Hi, frodolyn! I'm jazzfic, your backup Santa. The sled suffered a slight prang and had to wait for a tow. Let's pretend it's not March!

Title: The Great Unpredictable
Rating: G
Pairing: Wash/Zoe
Words: 1,376
Summary: It had become a yearly battle of wills, seeing which of them could outdo the other on their anniversary.

Hi all! Here at last, is the Masterlist for the 2008 Serenity_Santa exchange.

I'm sorry I've taken so long to do this. Six weeks of bad weather is my only excuse.

There are still some links missing as I have to chase up broken links and unfinished pieces, but these will be added soon. There are still some gifts owed too and these I am working on providing with the help of some lovely pinch-hitters. Thank you in advance! :D

Thank you all for participating in this exchange. There is some great stuff in the links below. If you haven't read/looked at them, check them out! And don't forget to comment!

I will add the other gifts etc as they come in and post a notice of that so everyone can see... ( Read more... )

Hi all! Cyclones, floods and gale force winds have just taken over my life the last two months. Hopefully they are now over and I can get with the program. My apologies for the lateness in following a few things up.

The masterlist post will be up this week for sure and for those of you who still owe gifts could you please PM me and let me know if you wish to continue? I have had some offers from other comm members who are willing to pinch-hit, so please let me know this week.

Sorry this is so late!!! I was making a video but couldn't get it finished, so I hope you like this fanmix!



I posted the mix here at my journal

Hi all! The final date for posting is upon us! Thanks to all of you who have already completed your assignments. You've done an awesome job and there's some great stuff here.

ladytalon1 and romanceguru your Santas assure me your gifts are nearly done and will appear soon. Since I don't want to post names, anyone else who is near to completing their assignment, or who can't finish it; could you please email or PM me so I can organise pinch-hitters or notify your recipients that they haven't been forgotten? That would be wonderful :)

Summary: Written for bookaddict43 for serenity_santa. Kaylee unwisely breaks off her and Jayne’s relationship when the Tam’s board Serenity. Jayne contemplates leaving the ship.

( My Best Friend’s Fight )



Also: I originally wrote another fic for you (Exhaustion and Labour), but was worried it would be too... angsty for a Christmas fiction. So I only have the first part up. But if you like it, I will finish the second part as well and post it.

Hi all! It's great to see all the awesome Santa gifts appearing on the comm isn't it? Thanks to all who have posted so far, in particular my back-up Santas!

As you know, the last date for posting your gifts is the January 10th. Since some of us, me included, have not quite finished our gifts I hereby grant a week extension. *is weird*

Final, final due date is January 17th. If you feel you can't finish by then, please contact me and I will arrange a pinch-hitter.

Hey wildannuette, I'm your Secret Santa. I have 10 icons for you as well as a Simon/Jayne wallpaper.
( happy holidays! )

Title: Wǒ Yuàn Yì
Author: before_drizzle
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Zoe/Wash
Summary: Wash had always considered himself a man of many words.

Note to Santa (wishlist): Zoe/Wash or Zoe/Wash/Mal (het, if you're using all three - and Friendship fic is ok, too, with possible jealousies on the side). I would love to read a story centered around Zoe and Wash's wedding reception, but I'll take anything with those two. ☺ I'll read anything G to hard-R, but if it's NC-17 there has to be a plot (not just pure porn).
Note from Santa: A belated happy holidays, ninamonkey! I hope you enjoyed them.

"Wǒ yuàn yì" literally means "I want" and is the Chinese equivalent of "I do".

Hello Pukajen! Your Secret Santa was unable to fulfil their duties (a scandal with the major, and they've lost the tiara!), so I am your back-up Santa! Yay for you!!

Fic: Serenity's Phantom
Author:Jaded_Jacqui
Rating: PG
Character focus: Mal & Inara
Summary: Simon and Kaylee see an opera, and it hits home for both of them.

( Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new place... )

Title: where do we go from here?
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: Mal/Simon
Summary: Simon occasionally sees Mal’s downcast eyes, a scratch of his hand across the back of his neck that flexes his scarred knuckles. It’s never what Mal says, it’s what he doesn’t say that speaks volumes.
A/N: Written for kaneha, hope you enjoy it! Very mild spoilers for the BDM.

Simon studied many things in Osiris.
