bruttimabuoni's Tree

This is the Tree for [personal profile] bruttimabuoni! Below are the requested Pears it can be decorated with (beginning 24 December).



Username: bruttimabuoni
AO3 Username: brutti_ma_buoni

Request 1: I adore other people's festive traditions. Please tell me something you're happy to share, something you like to do/read/make/watch that makes it feel like YOUR holiday?

Request 2: Any kind of artwork for a Lord Peter Wimsey/Harriet Vane historical documentation AU I wrote for Yuletide last year (https://archiveofourown.org/works/17110754) - it's set in the 14th century, with travel, documents, and collars for milady. Needn't be about the characters, I'd be just as happy with a picspam of especially exciting medieval records...

Request 3: A nice fresh limerick, on any holiday theme you like. (Bonus for the Buffyverse, though I'm long out of fandom these days.)

Request 4: A drabble or other short fic/cover art/other artlet inspired by the brilliant idea of the Invisible Ficathon (https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Invisible_Ficathon_2014/profile) - stories or art about fictional works that never existed independently of their canon. To quote the profile "Think The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore by Rita Skeeter; The Itchy and Scratchy Show; ... Well, that about wraps it up for God by Oolon Colluphid."

Request 5: A rec of the book you have read in the last year, or the show/film you have watched, that has stuck with you most. I'm in need of some new fandoms, or reading material.

Additional Information: I'm easy to please, and delighted by the concept of this!

Thank you - and Frohe Weinachten back! I do know some German traditions, but it's really patchy, as I never met any of my German relatives. Now I'm just a tourist when I visit, so some things (Christmas markets, obviously) are really well known and other things (Christmas Eve potato salad) I just did not know. So this is fascinating! I hope you're having a good, quiet Christmas with not too much work to interfere with a few days' break.

Thank you, I did indeed have a nice and calm Christmas this year. Lots of Yuletide fics and no work interruptions. :)

I really appreciate that you replied to my pear despite posting anon. I'm aware that's a courtesy not to be taken for granted. So, thank you. I hope you receive some more pears for your tree.
