you remind me of home

Christmas has come early! Well, Christmas fic at any rate. ;)

Thanks to all those who provided encouragement and a special thanks to pluginxbaby for the quick beta. This was a departure from what I normally write so I appreciate any critical feedback people may want to give (especially on characterization and style).

Jon/Ryan, past Pete/Ryan

( I didn't invite you out here, Ross, just so you could go jetting off and leave me out in the cold )

Jen, pluginxbaby , gave me a mix-tape! You can check it out on my profile page! Jeez, Jen, how sweet are you? I think I'm just a little bit in love. (Don't tell Morgan.)


In other news, I might be writing an annoyingly "arty", fluffy, Christmas-themed Ryan/Jon with some angsty past Ryan/Pete tension.

... er, what?

Yeah, confuses the fuck out of me too. I don't even LIKE Ryan/Jon. I think it's probably the second most nonsensical pairing of the panic boys around, but for some reason I am still writing it. I guess I was won over by the idea of Ryan spending Christmas in Chicago with real snow, a real family, and a down-to-earth guy who they both know is interested but just waiting for the right moment to act. On the other hand, it's also fascinating to write about Ryan and Pete - who have decided to try being justfriends after a failed relationship - finally seeing each other again and the mess of feelings that creates, especially against the backdrop of Christmas and Ryan's fledgling thing with Jon.

Now if only I could write it in a less pretentious fashion...


I think the SATD Christmas Fic Exchange has twisted my little brain. It's not even Halloween yet and all I can think of is Christmas. Still, I'm excited! So far participation has been better than we expected, and there are some really wonderful and imaginative ideas in the mix.

Last call for entering (by submitting a prompt) is Wednesday, so get those creative gears churning!
