NovaChild, you really mustn't encourage me, else soon I'll be offering to heat up people's sausages, and it'll all go down hill from there. Or at least something will go down. Hill. Er.
I think I need an intervention. I appear to be trapped in a
Carry On
movie...
Is it a uniquely British trick to be apologetically bawdy?
I don't know, but it's uniquely appealing from Brits as opposed to schmuckish when I do it.
I'm quite fond of your bawdiness, Erika. Never fails to make me grin. But then, no big surprise there, hm?
You are *such* a bad influence on me. Oh, well, you know, "Sex is never gratuitous." Right?
Fay, I just printed out 50 pages of "Invisible to See."
I hope it doesn't disappoint, or I may have to take back those porny comments.
...
Just kidding. I'd never do that.
ETA: 20 pages in, it's kind of kicking ass.
ETAA: Fuck. 50 pages in, I'm addicted. Damn it. I'm not going to sleep because of you, you fantastic British fic seductress lady. (of COURSE I mean porn.)
ETAAA: I'm low on black ink, now. You foul temptress. Hmmph. Back to bed, with 62 more pages in hand!
Heh. I
love
it when a pair of hot fictional characters plan comes together.
A drabble, finally, for Erika: post-Oz, pre-Tara. 100 words exactly, excluding title.
Discovery
The dorms echo, loud, unsettling, filled with jocks who remind her
of high school and worse. His apartment soothes, tranquil, tweedy,
tea and biscuits and room on his couch to sprawl with a book, to
let her mind sink into confident studiousness without the couples
smooching and talking about saccharine trivia. With Oz gone, no
more smoochies for her. But here, in the silence of his kindly
British reserve, it doesn't matter.
Until he starts playing that damned guitar, and the schoolgirl crush
becomes a too-familiar throbbing, an emptiness she knows how to
fill now, no longer innocent but hungry.
Finished it. Am more convinced than ever that someday Fay and I will live happily ever after, and I will support her so that she can do nothing but write fic for me all the time.
She'd have to write some more Hermione/Ginny, though. I crave more femslash in my life.
Karl, that's a very nice drabble. I like.
