Yuletide 2019

I wrote two Yuletide stories this year and was pleased with neither of them - they both felt a bit by-the-numbers, particularly as I was trying desperately to get my assignment done around a hellish number of other things. The second one I wrote late in the evening on Christmas Eve, thinking that I'd had fun previously writing basically-original-fiction for Yuletide ("Humans Are Space Orcs" is a collective term for a number of tumblr posts all about how humans are probably the loud, idiotic, oxygen-breathing weirdoes among all the species of the universe) but the story never really came together. I posted it anyway because Yuletide treats aren't supposed to be perfect? so there we are:
