we're far from home and we're all alone but we're so happy

Bunch of shiny things:

My fandom stocking is up! It is here. If you haven't made one yet, you really should -- this is my favourite holiday thing of all.

I'm actually using my tumblr now, so come friend me. It has... pictures. And stuff. Unoriginally, I'm frith-in-thorns.

Rec:
Love and Longing by Lysimache. It's f/f and post-book for Jane Austen's Emma and it is beautifully queer you should definitely go read it. (~4k words)

In that vein, here is a very sweet story about human/alien love and also sex toys: Bits by Naomi Kritzer

I have no other things of note at the present time.

keep your shield before you and your head held high

naye asked me to talk about the October Daye book series, by Seanan McGuire.

I have LOTS TO SAY about them.

( Spoilers - although I'm trying to persuade people to read the books, so I'm keeping them minor )

In short: Read these books! They're awesome!

The books so far:
Rosemary and Rue
A Local Habitation
An Artificial Night
Late Eclipses
One Salt Sea
Ashes of Honor
Chimes at Midnight
