Erised and gardening woes

[blamebrampton]

The hd_erised poll is open! And I am failing at link insertion because my iPad hates me. It's here: http://hd-erised.livejournal.com/62396.html

I feel very confident of my one guess, though I've only read the first part of the story (too much to do!). I know one other, but no fair because I actually know it, and I read one other fic that has a familiar taste to it, but I couldn't place it (the first one posted, I think, where they are fake dating. Highly amusing!)

If you think you know which fic I wrote (and aren't one of the handful of people who know the answer), leave a guess here. First correct answer wins a prize! And I have no idea what that will be. Maybe an 'extra', or a postcard, or violet crumble. Right now I have no idea what I am having for breakfast and it's 11.37am. I have definitely used up my planning brain!

Looking forward to reveals because I REALLY want to talk about some of the process of writing that bugger. I have useful writing knowledge to impart.

And on an unrelated note, I had to bin my toughest gardening gloves yesterday. A thing you do in Australia that you don't do in saner countries is shake out shoes and feel glove fingers before putting them on. TWO fingers with random inclusions yesterday! Cockroach in one and spider in another. The cockroach was dead and not budging, and the spider was alive and gnashy. Since the gloves were not expensive and were aged, I wasn't going to argue over who won that one!

My second toughest gardening gloves and I had a rewarding afternoon pruning flowers and potting on tomatoes. Now for the herb repotting this afternoon before my promised week of rain!

Bother. I was hoping the comments would point me in the direction of your fic. I've been exhausted lately - too tired to trawl through 40 flics looking for yours (in the past I've been able to find yours easily by the summaries you write, as they are so distinctive, but I haven't spotted it the few times I've had a look). It's the only one I want to read and reveals aren't up yet. I'll have to pout for another 24 hours.

Between you and me, you should be able to guess from the header if you look at the pairings. (Also, obviously, not in the first half (by which I mean two thirds) of the fest.)

But you didn't hear that from me :-)

The pairings! Yes, if I'd only read them, I may have twigged. When I did look through, I almost read your fic because of the title - very appealing. I'm off on holiday for ten days now and am torn between glee at having a 70k fic of yours to read and horror that I'll have to do so on my phone. :-( if only my eyes were twenty years younger.
