The snow falls and covers my tracks
Hello! Happy New Year to everyone!
I originally sat here and attempted to somehow summarize the last year, but I can't. Too much happened. Some good, some bad. And it's hard to really state things. It'll all come out when I can talk about it I suppose. No point in forcing the matter.
BUT In good times, I have read a lot of good fic! Like, A LOT. I'm practically obese on it and now that school has started I can't imagine going back to a lean diet of "mayhap I will open LJ today..."

On the Couch by frayach
Summary:It’s a Mind Healer’s worse nightmare to lose a patient to suicide, but Mind Healer Nick Nichols can attest to the fact that a murder/suicide is even worse. If only Dr. Freud had come up with a sure cure for love. | Harry/Draco | NC-17
Why: Well deserving of the recs/praise. I really want some of my non-fandom friends to read this just because it's intense, but in a way that makes it hard to stop reading rather than

our first christmas by screamlet
Summary:Spock knows a lot about Christmas, but pretends he doesn't so Jim can teach him about the holiday. Jim finds out, and starts making things up. (Set at the end of the five-year mission. | Kirk/Spock, Leonard McCoy, Joanna McCoy
Why: The banter is just so ridiculously funny! Jim and Bones make up quite a few "Christmas traditions" in order to sort of mess with Spock and Joanna is a delight to read. I think characterizing kids well is hard and screamlet does a wonderful job with this fic!
Whenever I'm with you by dizilla and lauriegilbert
Summary:A broken down bus, a cocky waiter, and a condom factory. These are the factors that will equal Leonard McCoy's happiness. He just doesn't know it yet.| Kirk/McCOy | NC-17
Why: I just really enjoyed reading this story. It's nice and plotty. All the characters are developed well and the plot is just plain good!
I'll probably post an abbreviated recs page as I must go soon...

It's my last semester of college and I'm sort of freaking out. I feel old + the multitude of other stuff that comes with graduation. My parents have started on a New Lecture Series known as "Have you thought about...?" all well intentioned. I completely understand that the road to hell is paved with all good intentions and oh my... I am considering eloping with my sanity before it leaves...
For real. This is not to say that I have everything figured out, but I have a reasonably good grasp on what I would like to do. Granted, nothings set in stone, but... there is still some time.
Ugh, I've become maudlin. I would blame the weather, but I'm afraid it's just the time of life for it.
And because I like to end things positively, I have taken up typing again! Have a snippet of randomness from my hardrive. Hopefully this will see the light of day soon....
“Mom, I swear I’m fine. I’m just focusing on my career now.”
“If you are worried about baby-making, I can help you. There are plenty of books and one of my co-worker’s husbands it a--!”
“I’m fine! Really, the very epitome of virility.”
She made an indeterminate noise and started to peel an orange.
