Lit from within
Today has been a full and rather amazing day. It began with my second interview that felt quite positive. I don't want to hope too much but I could see myself at that school.
Then I had lunch with my parents at a restaurant in Ann Arbor that I've been wanting to try called The Raven's Club and it was just as nice as I'd hoped. I had this deceptively simple grilled cheese sandwich and a good beer as there was a little rain outside.
Then headed towards work, which has been quiet as I watched streaming and muted Opening Ceremonies and giggled at Twitter and crackchat's enthusiasm. I adore the Olympics, they always give me a fuzzy feeling and I love seeing all the ceremonies and how each country puts their stamp on them. I plan on watching all of it later with sound to fully experience it, but it looks like Great Britain went for all the silly, solemn and joyful spectacle. I think finding that right balance is what works for these ceremonies; never too serious.
I've also written a good bit of FridayFic tonight and want to post them before I lose track. I'm open for more until I finish work in the next two hours, but after that won't be that online as my parents are here. I'm also so happy because I have an idea for my
ineedmyfics's prompt and my
narniaexchange fic is safely turned in.

Charles, Raven, I love you just the way you are.
"I hate this. My eyes aren't right." "Raven, stop, please. I love you and you look perfect." "But Charles." "No buts, just you."
Sameth, forge work is a balm to the soul.
In the warmth of the forge, the world becomes malleable. Metal shifts to meld with the Charter as he creates what's never been.
For @BjornWylde
Erik/Charles - Nearer
A touch is a small thing but when Erik's hand rests for a moment on Charles' shoulder, he can feel the space between them shrink.
Charles/Raven-What You Want
"The world isn't neat and nice, Charles. It has teeth and you have to fight back." "I know its not. I just would rather be nice."
Demeter/Ben-Bocce
"And this is a game for fun?" "It's a game for spending long afternoons outside with glasses of wine and talking of nothing, Ben."
Hank/Jane-Culture
"What do you read?" "Um, reports and journals, I'm a scientist." "Then you know the hows of life and must read to learn the whys."
For @babyduckie484
moist meets another con
"A bridge in a desert. Has anyone actually bought that yet?" The other man almost dropped his hat as his smile grew strained.
William meets a my little pinky pie
William was kind of glad he had some warning of the ponies in Milliways, because their colors kept surprising him, so bright.
For @thisisyourfault
Charles - To be good, to be bad
Erik said he worried too much about being right, being good when what mattered was being true. Truth asks for a heavy price.
Moist - Don't con a conman
Moist kept his eyebrow raised as he listened to the salesman's spiel. It was pat and easy and he said, "No, but good try."
Tiwa (& Red Pollard?) - Teach me to sing
"I'm better with poetry, lady bird." "Singing's just poetry to music, come on. I know you'll do fine. Just enjoy yourself."
The PK - Sporting
"This is being sporting?" "Yes, we don't have all our sails set, they could escape." "Could be fairer." "Yes, but pirates."
