Shard prompted "List off any gifts you received over the holidays, and if you'd like and/or want to fill space, tell us which one(s) you like most and why."

Okay, first one is this lovely Yuletide fic, which I'm pretty sure is the longest I've ever gotten, phwoah:

Summary:

Where a pet shop in Chinatown explores the true meaning of Christmas, and what was obvious all along is finally realized. At least, in part.

Featuring, the cast of:

A Very Oblivious Detective (Leon Orcot)
A Very Put Upon Shop Owner (Count D)
All I Want For Christmas Is to Make People Happy (Chris Orcot)
A Merry Band of Misfits (T-chan and Pon-chan)
And Background Gossips (who ship it)

I haven't even gotten a chance to comment yet, it's so long -- but if you're in the fandom, go give it some kudos.

There are some family visits coming up in January, and more things designated Christmas Presents will be handed around then. Like I said in an earlier post, we're not real sentiment about specific dates.

So far: all the RL gifts are practical and useful, but not much to blog about. Literally towels, hangers, a chest of drawers, an afghan, a vacuum cleaner. A couple of large checks, some of which is getting invested in fandom merch (there are a few webcomic collections I've had my eye on), most of which will go toward rent, groceries, and my IRA.

Adulthood, everyone!
