Merry Christmas or other holidays, and happy Yuletide

[auroracloud]

To everyone: merry Christmas, happy holidays, or just nice last Friday of December, whichever feels the best for you! This year has been a long, difficult one, but I hope we all can find some hope and comfort, whether in connection to the midwinter holidays or something else.

I am well, and well-fed, and things are peaceful here.

Also, it's Yuletide! I got a lovely This Is How You Lose the Time War story as my gift fic. I'm also very pleased that I didn't default the challenge, despite December having been a mad scramble for me scheduling-wise (I'm not great at time management). I'm even fairly pleased with my story.

But anyway, here's my gift fic! I love love love how the author has fleshed out the human story behind a few lines of a letter in the book; it's like the other side of the broad birds-eye view of time and life that our beloved rival time agents have. It complements the canon wonderfully.
