The Reading Room

[constant-muse.livejournal.com]

I loved “Snowman with a Dark Coat” by Castalia, it’s become one of my favourites from all the fics we’ve the read at the Reading Room. Thanks to the discerning reader who recced it and to others who pointed out even more reasons to love it.




Coming up next is "Christmas Snow" by PFL:
