We are in shock. It’s been in low 80’s and high 70’s for almost two months. Yesterday and today is damp and cloudy with 65°F. It’s finally winter. At least it’s not 20° so there is that. Happy New Year to all of you. The snowflake challenge starts tomorrow. I know I’m excited. Hugs!

My total words for December was just over 10K, bringing my final total for the year to 121K, which means I reached my goal, but with only 2 days to spare!

One celebration is that for the end of 2025 I have 1,500 works posted to AO3, which is rather clever - totally unplanned.

Once more there isn't much to link to.  Yuletide is still anonymous of course.  So here are my two main works:

Firstly, my yearly offering of Marylebone Monthly Illustrated Christmas Anthology 

And secondly Twelve More Days of Christmas has the first six in the series.  The other six are all written and will be posted daily until January 6th.

Thinking ahead to next year. I've signed up to GYWO of course.
The Fannish 50 is running again but I didn't go great with it previously. I might pick it up again on my terms.

[personal profile] smallhobbit has come up with 26 photos for the year which a lovely way to record the year and post regularly and in this post has an impressive list of courses completed. I've checked out the free courses and identified a couple of Open University ones that looked interesting. My new job has a subscription to National College and are keen for me to do some sort of Continuing Professional Development next year, so at some point I guess I'm be learning something in a structured way :)

I would like to finish the 100 prompts LiveJournal table, started a lifetime ago. And make in-roads on the 100 fandoms. I might ask for help with encouragement/brainstorming for the LJ table. And of course more crafting. Nephew loved the sheep bauble I made for his grandparents that he wants one for his March birthday so that's on the list.

Best wishes as we approach 2026!

Summary
Rizeth’s previous attempt at romance ended in disaster. This time, he’s determined that things will be different. 

He and Ashenivir have chosen to remain in Waterdeep, intending to spend the summer indulging in scenes and venturing into the strange waters of intentional dating. Nothing about it feels easy; everything about it feels right. That alone makes any difficulty more than worth the effort.

But when Rizeth’s history comes back to haunt him, he’ll have to find a way to avoid repeating the mistakes of his past—or risk losing Ashenivir for good.
