I think I mentioned before that I have the most awesome friends.

I also have two best ones. Two who just know how I click and how to make me incredibly happy.
And this year? They did it again.
Both

murron and

auburnnothenna wrote stories for my birthday!

auburnnothenna wrote I Count the Moments, Darling, Till You're Here With Me , an Inception story which she calls ambiguous gen, and if you know Auburn's writing, you know what to expect. It's smart, funny and works with the Inception world in the best, and yet completely fresh way. Also, can I just metion the fact that she has Arthur playing cello?

murron wrote All The Neighbours Might Think, which is SPN and Dean/Cas and just the warmest thing since the invention of hot chocolate. It's both melancholy and hopeful, gentle, charming and sexy. It offers lovely backstory and her own brand of sense of place. If you read her stories, you're just there. Also, the scene with the candles simply stands out.

Others who didn't write but sent presents that were beyond lovely already received e-mails, but should be mentioned here again:

quiller77,

sleepwalker41 and

olympia_m. Also to those of you who sent LJ gifts!

Thank you all. You made for a very happy birthday and Christmas!
