Ah, guess I'm a day late for the BIG UNMASKING? Oh well. HARK! TIS I who wrote [livejournal.com profile] yuletide story Gerda and the Snow Queen for [livejournal.com profile] ave_eva. Which is rough in places that still make me wince, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and glad that my recipient enjoyed. ♥

Meanwhile, because my f-list is doing it and I wanna be one of the cool kids: New Years Request Meme. Standard flavor this time. You know how this goes: name a fandom/pairing/characters and I write you a story of dubious drabble status to the best of my ability provided said request does not destroy my brain.

When asked where babies come from:


“A great affair: in which the female folds her tastefully plain wings and perfumes herself while the male struts about with as much plume as possible. The two circle in an elaborate and very tedious ritual, which consists of much careful pressing on the male’s part and well constructed show of apathy on the female’s part, in which she is expected to be demure and pure as snow while giving quiet hint that she is secretly a raging temptress. A great deal of wine and at least three parties later, there will probably be sex, and it will be very forgettable, probably due to the aforementioned wine, and with approval of their families an engagement will be announced. It is both parties goal to prolong this period for as long as possible. For, you see, at this point they can have as many forgettable matings as they’d like, with all the approval of their families and popular society, so long as the money remains good on both sides. When one grows less attractive and the other sick of looking at them, they marry. After this they spend the rest of their lives either in other people’s beds or bored out of their minds, for you see there is no better way to avoid having to sleep with someone than marrying them. Your father knew this very well: which is probably why he only married our late Empress and then got the rest of you on whores, which is another word for ‘mistress’ by the way, and in the right circles they do very well for themselves indeed. Will that do, My Lord?”

“Ah,” said Larsa, faintly, “Thank you Judge Ghis, I think that answers my question…well enough.”
