before going out of town for the weekend...
...one more Awesome Husband story, a little bit of me whining about my Pathetic Day today, and a preview of upcoming fic, if any of those are of interest! I shall be heading up the coast to visit family over the weekend, so, apologies if I don't answer any comments as promptly as usual!

2. I am so sorry!! That sounds like one of those days where absolutely nothing goes right! :( (I can sympathize with the early-wakeup-by-pets thing -- my 70 lb husky woke me up by jumping on my chest at 8 am two days ago.) I here the current CA heatwave is supposed to end this weekend though! *sends you positive thoughts and iced tea*
3. OMG JAMES!!!!!! I'm just going to sit here and wibble at the screen for a few minutes I think... and poor Michael, especially because he was enjoying himself while James was panicking and I bet he hates himself for that even though he obviously had NO idea... *hugs boys tightly* Please fix them? *puppy dog eyes*

2. *mm, iced tea* Yeah, it's just one of Those Days. I'm hoping that a mini-vacation will help, although I will then feel guilty about not writing things. But I will bring the books I'm supposed to be reviewing, in the hope that I can read one at some point. Also, wow, 70 pounds of husky is definitely an irrefutable wake-up call! (Is that the one in your icon? Adorable! So happy-looking!)
3. especially because he was enjoying himself while James was panicking and I bet he hates himself for that even though he obviously had NO idea... Exactly! That makes it so much worse: he feels like he should've known, even though he had no way to, and James was trying very bravely to stay ( ... )

James shut his eyes. One last escaping tear streaked a path over wet freckles, down to that chin, and fell off, vanishing into the night. “I don’t know."
Oh... OH. Oh James! I think my heart broke along with Michael's at this!! And Michael is being so wonderful, he's completely amazing in this!
(Btw, I saw that you posted new fic, and I WILL read and comment, but since it's about overprotectiveness I'm going to wait a bit due to some events IRL that have me about ready to spit fire.)

This one is really going to be ALL the hurt and all the comfort! I kind of feel bad for Michael, though. He's so scared for James--for them both, really. It's really the first time they've had something go this drastically wrong (probably overdue, actually, considering James's past) and it's terrifying, and he doesn't know how bad it is, and he's trying so hard to be a source of strength...Fortunately, James is also pretty impressively strong, and will accept the help. (And then they have all the sex, because that fixes things.) (Actually, in this case, because that's part of the issue, it kind of does ( ... )

Whining is aloud. At least I believe so. If we don't whine sometimes, then it ends up all pent up and leading to Bad ThingsTM. Or at least they sometimes do in my experience.
Oh, am intrigued by fic preview but will wait as patiently as possible for more. /sits on hands to keep from making grabby hands motions.

I hope it's allowed! At least here. I almost went back and edited it, just now, because it really is very whiny, but...I don't do that that much, right? And it really was just one of Those Days. :-/
Soon! Hopefully early next week. Monday or Tuesday, depending on how it behaves....

I have a couple of fics that I think are currently in the realm of not behaving. Maybe if I poke them with a stick they'll cooperate. Or throw them outside for a bit. Worked with my cat who was misbehaving.

I find that it helps to go work on something else, for a while, and then come back! Sometimes things sort themselves out when you're not looking. Though generally not cats. Those just cause more mischief. :-p

Gah, I know the pain of losing contacts! I remember a few years ago, I was trying to get one of the little buggers out and it was hurting so damn much, and I kept pulling and pushing and trying to nudge it around my eye -- only to realise it had already fallen out onto the floor and I was poking at my friggin' eyeball. Ouch.
Jaaaaaaaaames! D8 Excuse me while I go and sob into my pillow.

Oh, yay, Fun Contact Stories! ARGH. One time I had mine fold itself in half under my eyelid! Such pain! And yet they're somehow still worth it...
...yes, sorry. *hands over tissues instead of longsuffering pillow* I promise to fix them! With cuddling! Plus there will be sex! (And then, well, considering where this one falls in that series, I'll break them MORE, and then fix them again...) But, yeah, poor James. And also Michael. Being the strong one--when you're that scared--is so hard. :-/
Reply
OMG James! And poor Michael! *cuddles them forever* I can't wait to read the rest!

Probably tomorrow, I think, for fic? I am back at home, but...catching up on ALL THE THINGS, today. Poor James, yes, though. He needs lots of hugs. And so does terrified Michael, actually! *cuddles them and you* *also promises of porn, because that's how we make things better*

And whining is totally justified when you have one of those days, when the world has clearly decided to just make everything as irritating as possible. Those days are almst worse sometimes than when something goes horrifically, drastically wrong, because it's just a bunch of little things that shouldn't really be that much of a problem, but somehow are...
Also, this fic extract is giving me ALL THE FEELINGS. They've never been this fragile, and it's awful...
But enjoy your weekend anyway, and I hope it's cooler where you're going! :)

Exactly! You totally understand! :-p None of the things were calamitous or anything, just...so many little annoying incidents. And then you feel even worse about being irritated, because individually they're not big things, but... *sigh* The friend who moved away was one of my few fandom-y real-life friends, too. Not that we don't have other friends around, but they will not understand the excitement or ( ... )

To be honest, that sounds like a pretty good mindset for him to have, from your point of view! :)

It just makes you feel like the Irritating Thing Gnomes are out to get you, and you get the point where you're just going "Can't one tiny thing just go RIGHT today????" (Am not having quite that many irritations at the moment, but there are a couple of things that my life would be significantly less annoying without right now!).
Not that we don't have other friends around, but they will not understand the excitement or the vocabulary in the same way ( ... )

Those Irritating Thing Gnomes sometimes just have it out for us, I imagine. No motive other than sheer malignancy; but they all work together, and coordinate, so they can strike on the same day. Hopefully yours go back to behaving themselves, soon, though!
That does sound like a good week! I think that geeking out, unabashedly, from time to time, is probably good for the soul. (Trying to entice one of my other friends into XMFC fandom...she's a total SF/fantasy nerd, and she actually already likes James [she's the one who talked me into watching The Last Station, and I'm so very glad] but she's never really gotten into fandom properly...but I am persistent...)
I politely move that the beginning of the Continuation couldn't be that much worse! Could it? *bites nails*Well...I suppose, more accurately: we will learn one or two things to make us hate That Person more? So it's even worse when James ( ... )
