This is a little longer than usual, so bear with me. I know that
eris recently reposted a version she’d done of “A Christmas Carol” from last year. I haven’t read that one…but I know
eris, well, and if she wrote it, it has to be good.
The other day, I was talking with
Lilly, and she and I were discussing the idea of doing a Moonlight version of “A Christmas Carol.” (Mr. Lilly had very kindly made a suggestion to her that it might be a workable fic idea, with Josef getting “Scrooged.”) Both of us knew
eris had done one, and both of us (neither having read it…) were convinced somehow that her version was Josef-centric. So I said, you know, a Mick-centric one might work. We tossed around some ideas, and I started writing…a few days later, and I was already most of the way through chapter 3 of a projected 4 chapters, when I was talking to
eris about something else, and asked her about her “Christmas Carol.” I was extremely downcast to hear that hers, also, was Mick-centric, but she encouraged me to finish it and post it.
And I guess we’re both riffing on Charles Dickens, here, anyway. With apologies to Mr. Dickens, and the disclaimer that as usual, I don’t own Moonlight, or any of its characters, I'm beginning to post my version of:
A Moonlight Christmas Carol
So...one more story to add to the spreadsheet.
Lucky
