I'm really here to say this, so I'll say it first:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
asta77! I hope you have a day free of work stress and full of Jamie Bamber goodness. :)
I stayed up way too late last night vidding, but you have to ride the joyous wave while you can. I've got, all told, about 1:30 of a 3:00 vid filled in. Which is good because I need to finish this so I can clear off harddrive space and start my next vid. I'm going to try to achieve Vid Factory in the next few months with VividCon deadlines coming up.
My garage door completely breaking (I was trapped! Trapped! hee) did not, fortunately, stop me from hanging out briefly with
gwyn_r yesterday, which was fun and reminds me, as always, I want to be more social locally.
I'll leave you with a fic rec:
In Character by
joandarck. Fraser/Kowalski, rated R, written for the role-playing kink at
stop_drop_porn. It is fantastic: hot, funny, dead-on with the character voices, and manages to have a little Fraser/Thatcher UST while still being very much F/K.
"Now, I have moved through the opening portion of Inspector Thatcher's day, as nearly as I can reconstruct it, and when you walked in, Ray, I was just about to begin the morning's reprimand."
"Oh, yeah? Who's she reprimanding?"
"Me." Fraser stood and turned, giving Ray a look at his profile. He looked good, like always. Even frowning like that. Fraser cleared his throat and lifted his chin, talking to the air. "Constable Fraser, I really see no need for you to spend quite so much time... engaging in conversation, with unofficial visitors to the Consulate. You have your duties."
Ray cracked up, not really loud, so as not to hurt Fraser's feelings, but kind of wheezing to himself. It wasn't that Fraser was doing a girl voice exactly, but it was still higher and prissier, and it did have a certain Thatcher something.
Also, they're talking about
"The Ladies Man" over at
ds_reruns this week!
Does it feel like Friday to anyone else? Because it really, really does to me.
