Stories, Saiyuki and and remixredux 3 recs

It's a holiday day today in the UK. I woke at 7.30am but still feel groggy, and there's something not right with my stomach. Ugh.  It's cloudy outside and cool, but the garden needs doing and so do other domestic things, like the washing up and the windows. Brain not in gear yet. I also have the next four days off, so that's a huge relief. I'm not planning on going anywhere, apart from London one day,  because I just want some time to do life-and-brain-organising type things.  Oh, and the sun had just come out! *feels instantly better*

Apart from the domestic, my notebooks are backing up with a number of half finished stories and for a while I've had the unpleasant feeling that they're all slipping away from me.  I'm getting all tied up about which one to finish first and I desperately want to finish them and also wirte some new ones. Like: on 100_roadtrips, for the flowers theme, someone mentioned how hard it was to write non-angsty flower fic (although ranalore managed it:-). Someone else said that it would be even harder to write a non-angsty Saiyuki story about a rainy night. I love that idea with a passion, but as yet haven't had any inspiration on how to achieve such a thing.

Also, not exactly a GIP, but mistressrenet answered my prayer for a scowling tempestous beauty!Sanzo icon. XD

Anyway, moving on, some quickie recs from Remix Redux 3:

Harry Potter

Oh, Night and Divine -  Remus/Sirius, R. A succession of happy Christmasses, up until 1981, from Sirius's point of view, all the more poignant because you know what's coming.

Vegetables and the Weather  - Luna Lovegood and the love of radishes, G. We find out why Luna wears those ridiculous radish-shaped earrings. Very touching.

Good Omens

Boys and Girls (the Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf remix) - Crowley/Aziraphale, PG. Endlessly charming-- Aziraphale is wonderful in this.

Seven Circles To Leave Your Lover In (The Pandaemonium Remix) - Hastur/Ligur, PG-13.  A match made in Hell, and the love that dare not speak its name.  Bet you never thought a story about these two could be romantic, did you?

Groo

I'm still feeling crummy-- must have been something I ate last night. But on the bright side, the Body Shop does a mean Satsuma shower gel and body lotion. This is highly recommeded if you want to smell of oranges, like I do. I had a shower and put some lotion on hours ago, and I still smell like a satsuma-- wafts of it keep coming up from the neck of my t-shirt.

Keeping with the fruit theme, I have Marks and Sparks strawberry, lychee and apple juice too and it's delicious.  Also, Saiyuki Gunlock, which is making me laugh.
