Where there are cookies, maybe there's a story to enjoy as well.  Here's another early entry from the annals of MFU Christmas stories.  This one has always fascinated me, and I've read it more than once (or twice).  So, here for your enjoyment is

Great rec. I read this one a long time ago and it's definitely one worth re-reading.

It is, and there's a follow up somewhere, I think. Not tonight though, toddling off to bed now :D

The (unfinished) sequel, called "Epiphany", which I intend to complete someday, may be found on fanfiction.net and on AO3, with the main story (first published in Kuryakin Files) and a few poems.

I've read this before as well, and had absolutely no intention of reading it again tonight, but I got drawn in and could not stop.
It is just such an involved story.

I think this is one of the first stories I ever read back when I found fanfiction three years ago. It does pull you in... :D

That's a very nice surprise for me: I had got so little feed-back that I had assumed nobody was interested in this gritty and rather gloomy Xmas story! Thanks for your choice and comments.

It's my pleasure to recommend this story to Section VII... and everyone else ;) It's always seemed like a real life view of what might happen, with errors and tragedy close at hand; all of it done with the best intentions.
For me it's one of the MFU classics.
