Uncleftish Beholding! *laughs her little German-speaker chemist head off* This is excellent stuff (or greatstuff?), especially as some of the new element names are indeed the ones I use in my day-to-day language. Yep, German has the coalstuff and the chokestuff and the sourstuff firmly in place, though rendering uranium as ymirstuff and plutonium as helstuff is pure twisted genius.

Thank you for waking me up with a grin, and wishing you a wonderful weekend!

The bend in the river was just as Duncan remembered it, but a fire some seasons past had taken the trees, leaving the once-secluded cove in full sunlight, grass and scrub growing thick and verdant. The day was hot, the hottest yet this spring, presaging summer. Light dazzled on the water, shimmered on the white pebbles scattered on the sliver of muddy beach between the scrub and the river.

Still a bend in the river, still a deep place with fish in the cool depths, but no longer a refuge against the heat of summer, or the eyes of others.
