I've just read this beyond-adorable news story, and I agree with [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_tsuki -- this is the perfect set-up for a romantic comedy. And now I desperately want someone to write this, in whichever fandom inspires. :D

God, I'm so tired, even though all I've done today has been edits. Goddamn you, cold. D: On the plus side, both the Sherlockmas and the [livejournal.com profile] dream_holiday assignments are done and ready to go! \0/ \0/ On the not-so-plus side, it is taking me ages to get through reading over the Coffee Shop AU so we can pass it over to our wonderfully obliging beta, because I keep getting distracted by Steve/Bucky kitty fic, which, BEST EVER DISTRACTION. BEST. EVER. And also listening to this song, which is making me want to write PINING BOYS IN LOVE, and more specifically the Steve/Peggy/Bucky strand of the Love, Actually AU, because MY GOD, THE FEELS. <3




SO. WONDERFUL. :')

And also there is Avengers Christmas fic that I am itching to read, and then I got sidetracked while picking out a title for my Sherlockmas fic from a bunch of quotes on writing that are making me all warm inside with love for my craft, and.

What I'm saying is, I just want to lie back on the sofa and read/watch soppy love stories for the rest of the night. *sigh* If you have any of those in mind, do please throw them my way. <3

MY COPY OF SNUFF ARRIVED THIS MORNING. PLEASE EXCUSE ME FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO FOLLOW SAM TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. <3<3<3

Incidentally, another fresh arrival is Cake Days, from the hummingbird bakery. MORE ON THAT LATER. :D

*happy sigh* Another wonderful day. Woke up at 11.55am, had an excessively lazy morning, went to get pastries and coffee for breakfast, made heartseyes at all the fabulous stuff on my flist, and generally am so calm, happy, and content that I could purr. Haven't had a chance to work on anything (largely because relaxation is hitting me like a brick -- spent two hours yesterday on a swing-bench with my eyes half-closed, face tilted to the sun, listening to music and just breathing. Been a hell of a while since I could do that. Then we went for a walk through a few small, narrow streets filled with little restaurants and coffee shops and bookshops and galleries and crafts shops and it was bliss). Hopefully I'll have some time soon to devote to happy boys in love. ♥

Going to my gran's this afternoon (in 3 hours), so if you need me for anything, poke me now. Otherwise I am downloading all the things I need to look at (no internet there, I have got to fix that soon) and I shall give them all due attention (when I can. I've no idea how this will go).

Meanwhile you are all wonderful and I <3 you. I leave you with this; I encourage you to go and play! It's a brilliant idea, and I shall be taking part as much as I can, too. Go go go, have all the fun! ♥



Spread a little warmth and happiness this weekend!


And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll carry on blissing out. <3

I am sitting in a delicious soup place in Sofia, having had a large bowl of broccoly and cheese soup, typing away on my laptop. It's pissing it down outside, I have to leave in half an hour, but for now?

I think I'm in heaven.

I haven't been about much, I know, I'm sure I'm missing all sorts of EPIC SHIT going on, esp re: H50 2.01, which, JFC WHAT THE BLOODY HELL. I keep making up scenarios to make Jenna the good guy. D: I'm pretty bummed about that one. Still, the break is doing wonders for me. I finished the cop!Erik AU (43K. WHAT. THE. BLOODY. FUCK. ERIK YOU HAVE TO STOP HIJACKING MY BRAIN, PLEASE AND THANK YOU), and I am making progress on the h50_exchange -- I'm about 2/3 done, and so far I am really, really loving what I've come up with. Tomorrow my aim is to finish it, and depending on time availability, start editing the cop!Erik one (fuck is it going to need it), and do a bit of betaing for a fantastic story that you guys will be reading soon (when it's time for the h50 bang, which is coming ever closer! :D). I am so privileged and thrilled to have access to it now! :D

Knowing that I have nowhere to be (for at least another 15 mins), knowing I have tomorrow completely at my disposal, barring dinner with one of my lovely aunts in the evening; having a place to come and go from with my friend's blessing -- it's what I've so desperately been needing. Today is just blissful, rain and all; first time I've worn one of my thick jumpers this year, and a cardie, too. It's cold, but not too cold; wet but not unbearable. Seriously, I am loving the fuck out of it. And to top it off, I spent a wonderful, too-short hour and a half chatting with [livejournal.com profile] stardust_made about life, fandom, Sherlock & John, and everything and anything. It was so completely marvellous; I could not have spent today in a better, more delightful manner. I feel content in a way that I have not in far, far too long, considering this is how I used to feel most days when I was living in Oxford. My decision to pack it all up and move, tabula-rasa-style (as Stardust said), is crystalising and settling with every minute. I'm more than ready for that change; more to the point, I need it desperately. Today has just proven the point.

Anyway. I hope you guys are having a lovely, lovely Wednesday! Kisses to everyone! <3<3<3

GUESS WHO HAS TEH INTERNETS!!! Apparently they installed a wireless router last month! \0/ I AM JOY. I won't be around much, BUT this gives me untold amounts of gleeeee that I won't miss the next chapter of Carpe Brewski when it posts sometime today (or so Jizzy promised). So: A WORLD OF YES, basically! :D

I will be checking my email every day, though, so you can find me there if you need me! AND it's looking like I'll be able to post the last chapter of Hand in hand before the end of ! Good news by the truckload! :D

Anyway, this is the part where I make all you guys have a close encounter with the green-eyed monster. THIS IS WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW.

Down by the sea )

Right! I'm off down to the beach again! ♥

All you guys in the path of Hurricane Irene, stay safe!

OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, I AM INCOHERENT WITH GLEE AND HAPPINESS, HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE MOST UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS THING, OH MY OVARIES, THEY YEARN FOR THE JOY OF THIS MAN'S VOICE FOREVER IN MY EAR!!

I have the hugest obsession with John Keats' poetry. I studied it in Sixth form, and I delight in his art; he speaks to something inside me with every syllable he penned. He is my favourite English poet, hands down. I tend to recite 'To Autumn' to myself only about a thousand times every September and October.

AND HERE IS OUR DEAREST BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, HIM OF THE VOICE RESEMBLING 'A JAGUAR IN A CELLO*', READING 'Ode to a Nightingale'. I AM IN HEAVEN. HEAVEN, I TELL YOU. KEATS' WORDS IN BC'S VOICE... *swoons*

I will happily fade away to this sound, forever, until the end of things. Do yourself a favour, listen to this. I cannot tell you the joy I feel, just listening to him shape those words, the delight that fills me with every sound; it's almost erotic. Scratch that -- it's better than sex; it's intellectual and aural stimulation the likes of which I have never encountered before to quite this extent. It's been a long, long time since I've felt this content to simply be.

Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death
