So my awesome Yuletide stories, all about the undisguised metaphors for sex, were by Jenn Abiding (Brilliance of a Heart, Vampire Knight) and Olivia Circe (Allegory, Revengers Tragedy).

I only wrote my assigned story this year:

Title: Cigarettes in Five Hands
Fandom: Maggie Helwig's Between Mountains
Recipient: [livejournal.com profile] therealjae
Summary: Two years and all he can make out in Cyrillic is curses and Beware, sniper.

Notes:
Much thanks to [livejournal.com profile] loligo for research help and general encouragement. Any errors are, of course, my own. The conceit is stolen from Marguerite Yourcenar's A Coin in Nine Hands.

This story is set in Sarajevo, December 24-25, 1994. Sources included:


  • a lot of newspaper articles
  • Peter Andreas, Blue Helmets and Black Markets: The Business of Survival in the Siege of Sarajevo
  • Tom Gjelten, Sarajevo Daily: A City and Its Newspaper Under Siege
  • Tim Judah, Kosovo
  • Antony Loyd, My War Gone By, I Miss It So: So completely NOT RECOMMENDED I had to write letters to [livejournal.com profile] loligo and [livejournal.com profile] springgreen about how much I hated it and wanted to stab its author with MANY KNIVES. DO NOT READ.
