Summary:
F'nor leaned back against Canth, watching Brekke and Wirenth in a moment of unguarded love between them. Ever since the near-tragedy at High Reaches, there had been a fragility to dragon and rider alike, yet F'nor could see the healing.
He and Canth had beseeched Ramoth to allow Wirenth to be here despite her known antipathy for more than two junior queens, and the matriarch had insisted of course her daughter should return.
Soon, he would need to focus on F'lar's need to tackle the Red Star. For now, he and his brown had a duty to Wirenth and Brekke.

Summary:
Drizzt had set the basket of food and jug of cider on the table, then gone back to his room to clean up, thinking he had plenty of time.
He came back to find Alustriel already dividing the portions onto plates, the cider poured (and likely warmed by her spells).
"I thought it was my day to treat us with our lunch? And you are early."
"My last appointment sent her regrets, and why should I not help? You hunted it, in a fashion, and this is me preparing it."
He kissed her, smiling in the kiss.
"You spoil me."

Nov. 18th, 2025 09:08 amkantayraSo, yes, it sure is November out there, yes-siree! I continue to have way less energy than I want to, especially for skating, which is unfortunate, because I have two exhibitions and a competition coming up, and I have to learn two new programs. So, um, yay?
I'm getting less written than I'd like, too, but that's okay because I totally planned for this and didn't overload myself with assignments during The Dreary Months. Nevertheless, I got some shit done. Here's what's what this week:
Goals for next week: 1) Pick up and finish writing 1 thing. 2) Make some progress on YT & FFFX. 3) Finish watching the current secret thing! 4) Read more of the other secret thing! 5) Read more Wakenhurst. 6) Read other stuff, time permitting.

fffx, ficinabox part deux, yuletide_admin + mystery pinch-hits and treats + future sign-ups): I'm now at 4/6, so I got more stuff done there, as I'd hoped. I didn't do any work on YT, but I did figure out what I'm doing for FFFX and even got the first scene written! My goals for this week are to pick up and finish at least 1 thing, and then make more progress on both YT and FFFX. - Gifts! Both cuppajoexhange and seasonofdrabbles are currently in their anon period, so here's a bunch of cool stuff I got:
- Realizations and Bite Marks - BNHA, Bakugo/Deku for cuppajoexhange.
- make a fine shrine in me - Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan for Guardian - priest, lovely fic with shrine-fucking, for cuppajoexhange!
- What's Wrong - Ciel/Sebastian drabble series for seasonofdrabbles.
- Goals - Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan being horny again, this time in drabble form for seasonofdrabbles!
- Fleeting Light - Cool drabble from the House's perspective for Piranesi! I requested a bunch of long-shot 'weird house' prompts this time in honor of Halloween and am blown away by this!
- twilight - Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan being very
restrained and respectable...just kidding! Horny as hell in their new house! :P Also forseasonofdrabbles. - The Living Woods - Creepy original haunted forest drabble for seasonofdrabbles! So cool, my 'haunted prompts' strategy reaped such great rewards! :D
- Realizations and Bite Marks - BNHA, Bakugo/Deku for
- Exchanges that will go into 2026: au5k & highadrenalineexchange. AU5K is actually in nominations now! I should go throw some names in the ring.
- Nope, nothing new on Femslash Salad Bar...
- Watching-wise, I'm now watching a new, different thing that I cannot disclose for impending anon reasons, but I will explain after reveals. Hoping to finish this week.
- Dear Door - I continue to work my way slowly through the fun, low-stakes porn when I have the time. Which I don't too much for the next couple of weeks, because holy moly, here are all the books I'm reading...
- Nicked by M.T. Anderson - Finished this, and yeah, the writing was not to my tastes. Except for that one fantastic joke about "invading the sanctum sanctorum", which is a hilarious euphemism for having sex with a monk, and now I'm sad that I can never use it because I have at least two pairings that it's extremely applicable to, and I'm also writing this down because I am in such great danger of forgetting that I heard this joke from a book and accidentally putting it in one of my fics in the future, because it really does sound like the sort of nerdy Latin nonsense that would originate in my brain. So, kudos to you, author, for coming up with a joke I wish I had!
- Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke - Holy crap, this is 2000 pages! 😱 I mean, don't get me wrong: that's a good thing! And I've started it, and so far the writing style is pretty zippy. But I have soooo much to read right now. I wish I'd known beforehand, because I definitely would've paused this one until one of my holidays when I have more time. Which, I suppose, is essentially what I'm doing: I'm focusing on other things, and I'm hoping to read the bulk of this book over Thanksgiving.
- The big thing I'm reading right now is something I cannot reveal for anon reasons, but is a lot of fun, and I will talk about it when the anon-silence period is over! It is also very long, though, and is taking up a bunch of my time.
- Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver - I picked this up, and because it's the only physical book I have at the moment, I think I'll actually get it done before JS&MN, since I can fit in a chapter here and there whenever I'm stuck waiting in a place without wifi. So far it's good! I'm not quite sure if 'enjoying it' is the right phrase given how absolutely horrifying Maud's religiously abusive father is, but it's quite gripping, and I imagine I will enjoy it a lot when he dies (hopefully quite horribly)! This is a relatively short book, so I might get it done this week, but I'm not betting on it.
- BNHA: Enough of the S8 episodes have aired now that, next time I get a lull in my watching schedule, I'm going to start marathoning this. I'm also keeping the movies/OVAs on reserve as my back-up treat, so nothing new to report here, yet.
Goals for next week: 1) Pick up and finish writing 1 thing. 2) Make some progress on YT & FFFX. 3) Finish watching the current secret thing! 4) Read more of the other secret thing! 5) Read more Wakenhurst. 6) Read other stuff, time permitting.

Summary:
The silence on the bridge spoke volumes to the terror they had Known. Pellaeon questioning orders had everyone running the roster, trying to determine how close to the danger they would move when the Grand Moff Admiral eliminated the officer.
"It is good that you question," were not words any of them expected. "There are intelligence points that are kept solely within my planning agenda," Thrawn continued. "I ask, Captain, that you trust in my grasp on these matters, given my survival and track record?"
Everyone relaxed slightly when Pellaeon agreed, wondering when Thrawn would kill him out of sight.

Summary:
A cloud of dust comes down on Darry when he pulls the cord that lowers the ladder to the attic crawl space. He spends the next few minutes blindly hanging onto a rung as he coughs until his lungs rattle and blinks the grime out of his watering eyes.
“Jesus H. Christ,” he hisses, even though there’s no one in the house to hear his complaint.
『Or, Darry goes through some old boxes.』
