Not Quite a Christmas Carol. Part 3.

Finally here! It could probably be better, but I'd like to post before Easter, and overall I'm quite happy with it. Anyway, this really has nothing to do with Christmas - dunno why I'm writing Riley centric stuff, but I can only hope that it'll appeal to both those who like the character and those who do not - mostly I tried to tie up a few lose ends. ::crosses fingers::

If anyone wants to play catch-up, here's Part 1. (The story is set within my 'Maybe Someday' verse, but is pretty much a stand-alone. There is a second part, but it is an interlude full of Spuffy schmoop that isn't really important to the main story.)

As always many smooches to my ever fabulous beta kathyh!

Feedback makes me do the Snoopy dance. :)

A little drabble for LM!

Dear lillianmorgan.

This is just a little something that's been sat in a folder for far, far too long. Possibly started as a delayed birthday fic, I'm not sure. Anyway, it's not quite Sparla, but as close as I'll probably ever get (Set sometime after the Boxer rebellion stuff). Only a drabble, but I hope you like it. :)

MUST READ essays!

My head is crammed to overflowing, so I pimp! But seriously, this is top-notch stuff - we have such clever people on LJ!

First avrelia wrote an essay: Character Study: Anya, life and death of. Very insightful and intriguing, she really manages to get under the skin of the character, highlighting flaws and strengths and the odd path her life took. For anyone who loves Anya, this is a must-read!

Then frenchani posted one an essay containing one of the most fascinating theories I've ever read: The mystery that is The First Evil. I have never come across this way of looking at TFE before and I am hugely impressed with the whole thing. *And* it makes an awful lot of sense, showing S7 in a completely new light! I love it!

(There's more good stuff being posted on lateseasonlove so do have a look if you have some spare time! :) )
