(Sorry, subject line comes from the fact that I'm watching the Christmas episode of Leverage - which is frigging AMAZING! I love Parker so damn much and she's especially cute this episode.)

Updates on fic: I'm through 2/3 of what I have written of "Roses Are Red." I'm psyched! I'm really glad to be working on it again. Even with lots of cutting ( Read more... )

Notes: Within the past month I have become thoroughly hooked on slashing Cho/Jane from The Mentalist. Absolutely love this pairing, pretty sure it's making my top five OTPs.
