Things in no particular order

A long time ago - srsly, maybe 2005? - someone, probably brooklinegirl, referred to the way that you just keep going back to a given fandom long after you thought you were over it as fannish malaria. At the time, my malaria fandom was The Sentinel, specifically kidfic. It was never good and I could never resist reading it when I ran across it. Now it's mostly

Oh man! They have those things on the side of some drano and half the time I think that if I could just get that part it would be fine!

And now I can worry less about destroying my condo's pipes with chemicals (where as in an apartment I give no shits).

That is especially hilarious/alarming because there is a LARGE PRINT WARNING on the back of the zip-it telling you not to use it right after drain-clearing chemicals because THE CHEMICALS WILL SPLASH ON YOUR FACE AND YOU WILL DIE.

we use the plastic snake BEFORE the chemicals because oh god, yes, that could be terrible.

And, uh, ohai story where the smart-mouthed fragile human is broken and needs the big bad monster to take care of him.

Oh man, that sounds amaaaaazing. But I don't think I can deal with a bleak, gut-punchy story in my life right now.

INORITE?

From my current WIP, in one of its more Modus Vivendi moments:

"Can I leave?"

Derek was lying right alongside Stiles's body, and Stiles felt more than saw him jerk at the question. He tilted his head, and then stood, backed away from Stiles and jerked his muzzle up a couple of times. Stand upStiles actually tried it, more out of stubborn determination to rise to Derek's challenge than any faith in his ability to do it. He reached up and grabbed the faucet with his good hand, and that helped him get to the point of sitting up against the wall. He managed to surge up onto his knees, which made his stomach heave and his head feel like it was going to split open, but fuck it, he could totally do this. He got a foot down, sort of--his ankle twisted a little and his foot slipped into the gutter, and he pushed up at the same time he was falling down, which just made him dizzier
