We're gonna run out of cake at this rate

1) The Charles/Erik Daycare Verse. I LOVE THIS SO VERY MUCH. It's so fluffy and delightful and domestic and MY FAVOURITE THING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, especially since I've just now read two installments I didn't know about (--because they got posted while I slept! \0/). Check it out, you guys! If it doesn't make you grin stupidly and want to smish them, I will write you a fluff-infested drabble of your own choosing. :D Starts here, part two here, continues here, another snippet here. I've been assured there's moar coming!! \0/

2) A KOALA BEING TICKLED. ajghaghhdg /cuddles/



3) 6 Music played Placebo's 36 degrees and The Cure's Inbetween Days! :D /dances/ OH OH AND PORTISHEAD!! \0/ \0/ \0/ I ♥ 6 MUSIC SO MUCH.

4) The Bakery AU of Doom!!

BAKERY AU PROGRESS BAR

39230 / 40000

This one is definitely going to go over 40K -- how much over is anyone's guess! :D BUT we are getting closer to the end! \0/ SO MUCH FUN IS BEING HAD.

5) All my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet seems to be quite popular! :D I've been getting some super amazing feedback, which is very gratifyng, as it was one of my favourite stories to write, and I enjoyed the heck out of it! :D It's great to see that people love it, too! \0/ \0/ \0/

6) Going to see HPDH2 tonight! Wheeeee!! :D I shall attempt to bond with my mother. Oh god. But my sister and my dad are away, so it's that or going alone and having her sulk at me for not asking her to go. It's a lose-lose situation. At least once the film has started I shall be able to stop paying attention to her! I anticipate embarrassing amounts of tears, however. >.>

7) I think it's pretty obvious that I've started taking magnesium supplements again. They make me very awake, and feeling pretty happy with my lot. It's terrible, the first half-hour after I wake up in the morning, when the doze has completely worn off and I'm back to feeling there's no point to anything and when will all this be over already, but once I've had a shower and my daily pill I'm back to feeling pretty damn good and happy to be entertained. Who knew, right? The humble magnesium, saving the world one dork at a time! :D

8) Got my nails filed allll the way down yesterday when I went for a manicure, and now my typing is back to stellar! \0/ \0/ \0/

9) You guys! ♥ ♥ ♥ /smishessss/


I've run out of drive a little on the fic front. No doubt something is going to slam into me soon enough and demand to be written, but until it does I shall be taking it easy, I think.

Question: should I start posting the Pride&Prejudice Charles/Erik AU? I've only got a third back from Zarah, who's performing marvellous beta duties for me on this one. But it's 26K, so it's going to have to be broken down into three posts anyway. The only question is do I wait to get all of it back, or do I post it as and when I get it? Inquiring minds want to know!

Tell me happy-making things, peeps! ♥

Oh god, the heat, it is unbearable already. There's code yellow and orange for the country, I've barely been able to sleep, and even the thinnest cotton dress is too damn much. Ugh, I'm terribly irritable, but that might be because I'm still on my first cup of coffee as much as the heat. Baby Nicky is naked but for a nappy and he's still like a little stove, he's so warm. I HATE SUMMER. Or, more accurately, I hate summer when it's THIS FUCKING HOT. The forecast is 36 C in the shade. D:

Anyway. Progress has been made!! Hand in hand is the only way to land, part two has been posted, with no less than three gorgeous pieces of art! :D SO CUTE, OH MY GOD. <333 I have SO MANY HEARTS for this story that I've had to borrow from zombies.

The Pride & Prejudice Charles/Erik thing is DONE!! :DDD Does anyone fancy giving it a second (third) look? zarah5 has already been over it once, and I've re-read and edited it, too, so it should be pretty solid, but another pair of eyes never hurts! If anyone would be so kind as to volunteer, that would be amazing. <3

We're making really good progress on the Bakery AU, too! :D Yesterday's wordcount is as follows:

BAKERY AU PROGRESS BAR

16604 / 40000

I imagine that we'll hit 20K at least today! \0/ I'm diving straight in once I've posted this! Moar writing today! :D Yesterday was wonderfully productive, and I hope today will be also! :D Although one of my cousins and his wife are passing through town, so I shall have to be social for lunch. DNW. :/

Oh god, gave myself a plot bunny the other day, WHY BRAIN WHY must you torture me so??? Basically, it went like this. andrealyn asked me what Arthur/Eames AU I wanted to read most, and I got to thinking, because as you all know, AUs are kind of my thing. BUT THEN. My brain decided it might be a good idea to work, which, no. BRAIN, IT IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO WORK. D: And so this happened:

>>Oh, oh, here's one! Tennis player AU! :D Arthur is the star American player at Wimbledon, and Eames is the British player that acts like a slob and like he doesn't care, but really he's incredibly driven and trains like 8 hours a day. And there shall be prejudice and misunderstandings and EPIC SMOOCHY LOVE. <333 Can't imagine why I haven't thought of it before! *gleeface*<<

BRAIN, NO LOVE. D: Because now I may have to actually write it. Oh Jesus. DDD:

BAKERY AU PROGRESS BAR

I AM LOVING THIS STORY SO MUCH ALREADY. <333


As for the X-men Pride & Prejudice beast with three heads -- 13,000 words and just over half-way done.

...OH DEAR. *facepalm*
