your injured leg ... or shoulder ... whichever you decided on

I am not sure how enthusiastic I can be right now, because I am still ragingly ill, but actually that is a perfectly good state in which to snuggle up in a bunch of blankets and read the whole Yuletide archive. Before I do that, though, I got a fic!

Well This Is Just Weird, Hark! A Vagrant, Holmes & Watsons
What it says on the tin, really! This fic is delightfully weird in a Beaton-esque, meta way: some Watsons go missing, and during their investigations Holmes and Watson discover something very strange. This fic made me laugh aloud, clearly knows its Holmes canon very well, and left me with a giant grin on my face. Also, let's be honest, deep down all I wanted for Yuletide was exactly this fandom and these characters, so I am one satisfied Aria.

Now it is time for ALL THE TEA and ALL THE ARCHIVE.

FISH

I am marginally less ill! It is SNOWING, which is absurd! Yuletide reading goes apace and is, as expected, delightful! And the Doctor Who Christmas special was probably everything that I want in a Doctor Who Christmas special. MOFFAT, NEVER LEAVE ME.

The cut text protects you from fish! and spoilers. Mostly Christmas special spoilers, but I am also a bit excited about the preview of the upcoming season. )
