Yuletide gift

[gwyn]

This year, I got a story for Better Off Ted, which is a show I've meant to watch for years but that minim_calibre finally convinced me to watch recently when we were socially distanced TV watching. I fell instantly in love with the science nerd characters Phil and Lem (Phlem!), who are kind of beyond adorable, and it was just in time to ask for it for Yuletide. (If you have Hulu and have never seen it, I highly recommend it, there are unfortunately only two seasons but like so many brilliant shows, was cancelled before its time.)

The Cake's the Thing (4018 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: Better Off Ted
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Phil Myman & Lem Hewitt
Characters: Phil Myman, Lem Hewitt, Dr. Bhamba (Better Off Ted), Linda Zwordling, Ted Crisp, Veronica Palmer
Summary:

“No, no, it’s me. You’re as stalwart and virile as the atomic clock, it’s just… this mess in here is throwing my whole morning out of sync.”

“What’s the matter?” Lem asks, trying to crane his neck around Phil to get a better view of the problem.

“Doctor Bhamba is using our freezer again, and there’s an entire crate of Otter Pops smack dab in the middle of the prime cake real estate I carved out last night.”

On the gifting side, I managed to eke out a treat yesterday just before closing. So far it's a typical soul-crushing emotional experience (there's small fandoms, and then there's small). But I need to shake it off and start writing a chapter update for Reverie, because I haven't had one due to the aforementioned holiday fic exchange, so I've not only blown it for reliably having biweekly updates, now I've blown it for having monthly ones.

Glad you got in the stories you wanted for Yuletide, even if they were for tiny fandoms.
