Here we go, the actual reason for my writing break last month. It was a busy break, let me tell you. But I've been planning on doing a second installment of this basically all year, so I was excited to make it happen.

The basics: there will be one drabble every day from now until Christmas. Should any specific warnings apply, I will put them before the respective chapter. These drabbles will, for the most part, alternate between canon-set and AU.

Compared to last year, there are two changes. First, there will only be 23 drabbles as opposed to 24. There will be a full-length one shot to wrap things up, which will be posted separately on the 23rd. Second, because I am a lot busier than I was this time last year, I have given myself a word limit of 500 words for each chapter. Last year, I lost control over some of these and they turned into 2k long one shots, and I just didn't have the time for that this time around. I hope that's ok, though, and that you'll still be able to enjoy these – there is one exception to this rule, so stay tuned for that.

Now, enough with all the endless talking and let's get this started. I'm wishing all of you a smutacular December
