Young Harry accidentally burned down the family kitchen so when the house is being renovated

Summary:

"I want to be alone, Jack," Robby said, short and sharp and pissy.

Fucking great. Apparently in the 45 minutes since Jack had last seen him, Robby had gone from devastation to anger. This would be fun.

"It's nice to want things," he drawled, deliberately light. "I wanted to walk out of Iraq on my own two feet, but hey. No plan survives contact with the enemy and all that."

Robby turned then, looking at him over the top of the couch, face drawn, eyes dark in the low lights. "Yeah? You my enemy?"

Current Mood: busy

61 clics depuis que j'ai posté le chapitre 20 des Rats et fées il y a une semaine, avec le nom du meurtrier dedans... Et aucun commentaire (je ne compte pas celui d'une personne que je connais irl).
Même si le chapitre ne leur a pas plu peut-être, je trouve ça franchement mesquin...
Quand on a lu 20 chapitres, on peut bien taper trois mots non ?
Mais quand c'est gratuit, on profite. Sans doute que les mêmes iront se plaindre de l'IA alors qu'ils ont toujours traité les auteurs comme de la merde.

Je me demande aussi si il n'y en a pas qui boudent parce qu'ils voulaient juste que Lucius se tape Severus...
Dommage. (mouah ah ah)

Tout cela est devenu tellement ridicule.
Qu'est-ce que je fiche ici, sérieusement ?
Je suis trop vieille pour ces conneries.

The novella Finding Echoes by Foz Meadows (The Manifold Worlds, The Tithenai Chronicles) was a lot of fun. A man who can speak to ghosts goes on a mission with his former lover to expose the Stonemetal Guild's corruption.

The worldbuilding was excellent, though I could have done with a glossary (especially if we end up getting more stories in this universe?). The characters all had notable personalities.

There's major m/m and minor f/f.

----------
I finally made the time to get my latest free month of Amazon Prime.

Amazon Prime's movie G20 was great. US President Danielle Sutton must fight terrorists who have taken over the G20 Conference in South Africa.

Viola Davis (Annalise Keating in How To Get Away With Murder) plays the ex-Army US President and gets compared to Captain America. As far as I'm concerned, my beloved Sam Wilson can lend her the mantle if he wants to take a break. Anthony Anderson (Andre Johnson in Black-ish) plays her husband. And Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson in the MCU) plays the US Vice-President.

The South Korean First Lady was an amazing old woman. Congrats to the costume department for her lovely hanbok! It let me know she was from Korea even before she was officially introduced. :-)

La séquelle de Bandersnatch (mais peut-on vraiment appeler ça une séquelle ?) dans la nouvelle saison de Black Mirror, c'était plutôt bof, même si j'ai apprécié de revoir Colin Ritman et le patron de Tuckersoft.

Rendez Stephan !

Most of my political talk is on my Bluesky, but here are a few links.

US politics

I recommend following General Strike US (not only about organising the strike, but also about many important social topics). Alternatives include 5 Calls and The 50501 Movement. If you prefer, they're on other social media as well.

UK politics

My thoughts go to the trans people suffering from the UK Supreme Court case widely funded by JKR. As they say, read another book: here's my queer magic school book rec list (also on Tumblr for reblogging purposes).

Summary: Quand le terrifiant Severus Snape devient la proie d’un loup en smoking… Chapitre 4 : Au loup !

Le meilleur passage de cette fic pénible :

Traçant des figures avec la télécommande comme s'il s'agissait d'une baguette, le professeur Snape était assis sur le canapé de la suite, vêtu de son tablier rouge, s'employant à faire défiler les chaînes.

Le matou noir et blanc disparut, un clochard aux longs cheveux blonds s'acharnant sur sa guitare folk en bêlant d'une voix éraillée qu'il avait besoin d'un « easy friend » laissa place à une bribe de feuilleton américain, intitulé Les Racistes et les Fêlés. Un blond aristocrate gominé à la chemise entrouverte y parlait les yeux dans les yeux à une brune aux longs ongles rouges dont le maquillage surdosé n'était éclipsé que par le volume tsunamien de son brushing… « Cela suffit Bella, j'en ai assez de tes mensonges… je sais que c'est toi qui as tué Gustave. – Mais comment oses-tu m'accuser, Luc, après la merveilleuse nuit que nous avons passée ensemble ? »

Ridicule, pensa Severus Snape, qui zappa immédiatement.

Not me posting a story on a weekday at a reasonable hour! I don't even know who I am anymore.

But, you guys! Someone on tumblr illustrated a scene from one of my stories!!! The story is The Way Back and the fanart is here. I love it desperately. Fandom is the fucking best.

Summary:

"I'm not about to kill myself, Robby," Jack said, easy. "If I were going to kill myself, I wouldn't do it here, for you all to find, because that's just rude. I'd eat my gun at home like a proper soldier. Iraq vets have a system, man, it's tradition," he drawled, putting some grim humor on the last.

"Gotta be honest, man, you're not making me feel better over here," Robby said, his voice actually worried now.

"Would it help to know I'm out here because it reminds me that I want to be alive?"

One Has To Die by MN Bennet was amazing, as usual. It's Book 3 of Branches of Past and Future, a magic school adult book series, focused on a telepathic teacher. And contrary to what the countdown in the titles let me think, this is not the finale.

This tome does very interesting things with the POV, that I can't explain for spoilery reasons. The plot is excellent as well.

There's major m/m, which used to be m/m/m (Finn died a few years before Book 1, but there are always some scenes with his spirit, so maybe that still counts as polyamory). The students include an m/m couple, a sapphic, an ace girl, a trans boy, an enby...

C'est pas *exceptionnel* mais heh c'est pour un public très jeune, ça date, et en vrai, même avec tout le recul, ça reste intéressant, hein. Y'a pas de mystère que ça ait su durer 50 tomes ! (est-ce que je vais me lasser avant le 50ème ? on verra bien !)

First book in an iconic kid detective series--one of the inspirations behind Miraculous Ladybug (and the very one their middle school is named after.) Not *great* but still quite engaging.

Apparently I now have a full-time job writing fic for these two. What even is my life.

I need an icon for The Pitt and I have no time to make one! Harumph. (life is very hard; woe is me) Until then, our badass Navy medic will have to suffice.

Summary:

"Yeah, what's with you saying you don't have a best friend?" Jack asked, indignant, waving an illustrative hand toward himself.

Robby held his gaze, his smile fading into something more intense. "'Best friend' isn't the term I'd use for you," he said in a silky voice, the tone he'd promised to never, ever use at work.

It slid through Jack, going straight to his cock, lighting him up everywhere. Oh, fuck him. Jack swallowed hard against his suddenly-dry throat, trying to tamp down on the arousal. "You're right," he said, keeping his voice controlled. "'Superior' works much better."

Summary:

Dana was already explaining: "Mohan was asking if this guy's single," she said, hooking a thumb Jack's way.

Robby lit up like he'd just gotten a gift, turning bemused eyes his way. "Oh, was she," he drawled, enjoying this.

Dana made an indulgent noise. "Apparently she's very taken with our dear Dr. Abbot and wondered if the feeling is mutual." They both looked to Jack then, Dana long-suffering, Robby delighted.

Fuck Jack's life, honestly.

Doctor Who is back. I love it when the Doctor wears a kilt! <3

I already love Belinda Chandra. We haven't had a scientifically-minded companion since Martha, or am I forgetting someone?
