Yuletide!

[selenak]

For some reason, I thought the archive would open tomorrow this year, so it was a lovely surprise to find it ready to rock already: Yuletide 2013! This year, I wrote two stories - my assignment and a treat - in two utterly different fandoms, yet as it turns out with a shared theme. I think they're both very recognizably me, but then I think that every year.:) If you're not my two beta readers for the two different stories and can guess which one is mine, I'll write you a drabble (well, more than a 100 words, most likely) on your subject of choice, if I'm familiar with the fandom and it's not one of my all time squicks, of course.:)

My present is this great Breaking Bad story:

Unbreaking (4384 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Breaking Bad
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Hank Schrader/Marie Schrader, Marie Schrader & Skyler White
Characters: Marie Schrader, Skyler White, Walter White Jr., Holly White
Additional Tags: Sister-Sister Relationship, Grief/Mourning, Character Study, Dysfunctional Family, Season/Series 05, Post-Canon
Summary:

Marie copes with the destruction of her home and all the beautiful things that used to live there.

It's the Marie story I wished for, and I love it. As for all the other stories now available to read, it will take me a while, due to Christmas business (thank you mails to write, visiting family members to entertain), which I imagine will be the case for a lot of us. Still: YULETIDE!

If you don't mind guesses, I think I may have guessed your story! Nicole recced it enthusiastically on Twitter, and I just read it, and I think you wrote Blood Ties for Breaking Bad. :)

ETA: reading fail, you obviously don't mind guesses!

As pokerfaced politicians are fond of saying, I could not possibly comment....until the official reveal.:) But I am beaming over here.
