should have known right then it was too good to last
I posted a story yesterday:
The Wooly Soldier (@ AO3)
Captain America; Steve/Bucky; g; 1,330 words
Steve just wants to keep Bucky warm.
Written for
angelgazing, who was having a rough night, based on this art by
aredblush.
It's the first non-work-related thing I've written in weeks! It's also, like, the third time I've written a story about characters knitting, which would probably be more interesting if I knitted myself. But I am terrible at it. (I am also bad at crochet, embroidery, sewing, and needlepoint. The needley arts are not for me.)
Anyway, the inspirational art is adorable, the story is twee, but it made me happy, so. *hands* Also, I've been earwormed with "Moonlight Serenade" for weeks, which is why it gets mentioned in the story.
I realize that I have fallen down on the Wednesday reading meme, mostly because I'm still rereading my way through Discworld. I reread the first three Tiffany Aching books and god, she's the most awesome. ♥TIFFANY♥ I love her so much. I wish I'd had her as a kid, but I'm so glad she exists now, regardless. I've also reread Night Watch, The Truth, Going Postal and Making Money, all of which I enjoyed tremendously yet again. Now I'm into Thud, and enjoying that as well.
My one major complaint about these books is the way fat people are written about. Evil people are fat (though fat people aren't necessarily evil, there's a good chance they may be). Girls can be fat and not evil, but they're still going to be described mostly in terms of their fatness.
I don't think I noticed it previously, but it's really in-your-face when you read a lot of these books back-to-back.
I was too tired - and too interested in watching the Giants actually win for once - to watch How to Get Away with Murder, but it's on my DVR for weekend viewing, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to sleeping for as much of the weekend as humanly possible.
*yawns*
Is it time to go home yet?
