One year ends and another begins, and, with that changing of time periods on everyone's minds, we take stock of what we'd like to carry forward and what we'd like to leave behind.

What does that mean for an uncommon siren ship? Does that suggest letting go of a relationship long past its best days? Moving on from an inescapable ex? Starting a light and fluffy new chapter with a fresh face? Or finally leaving behind the past slights in siren lives that led here?

It could be any or all of the above, all that matters to fit the prompt is that the theme is drawing a line under what has been, and setting out on a new path for what will be next.

As ever, there will be:

No maximum word limit!

No minimum word limit, aside from fimfiction's thousand-word standard!

No rating restrictions!

No prizes!

No SunDagio!

No AriNata!

No SonPie!

No time limit! ...I mean, it'd be nice to get it done this month, but, given the above thing about no prizes, if it takes you longer then it takes you longer... However, if you get it submitted this month then we'll read it and talk about it and shower you with praise, whereas by next month we'll have moved onto a different area of focus.

And that's it!

Getting an early start on New Year's? Sounds like a good idea.

I figured half the site is already doing Jinglemas for Christmas, so there's no shortage of struggles to think of Hearth's Warming stories.
