(no subject)
The last few days have gone by in such a blur! I can't remember all the things I wanted to post about. Although actually that's pretty much par for the course, hahaha. :/
1
UPS sent me a notification that I had outstanding COD fees for the empty box (LOLOL ONLY ME I SWEAR) so I called them on Monday and fixed that shit up. Stupid customs!
2
Started re-reading Temeraire book 1 yesterday and oh, my heart, I do love it so. :) I keep realizing that I'm grinning like an idiot on the bus, at my desk, standing at the corner...but no one has stared at me funny (that I have noticed, yet), at least?
I ♥ Granby x 1 million!

Little Brother called me to squee about the preview for the new Beatles videogame that he saw on his Xbox:
LB: I HAVE TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING!
Me: Like, on the computer?
LB: IT'S SO AMAZING!
Me: Okay, let me just -
LB: FIRST I LAUGHED, AND THEN I CRIED, AND THEN I LAUGHED SOME MORE, AND THEN I WATCHED IT SEVEN TIMES!
Me: *laughing* Oh god, you're starting to sound like me! 'I saw Star Trek twice on opening weekend and I have plans to see it in IMAX and -'
LB: IT IS SO AWESOME. SO AWESOME. IT'S ON MY XBOX! YOU NEED TO COME OVER!!
Me: Did you really cry?
LB: Yeah, it was so amazing, I was laughing with joy so hard that I teared up. HAHAHA.
Me: XD
LB: Paul and Ringo were at the E3 conference to unveil it, and I told (friend) that if I had been there I would have been all "Paul! Hey Paul! Over here Paul! It's me! Paul! Paul!"
Me: ...like a stalker?
LB: YEP.
Yes, my brother, the Beatles fanboy. :)

"Okay, so I am giving you fair warning here, the next time you say one word about how I deserved it, or how sorry you are, or for that matter just spend your interview time going off on how awesome I am, I am going to be so totally overcome with love for you that I am going to have to kiss you." Kris stopped talking with his mouth open. The reporter paused.
:DD If the world was a fair place, this would be a true story.

Guh, for all that it's a relatively tame encounter, it's so very hot. And awesome. And the author has James down pat:
"I'm not delicate, just say no." The serious expression tilts into something amused, and James shakes his head. "I was actually going to say it's a little unprofessional." His head tilts ever so slightly, as if to check no one has followed them down the steps.
Can't you just picture him doing that? :D

LOOK AT THAT PAIRING. LOOK AT IT. NOW READ THIS FIC. (beware the warning though!)
All True-Hearted Souls

Temeraire; Granby/Laurence
He had seen Laurence choke on smoke and reel back with a dagger in his flesh, had caught Laurence in his arms and wrapped his fingers around that same blade and pulled it out. It was his duty to keep Laurence safe, and if duty and inclination happened to meet here, then so be it.
This fic is just amazing. I've read it a hundred times and I still can't manage to describe it, I get all tongue-tied. Granby POV, simply too awesome for words. Major spoilers for the books. ♥
