Prosfic Rec Advent Calender - Day 23 - Guess the Story

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Sooo, here we are with another Guess the Story post. I'll give you three clues this time and the comments will be screened, so that you can comment if you think you now it or if you want to tell me that it is to difficult. *g*

I'll post the second and third clue under a cut, because maybe you know the story after the first few lines and the first picture I'll give you.

Here we go, clue one:

Doyle reached out, squeezed his hand, and one of the snowmen crumpled to jagged shards of plastic in his fist. They weren't solid, there was nothing more than air inside their hollow little centres.



That was the first clue. It would be nice to hear if you allready know what story it is. But if not, under the cut is clue two.



"Where d'you keep your spare soap?" Bodie finally asked, standing upright again and frownin when he saw Doyle standing there behind him. "It's not in the bathroom, it's not in the kitchen....."

"Hall cupboard", Doyle said, wondering how he could tear his eyes away from the single drop of water sliding it slow way down Bodies neck.




Here comes the last one



His tray hit a rise in the hill, and for just a moment he flew before falling again with a thud that vibrated through his bones, that sent his feet out in front of him so that he lost his seat and twisted around, rolling through the snow untel he came to a halt, panting for air, heart pounding, before shaking his head and grinning like a madman.

He looked up to find Bodie in a similar state, a few feet away.

"Falling off's the best bit," Bodie said, pushing himself to his knees and dusting away the snow.

Oh, it would be nice to know after which clue you knew which story it is. Could you add the information into the comments please?

Have fun guessing!

When you think I have an idea, forget it, not the slightest chance to guess, at least for me. I only want to say, it´s a very nice pic of Doyle and the lads had fun, well done.

I love this story.

[hagsrus.livejournal.com]

Something by Slantedlight but I don't recall the title. I remembered the crushable snowmen.

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, you're right. It is one of byslantedlight's stories. It is So Here It Is (https://archiveofourown.org/works/2709143). And Doyle did crush the snowman and the fairy.

Thanks for taking part of this "Guess The Story".

I really have no clue! I'm very sure I don't know the story.
It seems to be a nice one though! :-)

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it is a nice one, but it is one I love.

It is So Here It Is (https://archiveofourown.org/works/2709143) by byslantedlight.

And if you haven't read it, go and read it. It is worth it.

I can't remember reading this story (looking forward to finding out!), but the writing style reminds me of our byslantedlight.

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is a story of byslantedlight. It is So Here It Is (https://archiveofourown.org/works/2709143) and it is another sort of Christmas story.

Just wanted to add: I love your clues and the way you illustrate them and put them together!

[macklingirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! It is nice to read that there is someone who loves my way of thinking and addind pictures to the stories. I can't stop my brain from doing this. :-)

Oh botheration, I missed it again! (my excuse is that we had to go and collect Spawn#1 from the station, just arriving for a few days' visit). But again excellent clues for a wonderful story - for some reason there seem to have been a lot of my own favourites mentioned this year :-)
Thank you for setting the puzzle!!!

I wonderd that you didn't join. But you have a very good excuse. And I even waited till it was after 10pm before I told everyone what story it was. Maybe you can join next year. :-)

Have a wonderful Christmas!
