Fics like One Month Later

It has been a month since the Reindeer Games. Christmas Town was one elf and one reindeer short. For the first time in remembered history, inhabitants of Santa Claus' magic kingdom had decided they would rather take their chances with the outside world. Quietly, stubbornly, the elves returned to their work making toys, trying hard not to think about their former colleague who wanted to become a dentist. It's only been one month, yet they still have the rest of the year to get through, and the tension has already gotten unbearable. Hermey and Rudolph, accompanied by an eccentric prospector, live a life on the run from the abominable snow monster, snatching moments of rest and respite between long marches. It's not an ideal situation, but even so, it's leagues better than having to suffer through not fitting in. The future is uncertain, but the present has warmth and belonging. Dedicated to AO3 author 'pinwheelwhirl,' whose story "don't go 'round willy nilly" got me fixated on a dumb stop-motion TV special made sixty years ago and inspired me to channel that obsession into something productive.
