Prosfic Rec Advent Calendar - Day Four - Was a Fairytale They Say by Slantedlight

[firlefanzine.livejournal.com]

Today I want to introduce 'Was a Fairytale They Say' by Slantedlight.

It is very short, and it's part of the author's Older Lads series. But it stands on it's own!

It is a very nice feelgood story.

And let me bet: If you read it, the next time you see a snowman, it conjures a smile on your face. :-)
And the first things you're gonna check will be a strange bulge, a patch at the backside, tooooo big glasses, and ...a faint smell of roses and lavender around...

In honour of our friendly mod, who spends a lot of time and heart's blood to keep Pros alive and kicking.

You rock! :-)

I know that feeling, right before you finish packing and all the last times begin... I am so happy that the lads at least have each other - their new future will be together. But the end still makes me choke up. Thank you for reccing it.
