Got dissatisfied with my moodboard at the last minute and had to redo but here she is! Chapter 10 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

Do not know how this keeps happening, but time goes on?? It is now two weeks later and we have a new chapter scheduled??? Well, I love a good schedule, so here we go! Chapter 9 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

Finished my microwave popcorn. Did not purchase more microwave popcorn. Now desire microwave popcorn.

Am I still unsatisfied with the moodboard? Perhaps! Will I let that deter me? I shan't! Chapter 8 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

I do not believe in spontaneous generation except ☝️ for fruit flies, such as the ones that are currently taking over my apartment, or as it seems right now, their apartment where I happen to reside. (Yes, I have traps, successful traps, and yet the population only grows!!!)

I thought the finale was a good episode in a very uneven season overall, even if it featured some of the same issues as the rest such as pacing and unequal time for the couples. And (giant sigh) they did successfully pull me in for S2 with that ending (unsurprising thb, I’m a soft target).

What's this? Can it be? It is! Another series of scenes which confound my moodboard making abilities is set before you!!! Chapter 7 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

Good evening, friends (and foes, I guess?), I can't believe it's been two weeks. But it has indeed been a fortnight, and so here we go; chapter 6 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Happy happy birthday to @casandras.bsky.social, most delightful auntie, pup parent, fellow fan (and sometimes fun lil hot take hater 😂), writer, and friend! I hope it's an amazing day, Cassie 🎉🎉🎉

We've gotten to a better place with Brian + Julia + Davina (though did it really need to take that long to get here?) but I continue to feel, frustratingly, that almost every character is being acted on and thwarted by the narrative far more than they're able to make and actuate any choices

"Hungry but also nauseated so the thought of food is unappetizing" is one of the worst states that body ever invented 😌😌

Busy Sunday around the house but I would never forget you, rural jurors! Chapter 5 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

Okay, no idea what that was, feel like I went very badly insane for 56 minutes, but anyway Julia Beauchamp my beloved, strongest angel on this earth, I am blasting a Survivor x Bicycle Built for Two mashup in your honor 🫶🫶🫶

For some reason I've been struggling with this very basic crochet skill so I put myself through a granny square boot camp today between writing sessions. Reminded once again that I'd be so very good at being retired/independently wealthy...

Joke's on me 😭😭

Actually, sorry, I'm incapable of shutting up: I appreciated that Brian and Ellen finally got some time to talk (and that was the best non JC sex scene in the shows!) but her seeing lack of guile and pretense as his traits when he's constantly putting up a different front for different people 💀

Trailer for next week's BOMB ep had better be misleading, that's all I'll say! 😑

On the road today but that doesn't mean I'll miss our scheduled update! Direct from the backseat, chapter 4 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

Julia being the dreamer and optimist, thinking of Peter, fictional sprite and complicated denizen of eternal youth, versus traumatized and realistic Henry choosing Claire, a simple, bright torch against the darkness 🥺🥺

Concluding thoughts from the latest BOMB ep: I like Julia so much (my gooey, hopeful sweetheart who is also so smart and steel-spined!), Henry kinda breaks my heart, and I'm sorry but they've played Brian/Ellen entirely wrong for me because every time they declare everlasting love I make this face

Anyway, Daddy Issues: The Episode aside, in my reality Ellen MacKenzie becomes laird and leads the fighting men over to Castle Leathers to chop off Lord Lovat's head, hope that helps <3

Finished my Sunday tasks and it's time to strap in and let this fic REALLY get going! Chapter 3 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

Brief thoughts on the first two episodes: enjoyed both of them and thought that they did an admirable job with a tough assignment, both referencing something beloved and forging new paths. Some clunky bits, but overall well done!

SOMEONE fell through the stones, and we've got to see what happens to her next! Chapter 2 of And Be Two Travelers is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/682664...

Got to spend time last night and today — though not enough — with my brother and sister-in-law's new baaaaaby! Welcome, wee nephew 🥰🥰 (Also, despite some initial dubiousness, slightly less wee nephew approved of my read-aloud skills enough to request multiple books) (Brag)

The Gilded Age is the absolute soapiest, prettiest fun, and the latest episode had me both literally chortling "oh ho HO" aloud and gasping so violently that I choked on my soup

Knock knock, me again, with some more fic to share! The first chapter of my new canon divergent story, And Be Two Travelers, is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/68266481

Bored at work today so feel free to send some words my way!

This isn’t over yet. Spread the word. Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would: — Kick 16 million off their health care — Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes — Hike your energy bills — Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.

If you're a Boston area bus driver and you're not absolutely BLASTING the AC rn, please know that when I say "thank you" it also means "how dare you??"

An extremely happy birthday to @flyinghome.bsky.social: top-tier cat lover, writer extraordinaire, fellow mid-2000s crime show shipper, super excellent friend. Anna, you make me feel Mel The Pitt holding baby/Mel The Pitt removing gravel, and personally, I think we should hang out irl again soon 🫶🎉

The temperature's rising in my neck of the woods and the emotions are rising in this here chapter — plus a confrontation that's been building for a while 👀👀

Parent at our craft event this afternoon told me that her kids call our branch "Miss Leah's library" 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Atonement Chapter 50: Mortar and Mend archiveofourown.org/works/186661...

This chapter absolutely blew my hopes for resolving this part of the plot out of the water! Enjoy the sweet, sweet cathartic vindication 🙌🙌

The feeling when a kid who was so so so shy when they first came to the library that they would only talk through their grownup starts absolutely yapping to me on their own >>>>>>>>

Classic combo of angst and healing (and angst) here, then it hits you with that final line 🤌🤌

Time to embark on the beginning of the end of this JC journey! Happy fic birthday to this stunner, and congrats on the milestone, Danielle 🫶 (Also, I see you and now know you, barnwood accent wall...)

Look who's back keeping her sequel oneshot-related promises!! I would have gotten this up for you at least two hours ago, but then I decided to make a moodboard so I hope you enjoy that extra much as you dive in. Toward Every Tomorrow is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/65083285

Truly nothing better for the blood pressure than getting to hold two-week-old bunnies as part of this program I planned. (I promise, there are other things I do at my job apart from animal events 😂 They're just less fun to post about!)

Tie between Elle Woods "we did it!" and George Washington "one last tiiime." You beautiful readers and your generous reactions have made me like this story all the more, and so I'm excited to get to say that chapter 10 of The Burdens of Invisible Hearts is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/625363...

I always feel absurdly lucky to have met my beloved @zepperonipizza.bsky.social, but on her birthday I'll shout it out. Sar, you're such a funny, creative, considerate human being and an A++++ friend. Wishing you a thousand Ollie hugs, fangirl moments, perfect reads, and Tony's trips. Love you 🫶📚🥔🧙‍♀️

Neither snow nor rain nor dark of night nor AO3 being weird (honestly only one of which applies right now...) can keep me from delivering some fic to you! (Breathe deep, this one is going to be okay.) Chapter 9 of The Burden of Invisible Hearts is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/625363...

I know the world is breaking around us, but also, like........WHY did I decide to schedule slime-making with the children every week?

Evening, chaps and chapesses and assorted other folks! If you so choose, more Edinburgh Jamie and Claire is available for your reading...pleasure? Chapter 8 of The Burden of Invisible Hearts is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/625363...

It's 60 and still sunny after leaving work, and I am smiling so big that people passing me on the sidewalk think I'm deranged 🙌🙌🙌

Hello, dear ones! We're on the upswing after this one, I promise, i.e. chapter 7 of The Burden of Invisible Hearts is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/625363...

Busy afternoon so it's slightly later than usual, but I wouldn't forget you! (Though after this one maybe you'd wish I would...) Chapter 6 of The Burden of Invisible Hearts is up now: archiveofourown.org/works/625363...
