Yuletide reveals are out! I am incredibly predictable this year. I also didn't manage very many treats, but hey, more than zero! I was pretty burned out from a busy exchange season + Whumptober + trying to finish up year-end prompts plus releasing 2 books in December; that sure was a thing, so Yuletide suffered a bit. (Next year: plan better.)

Trouble In My Town (Alliance-Union, Graf & Hellburners + Bet Yeager, 1600 wds)
Graff has an errand. He's not the only one.

My assignment! I had this request marked for treating, and then realized only when it landed in my inbox and I actually HAD to write it that I had misread "bar crawl" as "bar brawl." Well, one can easily turn into the other, right? Also, putting Bet and the Norway crew in the same place was a lot of fun. I've written the Hellburners quite a bit, but I've never written Bet, and I figured my recipient would appreciate some Graf POV. <3

there's an art to it (Claire + Matt, 1500 wds, Defenders missing scene)
It's been months since Claire last saw Matt Murdock, and so of course this is her first sight of him, battered and bloody and unconscious in the precinct's squad room. Because he can't just call her up and say "Hi, how are you Claire, want to get lunch?" like a normal person.

This was a treat for one of the pinch hitters, who (among other things) wanted Matt and Claire getting more interaction during the police precinct scenes. I really love writing Claire and I also love writing treats for pinch hitters - two great tastes that taste great together!

Green for Renewal (Defenders, Jessica + the rest, 1700 wds)
There is a plant on Jessica's desk. And she definitely didn't put it there.

And I really wanted to treat some of the others Defenders people, especially the people I knew, so some Jessica fluff (well, fluff Jessica style - snarky fluff!) snuck in there. I would have liked to have written more Defenders treats, but ah well, there's always the 2020 exchange season for that.
