I was so lucky and received a treat in addition to my gift this year. Both stories are wonderful. Thank you, mystery authors!

An Analysis of the Implicit Rules of Expletive Infixation (Or, Where the Fuck do You Put the Fucking Fuck?)
Hark! A Vagrant - Mystery Solving Teens | 8K words
content note: The teens & other characters pantomime methods of suicide as a joke.
In which Vanessa and the Mystery Solving Teens Uncover a Dastardly Plot, Participate in Civic Life, Stake Out a Villain's Headquarters, Lie to a Small Child, and Ramble through Nature Au Naturel.

Or, How Vanessa Dragged the Mystery Solving Teens Toward Graduation while Committing Aggravated Assault on the Rules of English Grammar.


Just what I wanted! Truly snappy dialogue and great capers.

A dirty house in a gutted world
Daniel Danger - or is it the dying little light of the soul | 750 words
A journey through a dark house at the end of winter.

This was, in addition to being a great surprise, a lovely, quiet piece. The worldbuilding was such that, if the author cared to write more in this world, I would be happy to read it.
