How I'm spending my February
So, this happened >.>
The Whispers of Dreams (15398 words) by Keiko Kirin
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Poe Dameron/Finn
Characters: Finn (Star Wars), Poe Dameron, BB-8
Additional Tags: Post-Movie(s), Hurt/Comfort, Adventure, Kissing, Huddling For Warmth, stormtrooper flashbacks
Summary:
Set after the movie. Finn's recovery is interrupted by an attack on the Resistance base, sending him and Poe on the run. When their escape goes wrong and strands them on a planet, only their trust in each other will save them. But Finn's past keeps coming back to haunt him.
I have no excuses for myself other than, gosh, I ♥ Finn and Poe. (And Rey! Rey is ♥ ♥ forever.)
Edit: So, the summary I came up with sounds like a very different story -- one I'd like to read -- than what the story actually is. Summaries are SO.HARD. But I'll keep this one for now, because I don't have another one handy. Maybe if I wrote the story the summary describes, its summary would suit this story. Unlikely to happen, alas.
I realize I never updated about my kitty Jack. In December, two masses were removed by a veterinary surgeon. One was cancerous, the same cancer that prompted the removal of his toe two years ago. It's an aggressive cancer, highly unusual that it took two years to come back, and it's presenting in Jack extremely unusually (showing up in/spreading to places the oncologist had never heard it spreading to). The oncologist recommended six months of chemotherapy (IV done at the surgery, with weekly blood tests to monitor reactions) followed up with chemo pills administered at home for an indefinite time. It was a very difficult and emotional decision, and if Jack were younger I may have decided differently, but I decided not to pursue the chemotherapy. Even the oncologist admitted, there's no telling what would happen because Jack's case is so abnormal. When it came down to it, I want him to be comfortable and happy for however long he has left. And he wouldn't be comfortable and happy going through treatment.
Many tears shed since then, but it's been over a month since we got the news and he's recovered from his surgeries (except for the fur growing back slowly) and is back to his normal adorable self. And believe me, I will appreciate every single day he's like this from now on.
Currently watching (but not fannish about):
Agent Carter
American Crime (second season - I missed the first, but the second has sucked me in)
Madam Secretary
London Spy
Elementary
Mercy Street
Chicago Med
Grimm (despite the current season kind of doing almost everything to break up with me)
Angie Tribeca
just started Longmire season 4
Mulling why it's so hard for me to get fannish about TV right now. It could be, weirdly, because they're all so good. I'm far more invested in seeing what the shows do next than imagining my own versions.
