Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Brittany/Santana
Rating: PG-13
Words: 1584
Summary: Five times Brittany and Santana get their cuddle on.
Notes: Seven years in fandom and I'm finally popping my 'five times' cherry. We all have to at some point, right?

Fandom: Skins
Pairing: Naomi/Sophia
Rating: PG
Words: 1154

Happy New Year, everyone! ♥

Fandom: Skins
Pairing: Katie/Effy
Rating: PG-13

Summary: Effy's spent the last few months watching from afar as Katie scraped together her self-esteem, but it's a brittle armour, easy to punch through should Effy wish.

Rating: PG-13
Words: 1649
Disclaimer: This never happened.
Summary: The first time they kiss is almost comical in its awkwardness.

So, the big Yuletide author reveal means I can finally talk about my stories. :D I wrote two; my main one was Whom You Leave Shackled By Love (Libba Bray - A Great and Terrible Beauty, Felicity/Pippa) and the Treat I wrote was lighting the fuse might result in a bang (Bend It Like Beckham, Jess/Jules). As is, I assume, the way of Yuletide, the Treat I knocked out at the last minute has over twice as many comments as the fic I spent ages over. XD But I put that down to the popularity of the fandoms rather than their relative quality, because... yeah. The Bend It Like Beckham piece is Not That Great.

For my first year, I have to say that I've had an awesome Yuletide experience. Received two great fics (thank you, mturtle and violetion!), wrote a fic I'm reasonably proud of and another that other people seemed to like, read a TON of great fics in fandoms I've never really touched before... AWESOME. And I can't wait to do it all over again next year. :D

Title: The Secret We've Been Looking For
Pairing: Blair/Serena, Serena/Georgina
Rating: R
Words: 8295
Disclaimer: Alas, all characters belong to people that aren't me.

Hurrah for Gossip Girl bringing my fic-writing mojo back! I actually managed to finish one and pluck up the courage to post it, which is a very rare occurrence for me. I'm hoping that it'll become less rare because I have a million and one fics swimming around my head.

Title: Show Your Shark-Tipped Teeth
Pairing: Serena/Georgina, background Serena/Blair
Rating: R
Words: 2,108
