Late Chocolate Box Roundup Part 1 - due South

[lomelinde_laurea]

World events have knocked me out of fandom mood for a while, and I'm trying to get back into a fannish frame of mind. So here goes ...

This was the first time I participated in the Chocolate Box Exchange, and I had a ball. I received two amazing gifts that I loved to bits, and I really enjoyed writing my assignment and some treats as well (I conveniently had a week off work before reveals).

I wrote three due South stories - two that are fairly fluffy and one that is anything but.
