there's a humming in the restless summer air / and we're slipping off the course that we've prepared
Not splitting between personal and fandom posts right now because I don't want to spam all of you with two very short posts. I am currently sitting in the children's section of the library I have my visits with my son at because all the adult computers are being used where the two of us can sit next to each other. I feel kind of special because they're making an exception for me. But I don't care that my son is eleven years old. I'm not letting him sit by himself.
It has been a fairly good day. We spent a lot of time on the computer today, but we also did a little grocery shopping (OMG the chocolate crunch energy version of Honey Bunches Of Oats is SO GOOD...that's my new work snack to get me through my nine hours shifts and three hour commute home) and Trace showed me his new game. I can't watch the roller coaster with the view where it's like you're actually on the ride because my kid is a devious track designer and the loops and stuff make me ill. I don't think I will ever attempt any roller coaster that makes me go upside down now. Ever. We also played a couple rounds of Hangman and my son trounced me. I got one of my mom's words in two letters though.
During the time I have been online I have updated my WIP that's part of my new series with two new chapters, and my son has convinced me to put him in one of my fanfics. As soon as I finish that one I'm going to start the one with Trace in it. There will be Sherlock and an 11-year-old with hyperactivity problems and Pokemon, and it shall be glorious. Which is why I'm setting it in the new AU because I think most of my other Sherlocks would hate him within twenty minutes, except the "Anything Can Happen" and "A Little Holmes" Sherlocks because they're fathers/expectant fathers at this point. They'd simply look at it as a preview of what's coming up in a few years. But I will make sure the kidlet reads it and see if the he approves. So yes. I can't wait to write that. I just need to finish this "A Study In Pink" rewrite first. In case any of you are interested, by the way, here's the two newest chapters:
The More Things Change… (2 - 3/?) | Sherlock - PG | Sherlock Holmes/Molly Hooper, Mrs. Hudson, John Watson, Greg Lestrade, Sally Donovan and Phillip Anderson in these chapters | Part 5 of my "A Different Path" series | Sherlock's life has taken a few turns for the better since he went back to his old life, and it looks as though things will keep improving as certain truths come to light between him and Molly and he makes another new friend. But Moriarty's reach is long and whoever is carrying out his plans isn't about to let him forget about the story Moriarty wants him to star in.
