it's the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention

[kaydeefalls]

Somehow we have very nearly survived 2022. It is taking all of my mental and emotional energy to drag myself over that particular finish line right now, but we're gonna be okay.

I sat down to write a quick fun historical version of a coffee shop fic and accidentally got super maudlin, but hey, it's been that kind of year. Gonna dig up ye olde yearly writing roundup at some point as well, just because doing my own personal fannish recap soothes me.

(I also successfully accomplished Yuletide again after sitting out a couple of years, yay! Still a few more days 'til that reveal, though.)
