To Bree!
Merry Christmas! Hope it's very merry and wonderful!
My gift is to celebrate one half of my favourite ship! I'll also adopt a plot based character of thy choosing to facilitate your highjinks.

To Kayte from Lynn!
Muse Reads
a curated collection for kayteHappy Holidays darling! Since I know you are a Voracious Reader ™, I decided to make a "playlist" for you... featuring books instead of music! All of these are set in/around the Victorian era and are either books I've read or ones that I'd be willing to read with you if you want to banter about them :) The ones I've already read are marked with * after the author. Merry Bookmas!
| BIRD by Tami Egonu | Listen, I know he's not active but this book sounds fabulous and deals with a interracial marriage facing period racism and also some plot point involving the supernatural. I don't know which flavor of supernatural but I like most flavors, so. | |
| Blythe Fairchild | The Alienist by Caleb Carr * | One of the characters is a police secretary and she's pretty great! Also, serial killer/disappearances/crime shenanigans. |
| Clementine Greengrass | The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams * | The main character is a pseudo-scholar, working on the Oxford English Dictionary despite not having been through upper education, and there are lots of #feminism themes/events/etc. |
| Divona Dodderidge | Last Request: A Victorian Gothic by Jeff Chapman | Young Anna takes her uncle’s last request to have his head cut off after death quite seriously, but in the performance of the act something goes wrong. I don't know why I attached this to Divona except that she seems like the sort who might take a hacksaw to a corpse's neck by request. |
| Euphemia Forsyte (& Evelyn Abercrombie) | School of Ladies - The Debutantes by Ennie Smith | It is a School of Ladies. Actually from the description it appear to be at least part romance novel but has a bunch of protagonists who are connected through their finishing school (?) so it seems appropriately thematic. |
| Eudora King | These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker | A young woman who is 'bored of society' has criminal-adjacent misadventures, with a missing sister and strange magic. |
| Hamish Darrow | Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Suzanna Clarke * | I was going to find a way to put this book on the list somehow because it's one of my favorites >>; None of the characters in this book are particularly Hamish-y BUT! it does have some very neat references to real-world historical events told through a ~magic lens, so might provide interesting ideas for his classes. |
| Richard Evermore | Mr. Blackwood's Fabularium by Stephen Lycett | The protagonist is in debt and decides to collect stories from people Canterbury-Tales style in order to sell those stories anonymously for profit, which sounds like A Time. |
To Lady from Gin!

To Nolie from MJ!
Nolie! <3 Has it really only been a year since you joined us? That seems wild because you are such a great part of the board and I simply couldn't imagine Charming without you! I have been delighted by every thread we've had together and enjoy stalking the adventures of your wonderful bunch, and wish I'd had time to do more for SS this year, but:
Have a set for Maxwell (DM me to add sig lyrics!) aaand when I have more time in the new year, please also hit me up for...

https://*****.host/Caj2Dq.pngTo MJ from Fox!
Darling MJ! DUN DUN DUN - It was me.
I have to confess, while I decided to do a few drabbles for you before I got my assignment just because Poppy was so musey, getting you was just an extra special bonus that turned into a 12-present challenge! Here is the next installment of your Secret Swap! The 12 Gifts of MJ: presents 6-7 <3 I hope you're enjoying them and stay tuned for the remainder in the coming weeks/days!

P.S. You'll find the second part in the usual place ;)
To Stefanie from Fallin!
Dear Stef!

To Gin from Stefanie!
Happy Holidays Gin~! <3
I am SO glad that over the last year we've become as close as we have! I hope that with the next year we can become even closer, and that when #life gets better we can thread out all of the things we talk about on discord since I absolutely adore you and all your characters to bits!
A chilly snow set felt fitting for the ice queen herself ;) DM me with any additions and changes you want my love <3

To Beanie from Kayte!
Sabina, my flower my angel,
You are the best:
- Son
- Husband
- Brother
- Bestie
- Co-worker
- Sister
- Crush
- Mother's hope for her daughter's future husband
that a gal could hope for (even if you didn't come visit me...). Thank you for countless years of sass, commiseration, creativity, and ridiculousness! My life would be altogether bleaker without you <3
Wishing you the absolute merriest of Christmases and a 2023 in which you consistently maintain your will to live <3
To Fox from Bree!
I remember when you first joined, and although I haven't been super active during the duration of your time here with us at Charming, I love seeing how you've developed your characters and grown as a member. I firmly believe that 2023 is our time—I can't wait to explore all of our potential connections with you!
Here's a moodboard I made for Poppy!
Because these beauties should be shared and I wanted to say thank you again to Gin and Kit for the bonus gifts <3 also not featured a Skeetington playlist that I treasure!
