Here the siblings Gudako and Ritsuka both desire a nice long comforting nap for a few days, and choose to take said nap in Mash's stomach. This actually marks the first time I've used both Gudako and Ritsuka in the same story. I've thought about it for stories that never ended up materializing but here we have the Fufimaru siblings in all their chaoticness. I wanted to give them a bit of a difference in personality which I hopefully succeeded in. For some strange reason, I had the desire to write a christmas story TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS!! I'm a slow writer normally, I struggle to get five hundred words out in a day. But here I am going full out for 3400 words in under 30 hours, and I'm not even a festive person. Yet here I am with two different winter holiday stories. One for my anthology, and one for Fate. So happy holidays everyone!

This was one I've been slamming myself into a proverbial wall for the last week trying to write to get it out before christmas. I came up for this at work while listening to some christmas carols I'd never heard before. It got me thinking about what a christmas like holiday would be like in my anthology, and you know me (or you should by now unless you're new to my stories) I DON'T HALF ASS MY WORLD BUILDING! Sure I could have just said it's christmas but vorny, but no f**k that, that's lazy. So here is the holiday Breith, it's traditions and it's reason to exist AND the creation myth of my world and it's many races. Because I am insane and refuse to be lazy with my world building. I do hope the story itself reads well as I hit writers block constantly with this and ended up scrapping and rewriting most of it. All while sick as a dog. So fingers crossed the story reads well.
