Now that the Big Reveal has gone up, I have found out that my gift, To Catch a Thief, was written by the talented talesofsnape. (I don't know her personally, but we have several mutual friends, and I have always enjoyed her work.) It is a truly delightful little story, and I'll definitely be going back to read it again.

As for my contribution, I can now confess that Squid Lake is entirely my fault—as well as the reason why I now know far more about squid than I had ever expected to learn. :) I have to admit that I'm not entirely pleased with the way that this story turned out, though I gave it my best effort, but its recipient (pieredaes_muse) seemed to enjoy it, and for that I am definitely thankful.
