Story: Frozen, like me
Author: calapine/Carmen Sandiego
Rating: not given, but I'd say All Ages
Word count: 1600
Author's summary: Take comfort where you can, and wrap up warm in winter.
Characters/Pairings: Nyssa/Tegan, Five
Warnings: None

Recced because: Because they're my OTP, dammit, and they're captured perfectly here. The story evokes its harsh wintry setting perfectly, setting up a fantastic contrast with the warmth they provide one another, and the different ways it expresses itself given their different but complementary personalities. Fabulous.

Ha. (I like reccing older stuff, I feel like it broadens out the comm to be a proper "best of Teaspoon" type thing.)

" It was not a new occurrence."

Suddenly that moves the entire story into a different dynamic, which matches the hands wrapped round mug, blanket over shoulders, images perfectly.
