Summary:

Just over a day at the beach, and already his hair was even lighter than usual—practically white—and his skin was darkening to its usual California tan. His eyes were just slits of sea blue, and he was smiling at me. I could feel myself smiling back, broad and goofy. This is what it would be like every morning. Someday.

I edged my hand out into the sand between us, and his came to meet mine. I am the luckiest guy in the history of the universe.

“Ah-ah-ahhh!” Vanessa called out.

I squeezed Jeff’s hand, dropped it, and raised my hand to flip Vanessa the bird.

“Forget it,” said Jeff, sitting up and brushing the sand off his shoulders. “We’re under a microscope.”

Oh wait, I promised you something else today! Hold tight for my next post.

Ack! Chapters 13-15 are up. It's not Monday until I go to sleep!

Continuing my plan to post 3 chapters a day of my new BSC fic, I've just posted chapters 4-6. We're up to a total of 17,000 words. I'm actually not sure how long it will end up (still doing some tweaks as I post), but at this rate we're looking at about 68,000 words, which I think will make it the longest thing I have ever written.

It appears the Baby-sitters Club book reviews on my site are broken. I'm working on backing them up to goodreads.

Because it is not disallowed to sign up late, I have also signed up to be an author at Journey Story. Yes, in Baby-sitters Club. :D Oh, man, who is going to do art for me?

I've never participated in yuletide before, so I don't know if this is normal, but due to what I can only assume is a Christmas miracle and/or clerical error, I have been gifted with no less than five (5) stories! AND THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN.

Electioneering, Baby-Sitter's Club, Gen - Takes place in high school! I love seeing the BSC girls age. :)

As Though The Strings Were Thine, Merchant of Venice, Antonio/Bassanio - I seriously can't believe I actually got this! An extremely valid and delicious "Bassanio fucking Antonio for money" reading.

I Should Assume It's Still Unsteady, How I Met Your Mother, Barney/Robin pre-het (? is that a term?) - Robin deals with some emotional fallout w/r/t her father's feelings about her and Barney's apparent coldness masks surprising sweetheartiness - i.e. things I love in HIMYM.

It's Magic, How I Met Your Mother. Barney is MAGIC. Seriously. How did this writer know about my NPH/unicorn OTP...?

Waiting, How I Met Your Mother, as Barney/Robin as the show. Could it be... a new Sparkles video? :) A sweet holiday tale with great, funny one-liners.

I want to thank all of my Yuletide writers - this was an awesome haul! I really appreciate all the work everyone put in. All the stories came out great and I adored reading them.
