A little randomness to uphold my wacky good mood (which is solely based on the fact that I have a lot to do and little time in which to do it). I have officially passed from panic to that area of strangley energetic calm. Yay, Me!
So, from the specific:
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moireach wrote The Winter to Pass her amazing contribution to the Free-Verse Challenge AND the sequel to What the Living Do.
Giles/Oz set in the Wishverse picking up where "The Wish" left off. It's a quietly beautiful story exploring the choices we make and ways we survive. I think that it also asks a few vital questions, among which are: What makes life worth living? and When is enough enough and when is it too much? How do you know? Gorgeously written with awesome imagery, Kyra invokes a deliciously still atmosphere representative of the lethargy and hopelessness that infects this world and the people in it. The ending, I think, is perfect.
and on to the random:
Dearie me, you are a Hoyden! You may have
brothers, but it is most likely you are the indulged only daughter of an affectionate father and a mother who died when you were an
infant. You have been known to wear breeches,
refuse to ride sidesaddle and know how to use a
pistol or a rapier. There is a distinct
possibility that you will become embroiled with
smugglers. You are definitely cheeky and
fearless. Your hero will at first mistake you
for a boy, but his inexplicable attraction to
you will lead him to deduce that you are in
fact female. He will be torn between his
respect for your daring and skill at manly
pursuits, and his irrational yet intense fear
for your safety, which will manifest itself in
him becoming very angry with you. You will, of
course, not recognise the fear beneath his
anger, and will shout right back at him - there
is a good possibility things will turn steamy
at this point. The situation will resolve
itself either in you taming your wild ways
because you can't bear to cause him concern, or
in you rescuing him, leading to a compromise in
which he recognises
and respects your
abilities, and you take fewer risks. Let us
hope it is the latter.

Yup, that's me! Damn those skirts and give me a blade. Although, I've got my share of curves and boyish looking I ain't.
And then.....

Time to give me a little present in the form of sharing the self-love. I want you to tell me your favorite fic. The catch? It has to be YOURS - you wrote it. You love it. You tell me where it is and why it's your fave. Then, post this in your own journal.
It doesn't matter the fandom, the pairing, the rating. Whatever you love best in your work, that's what I want to read. The payoff? You mean other than feeling all glowy about your own work? Feedback of course.
Yes, people, Cupid Bow Mouth is always about pimping the fic! Speaking of which . . .
