I just went back and reread the Good Omens fic I wrote in 2003-4. That was quite a weird experience. Not bad, just weird. I thought I'd finally put it on AO3 because people have asked, and upload it with the caveat that it's book canon. But actually there's very little in them that goes against TV canon. I wonder if that's partly because it was a very good adaptation? It's at least partly because I never wrote anything very long or involved in GO fandom, and my stories were often about underpants or porridge or snake babies, and other silly things. 

Yeah, now I do want to write something long an involved. My writing efforts have changed a lot in the years since then, going from always short to always long, possibly reflecting the change in why I write. Not that I have written very much in the past year, really.

Anyhoo, I have a metric shit ton of feelings about GO right now. That adaptation has pleased me a lot. As I was saying just this morning, it's really quite something to go back to an old fandom but with a shiny new set of mental imagery.

A few people have asked recently, so just to let you know that Cupidity is up at curious_spells here, along with my and emungere's other collaborations.

I lost an hour reading back through my old LJ posts, remembering old jobs, anxieties and my succession of fandoms. I've imported all that stuff, so it's still here, but all the same it's sad to finally say farewell to that old place.

I wrote more Hannibal fic.

Title: Translucent
Rating: explicit m/m
Pairing: Hannibal/Will
Notes: ty for Emungere for beta!

Summary: Clothes make the man. Or woman. Hannibal crossdresses. Will finds that he likes it.

Read it on the A03

I haven't posted here for a while - I seem to spend all my time being hypnotised by tumblr. But I have written fic!

Title: A shade did weave a dream
Author: Louise Lux
Pairing: Hannibal Lecter/Will Graham
Rating: Explicit m/m
Summary: I've set it during season one, and it takes place after the events of episode four 'Oeuf'.

“I was going to try psilocybin therapy with you, too,” Hannibal said.

“So that's why you asked me over, so we could both hallucinate in your dining room?”

“Not both at the same time but, after Abigail had left, I had planned to ask your permission to administer a dose.”

Ladybirds are swarming in the garden! Has anyone else noticed this today? I can see at least ten flying about from my workroom window.

Ion I watched the first two eps of Supernatural ( spoilers )

I spent an hour this morning tracking down a bad smell in the kitchen. Imagine a slice of brie has crawled off and died. In fact, I thought it was the brie in the fridge, but no. My final guess, after crawling round to check nothing had gone and died behind the footboards, was the sink, so I bleached the fuck out of it. Not very environmentally friendly but by that point I didn't care.

We went to see the NT Live Othello last night, with Adrian Lester as Othello and Rory Kinnear as Iago. They were both brilliant. And surprise Lyndsey Marshall as Emilia! I did not realise she was in it. She was great - cynical and by the end ragingly angry, probably as you would be if you were married to Iago. The setting was a modern day army base, so she was in army combats, and her hard bittenness seemed to set Desdemona's innocence in starker contrast.

Also, during Desdemona's traumatic murder scene (which really was not played for laughs!) someone in the row behind me kept laughing! Not just once, but several times. Maybe even five times. Dr Lecter, was that you?

I have a date with friends and booze tonight, which I'm looking forward to. Then a full weekend programme of HOME IMPROVEMENTS. Well, not really. More a weekend of lots of cups of tea and lounging about reading. The main improvement is plastering in the enormous hole I made when I was stripping the walls in stairwall. Getting that single thing will make me happy. But I also still need to patch some holes in the bathroom and finish painting in there too. And there's the whole other matter of papering the stairs, but that might have to be for another weekend when the new plaster has had time to dry.

I finally saw Star Trek Into Darkness last night. Yes, I remained unspoiled for four months! ( Cut for spoilers )

Ion, tonight is jam making night. I just have to find the jam pan in the moving boxes. D:

I've been up at my dad's since Friday.

( remembrance )

to daegaer! I hope you have a beautiful day!
