My gifts were all Erik-centric, which I adore. Two are Erik/Raven, which is a pairing I've never thought too much about, but really enjoyed in the hands of this author. They are all lovely, but my favorite might be <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works/3209984/chapters/6982523?show_comments=true&amp;view_full_work=false#comment_25053548&quot;">Yarzeit</a>, for the complex way it works through mourning, ritual and different valences on family, all in less than 1,000 wds. Two of them them are sad stories, but their artistry really brightened my day!<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://ariadnes-string.dreamwidth.org/180480.html#cutid1">3 Erik stories</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />And I got <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works/3209990">icons too</a>!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=ariadnes_string&ditemid=180480" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:190622:79063 2011-07-06T03:51:31Z 2011-07-06T03:52:55Z public 0 A few random icons, since apparently MF was not naked <strike>or beat up</strike> enough for me in XMFC. <br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://ariadnes-string.dreamwidth.org/79063.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=ariadnes_string&ditemid=79063" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:190622:63591 2011-03-20T18:13:20Z 2011-03-20T18:13:20Z public 0 So, you know how I've been trying to teach myself how to make icons?
