I HAVE WON YULETIDE

dhampyresaNo, seriously, I have. Every time I think it can't get any more awesome, it does.
First there was me managing to write 8 fics, despite everything (including the one I wrote on the plane): 1 assignment, 6 full-length treats and 1 madness treat. (Speaking of which, I will write a fic for anyone who guesses right about which fic(s) I wrote.)
Then there were my yuletide gifts, of which I got A LOT. (Presented here in alphabetical order/grouped by fandom.)
In "Carthaginian mythology" alone, I got three (3!) and to think this was the fandom I thought was the least likely to be written. I got basically every single permuation of the Dido + Tanith relationship possible. I got a fic where Tanith was waiting for Dido to arrive, I got a fic where Tanith followed Dido to Carthage and I got Dido/Tanith femslash. YES.
Y'all should go and read all my Carthaginian mythology fics because they're all awesome! But you should also read my Gwen Variants (Marvel Comics Covers) fics too, because they are ALSO awesome. I got notifs for two (2!) such fics in the main collection. I got Gwen!Hawkeye with MJ!Black Widow and I got Sorcerer Supreme Gwen Stacy on Battleworld.
MJ!Black Widow and Hawkeye!Gwen: superheroes by night! In a band, presumably also by night!
I was so happy about all these fics, but then Madness opened and I got another fic!
THE TITLE IS A PUN and the whole fic is basically delightful.
You'd think my yuletide couldn't get anymore awesome, because it's not like I was going to get more fic, was it? But WRONG! I did get more fic! (It was gifted to dhampyresa on ao3 instead of sevenofspade which is why I found it late.)
IT'S 7K OF SUPERPOWERED GWEN AND IT'S AMAZING.
So that's my yuletide. I got seven (7!) fics and I wrote eight (and all of them have been well-received so far), so yes, I have won yuletide, because not only did I get SO MANY FICS, all the fics I got are amazing.

The Tanith Cycle (4287 words) by AnonymousI really love the relationship between Tanith and Dido in this one, Tanith's hunger for war against Dido's measured peace and the trust between the two. It's also fix-it fic! (And the Tanith/Ba'al relationship is really sweet.)
