When She's Merry

The mix of holiday spirit and sci-fi elements felt seamless and fun. I'm curious what inspired the idea to set this story during Christmas.

The holiday setting added a cozy vibe, but I wondered if it also heightened the stakes emotionally for the characters. What was others' take?

The pacing was spot-on for a quick holiday read, but I wonder if the story was originally planned as a longer work or if this length was deliberate for the season.
