That's it, we've made it to the end of the road, the last month of 2025, and our final CSR feature of this year! Seeing as it's December, the holidays, and yadda yadda... I couldn't pass up finding a story that was themed, of course. Did you read this small gem last year? If not, don't miss it now! 

Darkest Days (The Wild Hunt)

by @Jack Poignet

Length: 10,399

Description: It's cold up here in the mountains. Elias mourns his lover, but in these darkest of days between the years, strange things ride on the wind and the old tales come alive.

A reader said: This captivating story of love and loss weaves a thrilling tale! The author masterfully blends elements of folklore, fantasy, romance, and action. The world-building is rich and immersive, transporting readers to a realm where magic and myth intertwine. The characters (assuming the wild hunt is a character itself) are complex and compelling, Elias' struggles resonate with the reader. I really loved it! ~ rafy
