Title: The Shortest Day
Author: PeroxidePirate
Rating: PG
For: kit
Summary: Long Night Eve is a strange time to be caught between cultures. But it's easier if you're not the only one
Because: Because it is beautiful. Because there needs to be more Daja/Polyam in the world. Because Briar talks trees into being Christmas decorations, and Tris knows chutney is of vital importance, and Sandry makes cajoling into something exquisite and Polyam writes letters, and—yes, I’m reccing a fic that was written for me. But one of my favourite parts of writing for this section of Giantkiller was reading this piece again. You should, too.
