December Prompted Fiction: Afterlife Collection: Richard and Samael at Christmas: 505 words

Written for ysabetwordsmith's prompt: What is Christmas like in the Afterlife? Do the spirits or angels observe it, or does it only affect people like Death who still traffic closely with the mortal world?

Richard looked at Samael. It wasn't unusual for the angel to do things Richard didn't quite expect him to do, but this one was... Well, the tree would have filled his original living room entirely, so the room had grown. A fireplace was one of the several new additions, with stockings for him, Samael and Caitlyn attached to the mantelpiece. For a few seconds all Richard could do was stare at Samael, who was singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer as loud as he could and wrapping another piece of tinsel around the already smothered tree.

December Prompted Fiction: Fae School Collection: Tamara meets an Ice Dragon: 510 words

Written for forgottenspirits' prompt: What happens if an ice dragon turns up at the school?

When Tamara walked into the magic room she was almost positive she was seeing things. The dragons hadn't followed the fae to Earth and yet there was one on River's desk. She looked at it, trying to work out whether it really was just her hallucinating or if it was real. It looked real, but as she had never seen a dragon before she wasn't positive. The body was long and snake-like, more like an Eastern dragon than a Western, and it was beautifully coloured. Some of the scales were white while the others were varying shades of blue. Slowly she walked up to it, wondering what it was thinking as it was staring at her curiously, like it had never seen a human before.

December Prompted Fiction: Random: Estelle and Oria: 509 words

Written for rix_scaedu's prompt: A winter holiday celebrated in the opposite hemisphere to its place/culture of origin.

They had brought their winter holiday with them and they were determined to celebrate it on the correct date, even though it was summer. Estelle smiled as she walked through the market, seeing stalls that hadn't been there the year before, even though it reminded her of why they had all been forced to leave their home behind. She pushed it to the back of her mind. If they had the strength to push away whatever emotions they were feeling to celebrate then she wouldn't let it get to her either.

December Prompted Fiction: Random: Martina: 512 words

Written for skjam's prompt: New Year's: The pause between old and new.

The energy was hard to capture because it only lasted for a moment, but it was important. Most witches didn't bother to even try. Some sorceresses did, as they had spells that they could only do if they had the energy from that moment when the old year ended and the new one began. Everyone could, if they wanted to, collect the energy, as long as they were in the right place at the right time. It did, of course, mean spending time around people, which wasn't something that every witch or sorceress would do. Martina didn't mind much, she actually kind of like people, so she was the one in her coven who was usually chosen to attempt capturing the energy.
