I can't believe how many people have finished already. I'd still be climbing up that very first hill. #Vasaloppet

Those are lovely news!! Been thinking of you often & hoping that you were feeling a bit better πŸ’—. Yay! Of course, not stressing/overworking is level 9,000 difficulty, but I believe in you! πŸ’ͺ

Ok, ok, ok, I MAY have a finished first draft of chapter 2 (Hollanov fic, what else). 😀 The sex scene transition is still awkward, but at least it exists now. The ending feels a little clunky, but I think I have been staring at it for too long, haha.

Guess who's got a ticket to an actual real-life hockey game! The DEL season is almost over and this is very much a "If I don't do this now, at the height of my HR feels, I'll regret it" situation. I have no idea how enjoyable it'll be for me, but I really want to experience it. :D

Oh yes, almost no one is as good at delivering torment as the writers on AO3. πŸ˜­πŸ‘ The amount of times I've written variations of "10/10, would cry again" in comment boxes haha.

Fanfic post on Tumblr blog "derryday". Fic title: Armor

    Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
    Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
    Category: Gen
    Fandom: Murderbot (TV)
    Relationship: Dr. Gurathin & Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries)
    Characters: Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries), Dr. Gurathin (Murderbot Diaries), Dr. Bharadwaj (Murderbot Diaries), Pin-Lee (Murderbot Diaries)
    Additional Tags: Some Book Elements, Post-Episode: s01e10 The Perimeter, Makeup, The Corporation Rim Is Terrible (Murderbot Diaries), Arguing, Friendship, Vitiligo, Drones, Meanwhile HordΓΆΓΆp-Sklanch Is Going Through It, Author Has Feelings About Drones, Mentions of Gurathin's Past
    Words: 4,754

Summary: 

    "Why do you take it all off?"
    Gurathin flinched. I hadn't realized how absorbed he'd grown by his little ritual. He glanced into the mirror towards me. His eyebrows raised, but then he politely looked away again.
    "It's not good for the skin to leave it overnight."
    Humans. So fragile. "But you have to put it back on every morning," I pointed out. "That seems like a hassle."
    Gurathin was dabbing carefully at his other eye. Perhaps it was more sensitive. From a MedSys file that I'd definitely not downloaded illegally, I knew that that side of his head held more augments than the other, especially behind his eye socket.
    "Leaving it on too long gives you wrinkles," he said.
    "You already have wrinkles."

Or: Murderbot & Gurathin vs. make-up.

I'm wondering if I should gently ban myself from reading any more Hollanov fanfics until I've organized/downloaded the absolute mess that are my tabs, my ao3 bookmarks & marked for later lists. πŸ₯² SO many fics I want to comment on, and the number just keeps going up!
