we fall but our souls are flying
Thank you to everyone who sent lovely birthday wishes. I really appreciate it. ♥
And thanks so much to the folks who wrote me stories!
♥ Blood Sugar Sex Magik, by innie_darling, is a fantastic look at how Kalinda came to be the cool character we know and love on the show. (The Good Wife, Kalinda, pg)
♥ Growing Season, by
dotfic, is an adorably bantery Tony/Pepper story, in which Tony keeps bringing Pepper fruit until he gets it right. (Iron Man, Tony/Pepper, pg)
♥ We all got in tune, by
gloss, is a deliciously sweet and hot Wendy/Lacey/Noser threesome story. (Middleman, Wendy/Lacey/Noser, adult)
♥ Five Things Peter Remembered (In)correctly, by smilebackwards, is a sharp, achy look at the discrepancies young!Peter must have experienced after he got better. I wish the show would address this a little more. (Fringe, Peter, g)
♥♥♥
My bosses gave me a vermilion plant, which is allegedly low-maintenance enough that even a noted plant-killer like me should be able to keep it alive. We'll see.
fleurdeleo and I went to T Bar Steak & Lounge for dinner, where the prix fixe was $35 and I had a great dinner of filet mignon and chocolate mousse. I had two glasses of wine and it went right to my head, so I went home and climbed into bed, unable to keep my eyes open. I was in bed by 9 on my 40th birthday. I don't even know. *hands*
I also posted a story yesterday, my birthday mathom for all y'all:
Put No Trust in the Morrow
Supernatural; Sam/Dean; pg; spoilers through 5.07; 2,285 words
Seize the day; put no trust in the morrow.
Of course, once again, A Softer World is down when I post a story inspired by one of their comics, so you can't see that it said something like (and I paraphrase) "We did everything wrong, but the world didn't end. It would have been easier if it had." Clearly, it was about Sam and Dean. *snerk*
If that doesn't blow your skirt up, here's a list of the stories I've posted on (or around) previous birthdays:
2004:
Thieves Like Us
Harry Potter; Remus/Sirius; adult; 595 words
I do not love you, except because I love you
2005:
The Most Gorgeously Stupid Thing
Harry Potter; James/Lily/Remus/Sirius; adult; 5,286 words
James and Sirius share everything.
2006:
The Likes of Which You Ain't Ever Seen
Firefly; Mal, Kaylee, ensemble; pg; 2,872 words
In which Jayne is in jail, Mal puts his foot in his mouth, and Kaylee and River ride to the rescue.
2007:
The Love There That's Sleeping
Harry Potter; Sirius/Remus; pg-13; 4,460 words
Remus looked like he had a secret, and Sirius desperately wanted to know.
2008:
The Stormy Present
Supernatural/Battlestar Galactica; Dean/Kara; adult; 7,620 words
Kara's a pilot, and Dean hates flying.
2009:
These two lanes will take us anywhere
Supernatural; Sam and Dean; pg; 750 words
The night's busted open / these two lanes will take us anywhere
All in all, it was a good day. I spoke to my brother and my sister, got texts from two of my nieces, and slept for a full ten hours at the end of it all. *snerk* On Sunday, we're having family dinner and cake, which will also be good. (And I have to remember to buy Dom a present.)
