Zugunruhe by Gloriana (G)
And so, here I am, about to hand over the keys to the sled Van over to next month's reccer.
Before I do that, though, I'd like to thank y'all for coming along as I drove us through the streets of Chicago, the Arctic and anywhere in between. Remember to leave a comment for the authors of the stories you've dug reading. Finally, you could always sign up to drive the dS Van too! :D!

Why this must be read:
Because this is simply one of the best stories to come out of last year's due South Seekrit Santa fic exchange. Additionally, it's a delightful combination of the whimsy from the canon with the more realistic limitations of what a turtle can and cannot do.
For this is the story about Turtle--from the time he had just stepped out of his egg all the way to RayK's apartment. That the fic is told from Turtle's POV should be incentive enough. You'd be hard-pressed to find a quirkier, funnier and happy tears-inducing Turtle fic out there.
Finally, there are all these wonderful illustrations that enhance the story in unexpected ways. It's a totally brilliant take on one of the most beloved characters in the fandom. Part fairy tale, it's a story worthy of many a re-read. ♥
Prologue
You may think that this is simply a black box, lying on a table.
But when you stand it up and open it, you will find that it is just a shell, and inside there is a glimpse of another world.
Welcome to Turtle's story, and Turtle's world.
