a treat

[ursula]

I slept for ten hours, with a break around four in the morning which I used to read my Yuletide treat, by a very kind person who dealt with my utter failure to generate a prompt (hypothetically, what sort of fanfic would I read, if my relationship to fandom was fundamentally about reading fic, rather than going to parties in undergrad and writing odd pairings, in rather the same spirit that other people borrow cigarettes? I pondered this question for a while and then decided my time would be more efficiently spent finishing my pinch hit) by reading both of the things I've posted on AO3. By natural process of extrapolation, this means my treat is a Cyteen/Regenesis story with the Loyalty tag on it (which definitely is the kind of thing I would read all of if I were reading fic regularly). The extreme thoughtfulness evinced by all characters involved is, I think, tribute to the author's character.

That's awesome. But it's also the thing that's consistently amazing to me about Yuletide --- everyone is bringing their A-game, and trying to come up with a good gift for someone else. Which is a pretty neat effect for bystanders.

That's wonderful.
