Christmas 2017 Wrap-Up

fandom_stocking, the holidays have truly passed. But, it was a good season if a little awkward this year. I got to see some distant family and many goodies were made.
My stocking is here, and it was bursting with awesome this year. Adorable cat photos, gorgeous snow scenes, holiday greetings, and some really nice fanfic gifts.
--Firstly, Changes by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jordannamorgan, which is an absolutely amazing follow-up fic for the Ao no/Blue Exorcist anime and a sequel to her earlier fanfic, Crutch. Seriously, this story has all the elements I'd want to see in a continuation of the anime storyline.
--Then, there's Snow Maiden bycornerofmadness, a short fic that goes back to the early style of adventures in Ao no/Blue Exorcist with the Exwires on a monster-hunting expedition. Which is awesome since I've found myself missing that supernatural mystery/action feel as the story has progressed. Say what you will about Inuyasha's rambling storyline, but I always liked how, after every major arc, Takahashi put the Inuyasha gang back on the road for a few mostly stand-alone adventures battling new and interesting creatures.
--And, Hotsprings and Truces byvexed_wench, a sweet Inuyasha drabble wherein Sesshoumaru pretends he isn't looking out for Rin and succeeds in fooling no one.
Again, thank you to everyone involved!
Now, in the land of physical Christmas presents, it was mostly DVD's this year. I'm slowly amassing a nice library to have on hand through the cold months. Highlights include a complete set of the "Hero Tales" anime (love those Arakawa designs), a couple of the Marvel movies I hadn't collected yet, and "Seabiscuit". Then, there is the FMA hoodie thatjordannamorgan sent (along with some fun goodies and peppermint). It is wondermous. Just look at it. Thank you so much, jordannamorgan! And, a thanks to all my other movie and goodie enablers.
