I have way too much shit to do before Christmas. As usual, none of it is really all that Christmas-related. :P So I r making list. Go, me, go!

- Make plane reservations.
- Write all the fics for various ficathons I signed up for.
- Grade papers. (*gurgle*)
- Post all the fics I've completed but am too lazy to post.
- Respond to comments on fics I finally got up the energy to post.
- Throw out old boxes I do not need.
- Fly home.
- Eat cheesecake.

My life r HARD!

I've decided to write 1000 words a day until the ficathon fics are done (there are three fics there, all of which will be looooooooong), grade one paper a day, post a chapter a day (14 things to post there, total), and respond to all the comments of the previous day. Cheerleading is encouraged. :P

For today:
1000 words.
Grade paper.
Post fic.
Respond to comments.

Thank you all! I didn't want to make a post because of one virtual gift but now I have enough that it's easier thank you in LJ directly *gg* (I'll edit the post later should arrive more.) These snowflakes come around ;))

(I wasn't sure if you wanted to have some Snowflake Cookies back. I didn't just want to send some back but if you like a snowflake cookie yourself just comment; comments are screened so don't be shy. ) Seems they are gone now.

PS: my_icon_lj has an entry with Christmas Icons "How good do I have to be" icons where at the moment you can request names if they aren't there yet. Some are already requested and to be added here. Already more names added.

PPS: Not sure - did I mention before that noel_of_spike is posting? If not I did it now. :)

PPPS: Doctor Who: David Tennant, der «Weihnachtsmann» (Santa) (Because he is so often on British TV - lucky ones!) I have proof: Check the cut *gg*

Title: On the Ropes
Pairing: Rafael Nadal/Roger Federer (RPS)
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 7,200 approx.
This fic contains: Infidelity. Angst.
Author's notes: This fic is set in 2011, in a bit of an AU where Roger retired when the twins were born. Usual awesome beta by tarteaucitron although she didn't see the final version, and any remaining mistakes are all mine, bbs. Thanks also to louiselux for hand-holding and to morebliss on general terms.

( Roger smiled, and Rafa felt a pulse of something in his gut. Grow up, Rafa, he told himself. Just grow up. )

Fairly sure you'll see this greeting before we speak again. Hope your family treats you right today, and showers you with love, affection, and all the materialistic goodies you can stand!

**smooches**

PANTS!

That is all. Carry on.
