Get Your Sexy Name

Goodness.

Only just wading through my overflowing friends page. So thank you's to: iibnf, mabiana, ariadneelda, venturous, maddiec24, dacro, r_grayjoy, quiescent

for the well-wishes!

If I missed you, I probably haven't seen your post yet. I might not until much later, either, as I must get ready for a very rare night out with my beautiful spouse, who is going to take me somewhere (I don't know where) for my birthday. :D

*looking forward to it!*

How am I feeling? cheerful What's in Doc's record collection? Night & Day by Al B Sure

I went to the supermarket yesterday.  There were fairly long lines with the pre-Thanksgiving crowd and the cashiers were hauling whole turkeys over the scanners. 

 

I was very grateful not to be working in a supermarket anymore. 

 

In fact, the market was always open on Thanksgiving and I started working there in September of 2006 so this is going to be the first Thanksgiving since 2005 where I won’t have to go to work.

So.. I'm considering opening up a new game. It's been a long time since I've modded but when I was driving back to school last weekend I had what I thought was a brilliant idea for a premise... it would be AU and well... look for possible details in the future.

But I'm thinking... Werewolves vs. Order Vs. Death Eaters... yep. That's sort of what I've got.

1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

1. Eli Sunday (There Will Be Blood)
2. Rose Tyler (Dr. Who)
3. Claire Bennett (Heroes)
4. Gwen (Merlin)
5. Kozue (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
6. Tohma (Gravitation)
7. Major Henry West (28 Days Later)
8. Donny aka the Bear Jew (Inglourious Basterds)
9. Tara (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
10. Sansa Stark (A Song of Ice and Fire)

"Your grandmother?" Remus paled. "Severus - "

"I told you, she's learned her lesson." Severus awkwardly cast a muffliato. "She lost Mum and she nearly lost me. I know she's always supported pureblood policies, but it's different." He pulled Remus into another long, thorough kiss, oblivious to the gasps from the kitchen.

"I'm not ashamed any more, Remus. I'm not bitter. Growing up, even if only for a little while, with someone who was kind to me - "

"Has made all the difference." Remus rose, holding out his hand. "Shall we? I'll need to ask Andromeda to watch Teddy."

I'm very amused that DanRad's guest star bit on an episode of The Simpsons to be aired next year is an Edward Cullen parody.

Challenge: Written for snape100's prompt #308: The other family
Word Count: 100
Warnings: AU. The prompt was 'to imagine what might have happened if, at some point - probably before Severus started at Hogwarts, but possibly later - Tobias and Eileen Snape were no longer in the picture (for whatever reason) and Severus was taken in to be raised by another family.' This is what I hope would have happened.

Unlucky

Mo never thought of his ability to read people and things out of books as a talent or a power. To him it was a curse. A curse that had cost him his wife and made him a hunted man, forever running to stay one step ahead of Capricorn.

Dustfinger was, even more than Mo, the victim of this curse, trapped in a strange world, away from all familiar things. Mo would have given anything to put things right, to read the fire-eater back home but he couldn’t. He read aloud from Inkheart until his throat was raw and he was so exhausted the words danced on the page.

Nothing happened. Dustfinger was still there.

“Use your powers, Silvertongue,” Dustfinger pleaded. “Send me back where I belong.”

“I’ve tried,” Mo croaked in his ruined voice, then he broke down. He wept for his lost wife, for his motherless child, for Dustfinger, displaced from all he knew and loved because of Mo.

Dustfinger took Mo in his arms, gently stroking his dark hair.

“I thought you were a powerful sorcerer who’d done this to me,” Dustfinger finally said. “You’re not, are you? You’re just as lost and unlucky as I am.”

"We need to be alone," Remus whispered, glancing over his shoulder at Narcissa and Andromeda.

Severus gave him a tiny, utterly lewd smile. "I thought you'd never - "

Remus flushed. "Your grandmother needs to know what's happened before she finds out that you left the school without permission. Minerva is facing a final confirmation vote from the Board of Governors and you of all people should know how politically tricky that can be. If words gets out - "

"Hm. Gran isn't on the Board but I can see the problem." Severus looked thoughtful. "We need to visit her."

SQUEE! Snarry art for me!

Put my name down on the waiting list for AO3. Why the fuck not? I can decide later whether I actually want to use it or not. I'm number 319 on the list.

Got over 1700 words written today. I might try to do some more tonight after the kids go to bed. We're reading COS again, we're in the middle of the Dueling Club chapter. ;)

Must re-start my Kinky Xmas ASAP so naturally I'm going laundry.

*deep breath*
*opens Word*
Hmm, maybe I should refill my coffee cup before I start.
*gets coffee*
*looks at blank document*
I think the clothes are done. I'll go put them in the dryer. Should I start another load? Yes, lots to do.
*gathers dirty socks*
Maybe I'll have a little snack with my coffee before I get started writing.
*nibbles very slowly*
*looks at computer screen*
*winces*
Oh, I think I'll cross-post my last drabble to LJ, see if anyone reads it.
*posts*
Might as well look at my flist there too
*reads, gets distracted*
Better fold the clothes while they're warm so they don't get wrinkled.
*sorts socks and folds clothes*
*repeat until day is completely wasted*

Procrastination you are a fickle friend.
