I don't know maybe YOU wrote 1,000 words of AU Bran/Lucy fic over your lunch hour.

I am overdue for a RL update but! I am too weary for the necessary self-reflection. Weary because I wrote belated holiday TR fic!

First, for tempusfrangit, who should totally think of this as a slightly delayed Secret Santa gift. Future TR fic! Cat is totally the child that makes Robb's hair go all gray and silverfox. :b

( An Adventure, or, An Unexpected RescueCollapse )

And! For ashkitty, a fic set in our very ridiculous AU that I refuse to apologize for. :b Kivrin and Reynald spend a winter's night together.

For this year's Yuletide (which is the first I've participated in since...2007 maybe? Like five years ago. So good to be back), I wrote just one story:

When You're Busy Making Other Plans Pitch Perfect, Beca/Jesse for abvj.

This is set five years post-graduation when the two of them, both successful in their careers in LA, run into each other at a party. Things develop from there, and there are sexy times, texts from Fat Amy, and adorably ridiculous romantic gestures.

I was all set to write The Mindy Project instead, but found myself writing this instead. It was always going to be Beca/Jesse but they turned out way cuter and sweeter than I anticipated. I liked it, the recipient liked it. Yay, Yuletide :D

And I received the most amazing story in return:

Wordless Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle by CG (NYC Scribbler)

It's the most beautiful character study of Calvin O'Keefe, the kind of story that delves into canon and makes it so much richer in the process. BEAUTIFUL. If you ever liked A Wrinkle in Time as a kid, you'll like this fic. It makes me want to app him all over again but play him even better.

Meanwhile, I am in England and having a wonderful time. More about that and maybe a SOTP later.

Greetings, Santa!

Dear: power-cord for the laptop's headphones:

Moving day is on Friday. You better crawl out of your hole by then, because you're in this room somewhere. It's not a very big room. I will find you, and my wrath will be merciless.

Purposely,
Your Owner.

So I'm about fifty pages into House of Leaves and just got to a part that has...a lot of nonsense in it. Or, I'm sure it makes sense somehow, but has the appearance of nonsense.

Only like four hundred pages to go!

I really enjoy looking at people's answers to this meme- though I have to wonder what my choices say about my bizarre personality.

* Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.

* NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.

* They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.

* You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.

I tell you what, there is no apocalypse in Columbus, Ohio, today and that is all I am going to say on the subject.
