The open-pairing tw_holidays 2013 Fest collection went live anonymously all at once on Ao3 at the beginning of the month and the authors were just revealed today.

I've actually never followed an exchange fest like this: where the fics aren't released over the course of a few weeks, but all introduced at once. It was a different experience picking through all 60 works and slowly working my way through the ones that caught my eye. To be honest, it felt a little overwhelming, especially since I am following so many different fests this year, and it seemed like like, as a result, I didn't end up reading as many of the fics as I would have if they were posted slowly. But I don't know if that is actually true, or just a weird perception.

Anyway, I digress. The point is, a few of my favorite Stiles/Derek fics from the fest are below, but you should check out the Ao3 collection, because there are a whole lot more fics to look through!
