highadrenalineexchange! The trick is to only offer to write stuff you're sure you could come up with a 10k-worthy story for. This year, as always, a lot of great fic got written. Here are my faves!I received a great Reva-and-Ahsoka fic that I can't recommend highly enough.

A Mirialian collector has a Jedi Holocron stored safely in her vault, and rumours of its existence have reached multiple organizations.

When Reva and Ahsoka encounter each other at the vault door, they choose not to bring the holocron to either organization, but instead to listen to the Force and work together to learn what the holocron can teach them—and discover what they can learn from each other.

Summary:
It was some months after the events of an affair which have thus far not been set down on paper that the solitude and convalescence of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and myself was once again disrupted by the pressing needs of King and country. I say the solitude, but Holmes had welcomed me into his home in the idyllic Sussex countryside in order to facilitate my convalescence, a period of rest and recovery necessitated by an injury I received during the course of said unnamed escapade, the details of which I must forbear publicly enumerating, lest I incur the wrath of certain parties in the government. Sparing the particulars of how it came about, the end result of the prior events was a broken ankle and wrist on the part of myself, and a befouled temper on the part of Holmes.

“Holmes?” I called, uncertain if he had fallen or if he’d merely flung himself down enthusiastically to examine some oddity on the rug. “What are you doing?”
“Alas, Watson,” he said in a weak voice. “I fear I am fainting.”
