I've started working my way through the Ardor in August fics up on the Slashy Santa site. There are some really good ones (along with some deeply strange requests, lol)  I haven't read everything yet, but I think this will be my definitive top six.  It was originally my top five, but I wanted to give Lanyon's fic a special mention because it is kinda totally and absolutely perfect!! So - top six. Go read and remember, reviews are love.

The Season For Arson by Lanyon  -- I love this in so many ways!   When Red made that request, she was inspired!

And after all the fussing and muttering, here's mine... Elrond and Glorfindel, Lindon, big storm.

And the strange weather continues. Gauteng province, including Johannesburg, has snow - the real thing, not something that melts as it hits the ground. Not much work getting done up there, they're all out of their offices having a look. They've had to close a major pass though, because there's ice on the road. Apparently the last time they saw this much snow up there was in the 80s (okay, 'this much' is relative, we're talking no more than a couple inches, of course *g*)

It's all over the mountains down here and the air's so cold it bites even in the sun. We seem to be having a proper winter. Suits me, I'm a winter person :)

Added: and apparently this is the first time on record that all nine provinces had snow falling somewhere on the same day. Yes indeedy, the Mayans were right!!
