maidenjediThought I would share the awesome trio of Little House on the Prairie stories I received for Yuletide and Yuletide Madness! Of the fandoms I requested this year, it surprises me that this was the one each writer chose, but it is a definite win for me :-)
Hasty Hearts and Steadfast Love - Almanzo Wilder/Laura Ingalls and Charles Ingalls/Caroline Ingalls, but it's just as much about Ma and Laura and is a wonderful little glimpse at the kind of advice Ma would be in a perfect position to give.
On the Way Home - Almanzo/Laura. One of my prompts was for Laura and Almanzo to be stuck waiting out a blizzard in the Brewster schoolhouse, and this author delivered in spades. I love the way this brings both of them to a bit quicker understanding of one another, but also respects the age difference and boundaries set by Laura's father. Almanzo is just perfect here!
Warm Together - Almanzo/Laura, a quick little drabble about Laura craving warmth and a picture of early marriage. One thing this made me think about is how Laura, and most likely many of De Smet's residents who survived in The Long Winter, would never want to be cold again, and would very likely fear it.
All told I think I'm now due for a Little House re-read. Maybe in the new year.
Happy Yuletide to all!
