reclaim this prompt/rough idea.
What a clever idea you had to try this. Thanks! <3

Date: 2011-12-21 10:34 pm (UTC)I've only just seen this so don't worry if you're written out, but if you do feel like writing more could I have the lads walking in Hyde park on a frosty winters morning?
