empressearwig?
lapiccolina? You guys around tonight?
Wanna do some Lisa Kleypas drabbles? Gen/whatever?
I'm kind of in the mood, and I've filled my Veronica/Billy quota for the night....anyone interested?
Of course this is open to everyone, but I don't know if anyone else knows who Lisa Kleypas is...I'm quite happy to give a full bibliography if you are curious!

One of the greatest pleasures Win discovered after she started to become a bit more healthy was French pastries. For three years now, her stomach had been so weak that her diet had been bland broths, toast, tea. What a pleasure it was to one day wake up and be so ravenously hungry- even better to know that the hunger came from her exertions on the exercise ladder, from long walks through the meadow.
When Leo came every other day, he always brought some delectable treat from the bakery in the village- mille-feuille, paine au chocolate, petit four. They would stroll through the meadows of lavendar, enjoying in each other’s company and recounting tales of their childhood. Father waking them up in the middle of the night to see shooting stars, Poppy and Beatrix getting into all sorts of mischief. Happy memories.
They never mentioned Laura, of course. Privately, Win wished they would speak of her. Laura was her best friend, too, she missed her too…So many childhood secrets, so many moments of innocent, girlish laughter had all died with her sweet, funny, loving friend. Win would never say this to Leo. She knew that her loss was nothing compared to his.
