While Valentine's is a holiday that I largely ignore (save for maybe buying discounted chocolate on the 15th), I ended up participating in a small fic exchange for the holiday this year. And let me tell you, that is a very nice way to celebrate the holiday.

The fic was done through the Steter Network's discord group, so it's Teen Wolf with Stiles/Peter as the pairing. I'll post the link below.

Other than writing, life is mostly quiet for me at the moment. I'm working from home and having groceries and such delivered because I figure it's better safe than sorry when one has a truly shitty immune system. I am incredibly thankful to have Discord and my various fandom groups as well as Dreamwidth since my online communities have been keeping me from feeling too isolated and alone.

Without further ado here is the story I wrote for the delightful Bunnywest (and if you like Teen Wolf, you should check out her fics as they are amazing).

Belated Imbolc/Lughnasa blessings all. This week has been busy at work and a bit draining on my spoon level, so I've mostly been quiet. I did however write a new poem on Monday, which a lovely Imbolc feel to it.

So I leave it here for you to read, and wish you all warmth, light, and love.

Winter Cocoon

Powdery snow dances on the wind across the frozen lake;
the world cocooned in layers of white.
And I enjoy my own winter cocoon, layers of warmth
wrapped around me, some providing warmth of a different kind-
Care and love woven in with each knit or purl stitch.

The air is sharp, but the sun glorious against my skin.
Soon the sap will be flowing, drops of gold plinking into buckets;
the days lengthening even more and the earth stirring, awakening.

But for now, there is beauty to enjoy in this winter scene—
the crunch of snow underfoot, the frozen paintings of ice on morning windows,
the music made by skipping rocks across lake ice,
the flash of red as Cardinals dart through trees.

I burrow into my woven cocoon and know that soon,
soon I will be able to shed these layers--
stretch my arms like wings in a warm summer breeze,
curl toes in soft green grass and bite into sweet, sweet strawberries.

Spring will come, soon followed by summer.
Until then, I am cocooned in warmth and wrapped in love.

And for those following my ongoing work in progess, "Hanging On (You're All that's Left to Hold On To)" I managed an update on that last weekend as well, and it can be found here.

Hope everyone is hanging in there and doing as well as can be in this chaotic dumspter fire of a world. Love to you all.

Current Mood: accomplished

Sorry I've been quiet for a while. November and December are often very difficult months for me mental health wise and this year has not bucked that trend. But I'm hanging in there and hope you are all doing well.

I hope that all my pagan friends are having a lovely Solstice today. Blessed Yule/Litha to you all! I'm very happy that our days will be getting longer again.

In fandom news, I was very happy to participate in the Steter Secret Santa this year. I wrote a short fic and created the banner to go with it. So without further ado, I give you so much Christmas fluff:

So I got hit by a wild plot bunny last Sunday when I saw the Full Moon Ficlet prompt of the week. Thankfully one doesn't have to have a tumblr to participate, as I nuked mine years ago since I find tumblr to be overwhelming at best. I still visit some occasionally for good gif sets, but that's about it.

Anyway, my wild plot bunny resulted in a short fluff piece:

I've also signed up for the Every Fandom Reverse Bang, and I'll try to remember to let folks know when that goes live (posting will be in January of next year).

Outside of writing, I'm living a pretty quiet life right now. Like others, I'm struggling with the death of RBG, as it makes the world feel even bleaker than it had. But like Stiles in my story, I'm hanging on. It's important to find hope and joy where we can, even when the world feels like there is so very little left in store. Hugs and love to everyone. Somehow we'll get through this, my friends. <3 <3 <3

I'm mostly okay, just quiet at the moment. My attention span has been shit this year, which has been making writing and even reading a bit difficult at times. But I'm trying to be kind to myself about not getting as much done as I would like.

I've been rediscovering my love of hidden object adventure games. I like the ones where the hidden object and puzzle games are part of a larger point and click adventure game. Unlike some of my older point and click adventure games, the hidden object ones are great for quick play through (though I still love the other ones, especially when I want to immerse myself in exploring a virtual world).

Now to get another cup of coffee and figure out what I want to do today. Probably just have a quiet day puttering online and around the house. Sometimes those are the best.

Hope everyone is as well as they can be. Much love to you all. <3

I'm around but kind of hermiting right now. The past couple of weeks were a bit difficult, so I've mostly just been chilling when I can.

Last Sunday would have been my dad's 68th birthday, and it hit me a bit hard this year. I have really felt his absence this year. I would have loved to hear his humorous take on the shit show that this year has been. Although I would have also worried constantly about him and his job as it involved going into big box stores to fix car audio and home theater displays and involved a hell of a lot of travel. But mostly I have really found myself missing his voice.

There was also some stuff that happened on one of my alumni groups that left me exhausted and stirred up some bad memories and issues. So that was fun. ( TW: Mentions of suicide and transphobia )

I'm slowly started to feel on a more even keel (or at least as even a keel as anyone can be right now). But this is why I've been mostly quiet. Just haven't had the spoons for words.

Current Mood: blah
Current Music: Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (Live) - Sara Bareilles

My new laptop arrived this afternoon. I've spent much of the evening getting it set up to my satisfaction. :D

It's funny how odd it can be to adjust to a different sized laptop keyboard, but it won't take long before I'm super comfortable with this one. And it's so nice to have a keyboard where all the keys work. :D I hadn't realized how much I use the arrow keys until they stopped working.

We thankfully had a break in the heat (a major break, today's high was in the 50s), which was nice. I'm mostly relieved that while it was cool the rain held off just long enough for me to enjoy a socially distant picnic with my sister and nephew who had to come up to get his stuff from the dorm. They had a three hour window to grab things this afternoon, and we managed to sneak in a short visit and lunch just before that.

I'm not someone who's super huggy or cuddly with everyone in real life (though I'm very fond of virtual hugs and affection), but with those I consider family and close friends I am and it was so weird not to be able to hug these two. But we managed even without that. :D

There was much talk of She-ra and how I need to catch up so they can gush about fic ideas and such without having to worry about spoilers. I'm only a few episodes into Season 4, so I do have a bit of catch up to do.

Hope everyone else is doing as okay as they can be right now in our crazy world. If you've got some extra money that you can spare, I encourage you to donate to Black Lives Matter, Minnesota Freedom Fund, or one of the other organizations on the ground working to affect positive change. Dylan O'Brien has shared a nice list of solid charities in this thread. Much love to you all. <3

Current Music: "In the Wind" by Lord Huron

Life has been fairly quiet. I've been working from home and pretty much getting everything delivered, which is weird but probably wise for now.

I did have my first outing in months this past Sunday. My heart-parents invited me down (they live about an hour away) for an outdoor socially distant cook-out with just the three of us. They've been isolated as well and we all took precautions to make it as safe a gathering as possible. It was lovely to see them both (and to pet Waffle, their adorable and sweet little dog). It was really hard not to be able to hug them, but I am super glad I went and got to hang out for a few hours. The weather was perfect (just the right temp and the bugs weren't too bad yet), and the clear mountain air was divine.

In less fun news, my primary laptop died completely on Sunday. Refused to acknowledge it had an operating system installed. I did a clean install, but I've been having a lot of trouble with it lately so decided to bite the bullet and look at getting a new laptop. One of my heart-sisters had a good recommendation for a laptop that would suit my needs at a reasonable price (she just recently had to buy one to work from home as all she had was a Chromebook). My new laptop should be arriving next Sunday. In the meantime I have my even older laptop (that I also had to do a clean install on to keep running), which I have been using mostly for watching stuff since the keyboard is jankey and some of the keys don't work at all (thankfully the letter keys work, even if they are sticky and cranky sometimes). I can't complain though, the laptop that died was in heavy use for seven years and this one is 10 years old. So I've definitely gotten my mileage out of both of them.

It is going to be ridiculously hot for Vermont for the next couple of days (91 degrees for the high today and 93 tomorrow), so I won't be moving from in front of my fan much. I am contemplating a window unit a/c, but we don't usually get too many days of that level of heat. So I may just wait and see and if we turn out to have an abnormally hot summer then I probably will buy one.

Otherwise, life is quiet. I am finally starting to actually feel better, and fingers crossed that will continue to improve. I haven't gotten much writing done lately and want to get back to finishing my current Teen Wolf work in progress fic.

Mostly I've watched way too many true crime/creepy story videos on youtube and played a lot of games on my phone. 😂

Current Mood: lazy

So I recently participated in my first fic exchange (at least my first one in well over a decade and a half), and had a very good time doing so.

I received an utterly fantastic slice of life story (with some lovely smut) from CinnamonLily, completely based on a flippant comment in my prompts where I was listing preferred pairings and stated that you could throw Stiles, Peter, Derek, and Chris together in a foursome and I'd be thrilled.

CinnamonLily took that and ran, and this lovely story was the result:

Summary:
Sometimes the best things start as a joke.
The four of them might be an unlikely relationship from an outsider's point of view, but on the inside, they're the perfect unit. Each one of them has something unique to give to the relationship, and when Stiles comes home upset and needs a distraction, the others provide him everything he needs.

My giftee was the wonderful Jackclaw, who mentioned a love of magic!Stiles, worldbuilding, and angst so long as it has a happy ending in their prompts. I sneakily bounced around a couple of different ideas I had in a discord server we share with hopes they'd chime in and ran with the idea they liked the most. :D

It's still a work in progress, but the first chapter is posted and I'm well into writing the second chapter.

The title will be changed slightly when I update, because it should have been "Hanging On (You're All That's Left To Hold On To" (taken from Red Hill Mining Town by U2), but I mistyped it when I posted it.

The Icon Meme, via

sulien

1. Comment to this entry saying 'Today we're cancelling the apocalypse' (or whatever, no requisite for any specific verbiage) and I will pick 3 of your icons/userpics.

2. Make an entry in your own journal (or just reply if you prefer) and talk about the icons I picked.

sulien picked these 3:

This is probably one of the very first icons I found when I went hunting for icons/user pics after I set up my account and I fell in love with it instantly. I'm very much a homebody and my happiest place is curled up with a good story and a favorite beverage and snack. If I were a dragon I'd probably hoard stories. Lol. With the cozy an content feel of this, it just resonated so strongly with me. Sadly I have never been able to identify who created this particular icon.

This is another one whose source is unknown. I grew up as a fan of Star Trek, both the original series and later series. I aboslutely fell head over heals with the first reboot movie and adored Simon Pegg's portrayal of Scotty (who had been one of my favorite characters as a child). I also grew up as a fan of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, first learning about it from the BBC miniseries when it was shown on pbs and then later reading the books myself. Finding an icon that hilariously combined two childhood favorites was just pure kismet. :D

This is one I actually made myself for a cause that is near and dear to my heart. In the summer of 2011, I was finally diagnosed with late stage lyme disease at the age of 31. I suspect that I got it when I was seven as I remember having a weird rash and flu like symptoms and before that is the last time I remember feeling healthy. Every year after that my health continued to decline. But back in the 80s in Louisiana they thought Lyme was limited to New England (despite how migratory people and animals--and thus ticks--are), since we'd never been to New England it was treated as a spider bite and I was sent on my way. I think that Lyme and all it's related and similar tick-bourne illnesses are incredibly misunderstood and complex and wanted to raise awareness of it because early treatment can make a huge difference in someone's life.

My local library has issued a book spine poetry contest asking patrons to use the titles of books they have in their house to create a poem in honor of National Poetry Month.

This was a fun and interesting challenge, and perhaps a little harder than I expected since there is an extreme lack of verbs in most of my book titles (or if they exist as part of a title then it is harder to work that into a coherent poem). But after looking at my shelves for a bit I was able to come up with something, and here is the result of my endeavors.

Teeth are fixed! Whew. They did suggest that I consider getting new plates sooner rather than later (my current set is 8 years old and this is the second major repair to the lower plates and I've had some other minor repairs done to both plates). So I will consider it. But for now these will continue to suffice.

I was able to stock up on supplies while I was out, and am now safely back at home having showered and changed into clean clothes after wiping down groceries and putting them away.

The store wasn't as busy as the last time I had to go out, so that was nice. And everyone maintained a decent distance from each other. The other blessing was that I managed to get home before the heavy rain started.

So all in all, not a bad day so far. Love to everyone. <3

Current Mood: sleepy

Monday morning was my usual routine. Got up, set up work laptop so I could be ready to start at 8:30. Put the coffee on, got my bagel ready for breakfast. Settle down with coffee and breakfast. Take a bite of bagel, and hear "snap."

One of those sounds you never want to hear when it comes to dentures and teeth. After I unfroze from horrified surprise, I was able to determine that my lower plate had pretty much snapped clean in two.

I immediately called my dental office, and I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get them repaired. They should be fixable as it is a clean break. But dang that was money I would have liked not to spend.

I am incredibly thankful though that it was my bottom plates as those are easier to do without, and that with dentures at least when shit like this happens it almost never causes physical pain. So that's a blessing. I was also incredibly thankful that they could get me in this week.

So tomorrow morning I will oust myself from the house, with face covering and gloves handy. Go to the dentist, and then stop at the store and top up my supplies as the store is right next to the dentists office. So it makes sense to do it all in what is essentially one trip. Then hopefully I can hole back up at my house for several weeks without having to leave except to take the garbage out and grab the mail.

Other than this dental misadventure, things have been mostly okay. I've pretty much over whatever cold/flu bug I had, and the sinus infection that followed it. I have restarted the tetracyline for lyme treatment and that has me a bit tired right now, but it's getting better. Work is mostly okay and fairly quiet. I am slowly working on a story for a fic exchange. I will have at least the first chapter (short chapter, but a chapter) done by Sunday when the fics are due. I hope to have the second chapter finished as well, but we will see.

Anyway, I hope everyone else is hanging in there and doing as well as can be in these strange and trying times. Much love to you all.

Current Mood: okay

I'm not doing very well mentally right now, though I am trying to take care of myself. And one of the ways I can possibly help is by speaking out loud about what my brain and anxiety is doing so others can help me confirm that the brain weasels are indeed lying liars who lie.

I woke up on Wednesday with a headache and a bit of a stuffy head. Hoping it was just stress and allergies, I let folks at work know I was going to lay back down for a bit and that I would likely be late to work. My headache was better when I got up, so I went into work. Then I starting dealing with a sore throat and slight cough. By the end of the day I was feeling pretty crummy. We decided I'd work from home the rest of the week, unless I felt I wasn't up to even that. I stopped by the store to pick up a few things, feeling guilty for being out when I wasn't feeling well but knowing that I needed to get things cause I was likely to be cooped up for a while. I had previously stocked up on some things, but I was out of my usual fruit and out of meat.

I've done my best to minimize my time of facebook and such for my own mental health. And I've been relying on discord to feel more connected and less isolated, which does help.

But of course, I can't avoid all the memes that are going around (and some are very entertaining). However, a lot of the "people are stupid and panicking over nothing" memes aren't helping my mental health. I know that they aren't necessarily directed at me, but it's making my brain weasels act up something fierce. Especially since many of my observable symptoms are mild. I'm not hacking up a lung, my nose isn't dripping like a leaky faucet, I'm not running a fever by medical standards (ignoring that my normal body temp is well below the average so 98 degrees is probably a fever for me). So all I can hear is my mother's voice telling me that I'm not really sick, I'm just being lazy or looking for attention. I keep trying to tell myself that if I were truly lazy I would not have worked (albeit from home) Thursday and Friday, but brain weasels can be very loud and insistent buggers.

So I am doing what I often struggle to do, which is to actual say aloud that I am struggling. If you are also struggling, please know that you are not alone in that. I hope that everyone is taking care of themselves as best they can in this crazy world. <3 <3 <3

Current Mood: crappy

I'm rather proud of myself, there was a social event hosted by a local nerd/weirdling group yesterday evening, and for once I did not talk myself out of going. I came very close to talking myself out of going, but made it out despite my anxiety starting to spike. And once I got there and settled in, I had a lovely time and my anxiety slowly faded. I ended up staying for several hours.

The nice thing is that it was a "Dark Arts and Crafts" night (hosted by a local horror/weird things group), so it was a fairly low key event. I took a sketch pad and coloring book and my markers, pencils and charcoal. I found that I have nearly forgotten how to draw, and so ended up with some more abstract doodles rather than anything else. But it was still fun.

The other nice thing was that it was held in the community space at my favorite local occult shop, and the store was still open (they usually close at six, but decided to stay open through the event). So I treated myself to a small lovely blue stone (apatite) and the Everyday Witch Oracle cards set I'd been eyeing for some time.

Today I hope to work on my fic for the Steter Network fic exchange. I have the idea somewhat sketched out, just have to start writing. :D

Hope others are having a lovely weekend. <3 <3 <3

While winter is pretty much guaranteed to last longer here in Vermont, Imbolc is still a wonderful day. We've reached the point where the days are noticeably longer than they were and the return of the light is a glorious thing. And may all those who celebrate have a Blessed Imbolc (or Lammas for my friends in the Southern hemisphere).

Since Imbolc is often the start (or near the start) of sugaring season (when the Maple trees are tapped and the collected sap boiled down into syrup), it seems fitting to write a poem about that. :D For those interested the form is an etheree, which is a very fun short form to work with.

Sugar Light

Strike
a match
to candle,
to stove. Lengthened
days still short, still cold.
But soon the sap will run,
liquid amber drips into pails;
boiled down, bottled liquid gold.
A sweet reminder of sun and warmth.
Sugar on snow means Spring's awakening.

Was chatting with

amejisuto about writing poetry earlier and realized it's been...apparently five years since I've written any.

I'm definitely going to need to change that. :D I had planned to write something short tonight, but only got home about half an hour ago. I ended up going out to dinner with my nephew, then taking him and myself to get groceries (we decided it was best to do it tonight and avoid the Superbowl shoppers tomorrow/Saturday). So I will have to work on new poems later.

However, I have also gotten back into writing fanfic, which is super exciting. The last thing I posted fanfic wise was about a decade ago (and that poor wip is likely to go unfinished sadly). But towards the end of 2019 I got invited to join a fandom friend's pre-reader discord server, and then I joined the Steter Network discord server. And I find myself writing again (they are wonderful enablers).

I wrote a short fic for my dear friend

green for Christmas, and I forgot to share it here. It was very much inspired by this rather incestuous feeling Folgers ad and thus could be considered a problematic pairing. So no worries about skipping if that's not to your taste (or if Teen Wolf isn't your fandom).

My Christmas was a bit of a mixed bag. I was able to go down and visit my heart family for the week, which was really nice. But I also broke up with my girlfriend. Well, she broke up with me, but I think she was right that we weren't quite clicking romantically. We've decided to stay friends, which is good because she is a lovely person and I'd be sad to not have her in my life anymore. So it's sad, but such is the way of life I guess.

I'm sad that it didn't work out, but am glad that we tried and that we are still friends.

I am home again after my travels to Virginia, and tired and achy from the long drive. Though I did break it into two days, each day was still more than 5 hours in the car. I'm glad I've got tomorrow to recover a bit more.
