Considering that it's a grumpy asshole SecUnit who didn't attend any parties, Murderbot wasn't expecting to get any gifts this holiday season.
It was wrong.

Summary
Kel sat and thought about it all through the long summer-- thought about joining the Riders when she turned sixteen, or going back to the Yamani Isles with her parents, or running away to become an unlawful bandit hunter. She drank tea with her mother and accepted her quiet sympathy. She wondered what was going to happen to Peachblossom. She did her morning glaive practice dances in the heady air of the tiny courtyard garden of her parents' townhouse, where the cook grew herbs and spices in big overflowing boxes.
Summer rolled on. She sat, and she thought, and she did not tell her thoughts to anyone. On the first day of what would have been her second year of page training, she woke before the sun and had a quiet breakfast with her father, and then she jogged up the big dusty hill to the palace.
When the pages trailed out to the practice yards with dubious enthusiasm, she was waiting just outside their ground. Her chin was high, her shoulders loose while her hands gripped her weighted staff.
"Probationer," Wyldon barked out her, when one of the boys went to fetch him. "Was I unclear in the spring?"
Kel stared him down, fingers white on her staff, and said, "I'm not a probationer anymore."

The Transfiguration Incident, Or Pettigrew's Problems by Kyra_Neko_Rei
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
The lesson is transfiguring rats into teacups . . . only Ron Weasley's rat is actually an Animagus, which has dire consequences for the spell, for Peter Pettigrew, and for the Dark Lord's prospects for resurrection (and rather better consequences for Minerva McGonagall's reputation). Cross-posted (finally!) from Tumblr.

Close the door (but don't forget) by Goonlalagoon

Summary
"Eleanor!" Looking horribly embarrassed, the woman turned to the bemused Pevensies. "I'm sorry, my daughter has a somewhat...overactive imagination. She's asking about your favourite game of pretend."
Susan was already watching, with a touch of disbelief, for the hidden flinch so caught the secretive smile, and felt her heart quicken. Her parents were already laughing, and talking about the games she and her siblings were forever playing after the war. Her pulse was a roaring in her ears, because she knew the look in Eleanor West's eyes as well as the other girl could see into hers, because her own well meaning mother was saying "...some fantastical thing with talking animals and unicorns, where was it set darling?"
"Narnia," she murmured, voice perfectly light, inconsequential, "we called it Narnia." Her parents nodded, unconcerned, and they were all chuckling over the vivid imaginations of children and her pulse was screaming in her ears, and then the girl before her was looping and arm through hers and tugging her towards the door, asking permission to be excused so she could show Susan the grounds for a bit and leave the adults to it.

Summary
The moon asked the sun, “What do you know of love?”
“It burns,” said the sun. “It brightens. It is something you make and then give away.”
“Don’t listen to him,” said the clouds. “This big ball of gas doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
“Yes, I do,” said the sun. “Who but me makes the roses grow?”
“We do,” said the clouds. “Love nourishes, like the rain. We turn the hills green and fill the creeks so they will sing in their creekbeds.”
“Why do you ask?” said the sun.
“I think I might be in love,” said the moon. “I am trying to understand.”

After Kel breaks orders and invades Scanra to rescue her Haven civilians in Lady Knight, she is found guilty of treason in wartime.
She escapes with the help of friends and does the only thing Kel could ever conceive of doing in that instance-- she keeps fighting Tortall's war.

Summary
“Only you can really judge how you feel, Chief. Out here there’s no one to decide that for you.”
Krem wasn’t entirely correct— Bull didn’t know how he felt, but for once it didn’t have anything to do with the absence of the Qun in his life. He’d always been like this, always lacked romantic attraction to people. Sure, the Qun had never forced him to think about it like other Thedosian cultures had, but they hadn’t really been the source of it. He knew plenty Qunari who struggled to keep a hold on their romantic attraction for the sake of their role; they’d lost a lot of good people over the years to nothing more than them not being able to pretend like they didn’t have those feelings anymore.
Bull had found the Qun to be a perfectly comfortable place in that regard. He never had to try and pretend to feel like he didn’t, and sex was regulated so he didn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Tama was what’d fucked everything up.
