Streets are filled with --

So, after a decently long hiatus, I'm back?

Wrote a decent amount, so they're all getting grouped together here and linked to AO3. A big hello to anyone from the community, too!

Slowly reposting the Yuletide fics I personally love the most back onto my LJ; if you love me you will read them and ignore the fact that I'm still flailing around in my sandboxes, failing to write things! *BEAMS* But, seriously: The Left Hand of Darkness (by Ursula K Le Guin) is one of those works of fiction that blew me out of the water the moment I read it, and which I strive my damnedest to emulate in terms of... of everything. Give this fandom a shot. Go to your libaries, search for an ebook, borrow a copy, beg for one, steal one open it up and read it. I promise you amazing things will happen.
