So, I'm all packed, and my mother seems to think I'm making a mistake of epic proportions by bringing my laptop to London. She does not seem to have realised the extent of my addiction. No matter. LAPPI IS COMING WITH ME.

And to celebrate my leaving, which does not mean I'm going to be silent: have fic!

Brightest Flames
Remus/Severus. R. ~2,750 words. Warnings include: *mental illness, questionable consent/abuse, they-didn't-die-AU*
Years after the war Severus is found wandering the woods, his mental faculties shaken. Remus takes him in.


I seem to be writing rather large amounts of Snupin lately, don't I? Seems like I'm becoming a true 'shipper with many, many guilty pleasures after all. Huh.

I guess I should try to squeeze in some more writing before I leave... The RPS Monster Fic That Wouldn't Die (aka the summer-fling!AU) is at 20K and counting, and I'm expecting it to clock in at around... 32K or so, which would be four times as long as my longest fic to date. OMG WAH. Deadline for the final draft? August 20. Which is a month away. *swallows*

oh god

WHY DOES LIFE HATE ME SO???

I JUST LOST THE FREAKIN' 82 TABS I HAD OPEN ON MY FIREFOX. Yes, I know, probably my own fault for not bookmarking properly, but GOD WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN??? I DON'T EVEN FUCKING KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!

25 tabs of Supernatural and CW RPS fics I've been meaning to read. 25 tabs of Harry Potter fics. Another 30 from on-going fests - those are probably easy to retrieve.

STILL. WAH. Fucking shit. *wallows in self-pity*

As compensation for the cancellation of Sectus, I now own The Sims 2 Deluxe. What? That's money for money. Totally justified. *g*

There was fic earlier tonight:

Obey. Lucius/Regulus, R. ~1,500 words. Summary: No apology could have saved Regulus from his fate. Still, Lucius feels like he should be the one apologising. This fic has been a year in the coming; [info]luciusfqf was my incentive to finally polish it.

Hope y'all are enjoying your weekend!

i'm reaching out without a sound...

First day at the new job today - I'm very exhausted! I didn't have a lot to do, just some internet research that was mainly quite fruitless, some working in MS Excel, some walking through the house and finding my way, but still. New people, new situations and all that - it wasn't easy.

But! I will be allowed to work with HTML/PHP/CSS/what-have-you at one point! I'll just have to read some handbooks on the matter :D Writing the newsletter of the firm and optimising some work processes are also among my tasks.

I just looked at the harddrive of my laptop and realised that it is almost full - 129 GBs are filled, of which the most is episodes of Alias, Angel, Buffy and Heroes. And some music, of course. Meh. Now I will either have to buy some of the shows' seasons on DVD and delete them from my harddrive, or buy an external harddrive, both of which are tempting. I guess I'll buy something on DVD, though - I don't trust harddrives, I've had them crash too many times. Some scars never fade and all that. Hello, first pay cheque, and goodbye again.
