It went well.

I have finally worked out how to pav in this oven. Turn the heat waaaaaaaaay down to the lowest setting, then leave it for a couple of hours. Literally, a couple of hours.

I ended up doing it on Christmas morning and it worked beautifully!

( Christmas and Boxing Day )

Saturday I took entirely off, and Sunday I did some stuff around the house. The temps have calmed down a lot - to the point where I wasn't sleeping through the night unless I put an extra quilt on the bed - and so I could do some work I've been putting off for a while.

( of course it happens this week )

I should probably have some breakfast.

CLAIMED - EPH #1: Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard, Лето в пионерском галстуке - Елена Малисова и Катерина Сильванова | Pioneer Series - Elena Malisova & Katerina Silvanova, The Paris Express - Emma Donoghue

Request 1 by Shizuku206
Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard
Characters: Cliopher ""Kip"" Mdang (Nine Worlds), Artorin Damara | Fitzroy Angursell (Nine Worlds)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

I have read HotE, Petty Treasons, Portrait of a Wide Seas Islander, RoFA, and AtfotS. Please NO SPOILERS for books I haven’t read.
I definitely want Kip & HR to be a focus but please feel free to also include additional canon characters!
HotE ate my entire brain. I LOVE Cliopher. I love his devotion and love for his Radiancy, his desire to make the world a better place, his stubbornness and determination, his deep connection to his family, home and culture despite his long years so far away, his utter competence and unshakeable ethics… I love HR and his humor and mischief and longing to escape the confines of his position. I love the special bond they obviously have and which obviously means so much to them both, and my god the pining, I want them to be able to be together in all the ways they want to. I obviously ship them romantically, but if you are more moved to write about their love platonically, that is completely welcome as well. I am absolutely on board with canon divergence of the flavor ""Kip is sexually attracted to HR"" OR canon-level aroace Kip. I would adore fic that has the five friends living in Kip’s house in Gorjo City after they retire, something slice-of-life or working out who they are apart from their jobs. I’m imagining some silly roommate fluff/humor like HR making nothing but fruit salad every time it’s his turn to cook (because he loves fresh fruit!! And he doesn’t know how to cook anything) and everyone else is like “again?!”

Smut likes: Experienced partner/inexperienced partner, gentle first time, explicit consent, enthusiastic consent, negotiating, ongoing communication about consent & likes/dislikes, trying new things, role play and dressing up, hurt/comfort sex, normally anxious/reserved character finding their voice in bed/taking charge, height difference, partially clothed, undressing each other, caring for each other as foreplay/afterplay (e.g. hairwashing, baths, etc.), nipple play, orgasm delay, blindfolds, lots of buildup, characters desperate and begging, so horny they can’t wait/semi-public sex, not conventionally attractive character being desired, rewrite of canon scenes full of sexual tension to instead be ‘what if they just went for it’, restraint, light pain play, sharing of fantasies & then partner planning to fulfill them, disability/neurodivergence accommodation during sex, use of magic during sex, consensual somnophilia.

General DNWs:
-AI-generated content

Лето в пионерском галстуке - Елена Малисова и Катерина Сильванова | Pioneer Series - Elena Malisova & Katerina Silvanova
Characters: Yuri Konev, Vladimir Davydov
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

Oh these boys!! I have only read book 1 and I want to see them have happy times together, it could be either in the original camp time, maybe they agree/decide to have sex before they part, or when they meet again, figuring out how to be together as adults.

The Paris Express - Emma Donoghue
Characters: Victor Garnier (The Paris Express), Guillaume Pellerin (The Paris Express)
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags (if 0: any from tag set)

The Victor/Guillaume relationship was by far the most compelling part of this book for me. What's it like for them to be the loves of each others' lives, but with so much unspoken?

At push of button, this year's Madness collection has 227 works in 183+ fandoms.

Madness collection

Main collection

AO3 wranglers have processed a lot of new fandoms; in the main collection, the 992 that appeared on the fandoms page at reveals have become 1065! Thanks to everyone who has helped make wranglers' jobs easier by using canonical tags, tags from the tag set, or other recommended tags, as appropriate in each case.

If you've written in a new fandom that isn't wrangled yet, we encourage you to use Unspecified Fandom as a tag to help people find your work; many works originally tagged this way now have wrangled fandoms, in which case, you can take the tag off if you wish.

As in the last post:
Commenting
Please comment on your gift(s) to let your writer know you appreciate them. Please also comment on anything else you enjoy!

Recs
Making work recommendations is a tradition. Please see more information at the participant community about where you can post your recs.

Problems
If there is something wrong with your gift or you have another concern, please contact the mods at yuletideadmin@gmail.com.

Anonymity
Yuletide is designed to be an anonymous exchange until January 1. Please don't give away what you've written. When logged in, you can, if you want, reply to comments on your own works, and you will show up as Anonymous Creator until the authors of the collection are revealed.

The Yuletide event concludes at 9pm UTC, 1 January 2026. At that time we will reveal creator names at both the main and Madness collection, and also open the new New Year's Resolution collection.
