This is a steampunk lesbian spiritualist paleontologist novella, and I feel like it almost doesn't matter what I have to say about after that, you already know whether or not you want to read it.

But, further to that: the story is about a woman, hired for her robotic-mechanic skills, caught up in some Cope/Marsh (Yuletide's weirdest fandom?) type shenanigans, who learns, via her spiritualist religious practices, that the dinosaurs want to tell her something. Also, there is smooches.

This was a wonderful story with steampunk elements, dinosaur, a f/f pairing, and I'm pretty sure the protagonist is #ownvoices autistic. And you can read it for free on the Giganotosaurus website.
