I need this so I assume you need it as well: you are a fucking delight. You are born from the deep magic and are a well of endless possibility. Your smile makes the sun jealous and your tears nourish the earth. You are every magnificent thing and I'm so fucking glad we get to exist together.

Everything's still going to plan to get this little end-of-year gift out to you by the middle of December. The aim is to have the story ("The Light in the Darkness") ready by the 12th December, so I can share it in my newsletter on the 13th. If I can get it ready to roll before that date I will!
