Measured Words

A pretty good yuletide all around - it has certainly kickstarted me to write more! After thinking I would barely get my assignment done, I wound up writing two treats!

I received a fic in Trollhunters which is mostly about Barbara's relationship with Jim after the series finale, even though he isn't in it :3
