Happy Yuletide!!

Merry (belated) Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy Saturday! How're you doing?

Yuletide reveals were yesterday. I totally forgot about time zones and was very confused when at 9AM my time the collection didn't show me anything. But then my brain loaded its logical component and everything slotted into place. (In my defense, until a week ago I lived in GMT). Anyway!

I received two truly wonderful fics and wanted to promo them. Both are for the L'Oreal "Time Engraver" Commercials and Metal, Stone, Heart is a crossover with The Long Night.

Summary:
"What am I supposed to do with you?" the Time Engraver asks, and hates the way his throat is closing up. He snatches up his burin, moves to apply it - the only thing he can do. The only thing he's good for, to keep time moving, to keep life in flow.

This is his purpose. Time cannot stop.
