► Another day, another entry! This time, I want to share the stories that I personally wrote for White Dwarf Rabbit Hole and Press_Start, because… just because, really.

oh darling )

► So, I said that I’d do a link-dump this post, but now that I’m actually here, I… have no idea how I should start. I need to organize everything somehow, but there’s just so much, and just, agh. I think I just need to dive in.

► Let’s start with recipes! I had a craving for tomato soup the other day, despite it usually not being my thing, and so tried out this recipe for dinner. It...technically tasted good, and my family liked it fine— I might even make it again— but it wasn’t the flavour I was looking for.

Looking up recipes for that did lead me to other soups / autumn-y dishes that I’d like to try out, though! Here’s some of the ones that intrigued me:
cut for length )

As for things I’ve actually made: I made these pumpkin muffins (though I threw in some banana chips in the mix) and these apple scones (though in the interest of using up our garden’s produce, I turned them into zucchini-apple scones) recently, and both were absolutely delicious.

Oh! And I made this watermelon sangria for the American Independence Day, and it was also very, very good. I loved how straightforward the recipe was, and the lack of added sugar.

► A few other food-related links that aren’t recipes:



► As for non-food-related links: I first saw this on the Yuletide fandom promotion post (I think), and while the other tweets from this account don’t do much for me, this one made me laugh:

► And I think I’m going to leave this here for now— I still have plenty of links to go through, but I’ve made an indent at least, and I’m tired now. I didn’t quite get to talking about Yuletide proper, but oh well. Until next time.

► So, the fics for White Dwarf Rabbit Hole were revealed sometime last night / in the early morning! Which, of course, means that it’s time to show off what I had written for me. ♥


With Unspoken Accord (1412 words) by Katherine
Fandom: Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey
Relationships: Skif/Talia
Characters: Talia, Skif
Summary:

When they woke to the sunrise together in the Companions' Field after their third unconsummated tryst, Talia and Skif did not give up on being more than friends.


Basically, this fic was an absolute delight to read! ♥ It has a really soft, almost gentle feel to it, and I left it feeling incredibly warm and cozy. If you like the Valdemar books, and have a fondness for Skif & Talia’s relationship, then you should definitely go read this.

► Apparently, AO3 bugged up or something*, because there was a partial reveal of authors when the fics were revealed. The fic I wrote was one of the ones revealed, but I think I’ll wait a bit before talking about it— I know there’s no real reason to wait, but it stills feels weird for me to talk about the fic I wrote in the same entry that I show off the one I received.

*I can easily believe that’s what happened, considering that I ALSO got hit with a bug during this exchange. When I tried to leave a kudos on my gift, AO3 decided that one kudos wasn’t good enough— but three would do. =P

► In somewhat related news, I revamped my fanfiction master list a few days back— mainly because I wanted a change, and couldn’t resist the idea of using a table code to do it. (I was tempted to use this table instead, but managed to talk myself out of it only because it occurred to me that finding / making an icon for some of my fandoms would be difficult. Still. It could have been really, really pretty.)
