Finished! And we survived. Uploading the save to the file depot now, hopefully without trouble, here's the final write up and screenshots:
-----
1st Opal, Mid Winter
A new mayor was elected. We are still trying to clean up, but he thinks its important to tell us all to not export any shields. I just don't understand what happens when these people get elected. We may never know...
I've given some orders to try and clear the traps out front, and finish building them. The goblins won't leave us alone forever, and those traps are our only hope at this point.
Along with the continued tomb project, I've given orders to slaughter most of the random animals running about. Leaving a couple set of camels, and a few of the caged animals from down below. There are also two caged goblins, but I have no plans whatsoever to do anything with them at this point.
7th opal
Noticed today that Kumil, one of our stonecrafters had blacked out while dragging a coffin. Upon asking I was assured he was fine. But after seeing him cough up blood before returning to work, I am worried. And having him black out constantly is going to be a pain. I've taken off his hauling work, and left him only to care for the wounded. Maybe he will take the hint.
14th Opal
A baby boy was born to one of the peasants. Let's hope this one has a better future than many of the others who have already died.
26th Opal
Today is a happy day! All the dwarves who have died over the past year, have been given a proper tomb. We even have some extras built, and I will let the masons create some extras in case more die. Now if we only had someplace to put all the assorted socks and gloves scattered in the hallways.
3rd Obsidian
Things have calmed down considerably, most of us are working on keeping the injured healed, and trying to get the trap defenses in working order. I worry about Mebzuth though, she's the only dwarf still tantruming, and I can't really blame her, she's been stuck in that bed for months now, and I don't really know how to help her other than hope she will cheer up when her wounds finally heal.
1st Granite
I didn't know if I would make it. But it seems we have survived until spring. The tombs are filled and the remains of our comrades have been laid to rest at least temporarily until a more impressive resting area can be built.
Our stockpiles are full of goblin junk, old clothing, too many furniture and other assorted junk, but with priorities as they are, I would warn my successor against making more bins or sorting the junk just yet. The goblins will return, I have no doubt of that, let us hope that the traps are finished by then, and we can hide inside.
My only other concern is the justice system for the fort. While we have survived, the law states that all of us who tantrumed need be punished for it. There is no way to get around this, eventually it will have to be done. I just hope whomever does it, realizes that almost every dwarf who survived this year, managed to gain nearly lethal punishments just trying to stay sane. Perhaps if we manage to survive and a hammerer journeys to our fortress, perhaps then it will be time to accept what has happened, and give over to the next generations.
For now, I step down from town manager, hopefully I can stick to farming and cooking and brewing. And no longer have to worry about death, miasma or goblins...

Visual extras:
Haika's suite, The only thing that kept him alive I think.
The farm area:
The noble quarters, at least the first couple, the other two are similar across the hallway to the north. They were started right as the chaos happened, and got totally ignored after they were dug out. People after me could use them for a sorted stockpile or just clear out the stone and continue on as extreme suites. The smallest rooms were to be the tombs, with the largest as throne rooms for greeting just inside the door. Then the other two as bedrooms and dining rooms.
And the final status:
32 dwarfs, probably at least 15 are on rest status in beds. Be very careful about overworking your dwarfs, right now Kumil the lung patient is the only dedicated healer(bring water, bring food) and more could die. There are also still some unhappy dwarves around. Whatever stabilibily I've managed to latch onto is very fragile.
