kangeikoI haven't posted for a million years. I'm definitely going to try to be better about that in 2019, because 2018 sucked quite a bit and I think that my preferred method of 'bottling everything up and refusing to discuss anything with anyone or express myself in any way other than silent rage' may perhaps not have been as emotionally healthy as I had originally supposed.
However, although 2018 sucked and should die in a fire, I did do some things that helped. Now, that's not to stay that I continued doing them, or even that I was consistent in doing them, but I tried out a bunch of stuff, and it did help, so I'm going to try doing it a bit more.
The first thing that I did which helped was making time to write. That sort of trailed off by about July time (work conspiring with house stress to grind me into fine powder) but I got back into it (sort of) for Yuletide, so I will try again.
Speaking of Yuletide, I want to squee over my lovely gifts! Look! Look at all the goodies! I really, REALLY needed a good Yuletide this year, and my lovely Yuletide Santas delivered in spades.
First of all, my gift:
Another Birthday (1214 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Nanny
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: C.C. Babcock & Niles (The Nanny), C.C. Babcock/Niles (The Nanny)
Characters: C.C. Babcock, Niles (The Nanny), Fran Fine, Maxwell Sheffield
Additional Tags: Birthday, Banter
Summary: It's C.C.'s birthday and she wants to forget all about it and celebrate it at the same time. Niles has other ideas.
Why I love it: it's perfectly in character, and gives us both the banter of the show plus the flashes of sweetness between CC and Niles that made me love this show. CC doesn't want to be made a fuss of (except that she does); Niles is his usual mean self (except when he's being adorable). This was so lovely, and beautifully written!
I also received two lovely treats as well!

Summary: C.C. bakes Niles a birthday cake. It goes about as well as can be expected.
Why I love it: it's adorable. Sweet and fluffy, with a little frisson of flirtation at the end, and I can picture Niles's face perfectly.

Relationships: Nicholas Seafort/Edgar Tolliver
Characters: Nicholas Seafort, Edgar Tolliver
Additional Tags: Wilderness, Fever, Yuletide Treat
Summary: Nick and Tolliver spend a night in the wilderness.
Why I love it: aaaaaaah, it's Nick looking after Tolliver, of COURSE I love it! Nick at his martyr-best attempting to nurse Tolliver back to health, only for Tolliver to immediately turn the tables the moment he's able to sit up. I love this look at Nick playing nursemaid, and his slow realisation of what Tolliver means to him.
