What the hell, Sunday?
Jan. 14th, 2013 01:36 amAbout 16 hours ago, I had SO MUCH SUNDAY ahead of me. I was going to fix a frock, go to a do with my mum's family, have a friend and her children stop by to visit their cat before they leave it here for a year while they are in the UK, finish a hat for another friend who is off to the UK next week, finish a story for someone fab, and write recs.
I did the family thing, which was less dreadful than expected, finished the hat, had the cat visit, then joined that lot and many more for dinner, which we missed the train home from, so walked to the highway for the bus, whereupon we found a very skinny lonely cat who may or may not be abandoned and had to pat it a lot and will be riding back over there tomorrow night to feed it and see if there are humans actually living in its house, then did a spot of Doom Editing and tried to make the visiting cat feel a bit better about life -- at least she has come out of the corner and is currently sitting on the sofa -- and now I am late to bed again.
Proper recs will follow tomorrow (I hope) but if you still have a Sunday ahead of you, I think that Fearless is a very good use of your time: 35,000 words of a Harry who only feels alive when he is skirting danger close to death, and a Draco who is determined to face all his fears. Lovely mix of drama and lightness in this one! Also, Coffee, Cakes and Doorknob Snakes, about 40,000 words of Harry's house trying to kill him and cursebreaker Draco trying to stop it. Old school romance and delight, with some utterly breathtaking moments, and the women are BRILLIANT. And if you read it, come back and tell me if you think I am losing my mind or quite reasonable when I suggest that the end had something in common with Peter Jackson's Return of the King.
And finally, HAPPY BIRTHDAY![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snottygrrl! We will one day be in the same country at the same time! I hope you have a magnificent day with the present fairies losing their minds and the universe gifting you wildly! May it be even better than Richard Armitage and Viggo Mortensen on a chocolate fish-bearing unicorn!!
