GI Wanna Go Home

[kelly_chambliss]

I wanna go home!  But I'm snowed in at my brother's.  (Well, actually, I've dug myself out to the internet cafe; there's only so much no-internet stir-craziness that I can stand.)  The weather should clear by tomorrow (of course, that's what they said about today.  But unless it's the blizzard of the century, I absolutely must leave tomorrow; I have three meetings on Monday.)  

Things could be much worse, obviously.  I mean, I'm safe, warm, caffeinated, have no plane reservations to worry about, have a good and free place to stay.  But damned if I'm not ready to be home!!  Well, I'm at least going to finish the draft of my rare-pare shorts fest fic.

Speaking of FESTS!  The severusbigbang is up and running.  Here's my entry:  "'My Journal about My Life and Stephen and Miranda' by Adela."  It's PG-13 (sorry).  It's gen/lite romance.  It stars Severus and....well, you'll have to read to find out.  It's a surprise that you'll never in a million years guess.  I'm rather pleased by this story, if I do say so.

There are several Severus/Minerva stories, two by flisties (therealsnape , queen_of_snapes) and one by someone I've not read before, m_mcgonagall_65, who has written 45K !! of SS/MM. So far, I've read only therealsnape's story, "The Rules," but it is (of course) a winner, set during that fascinating DH year and containing all the things I love about the pairing:  snarky banter, unspoken regard, just enough poignance and pain.  (Well, maybe not all the things I love -- hot sex was missing last time I checked, but who knows what they've got up to in the meantime?)

Happy Birthday to His Git-ness!

Thank you for the lovely review. Sorry about the Hot Sex. I rather figure Minerva is with someone else ... in a romantic way, that is ...
Feel free to imagine what she gets up to with Poppy, in between the meetings with Severus.

Ah, that's much better, yes! Poppy is certainly a most acceptable alternative.

(perfect icon, btw -- that pic has come in extremely handy; I love when people put their photos on the web for folks like me to take /g/)

I empathise about the snow. I made the mistake of following the dog on a lawn today (I am that kind of person.) The fact that he was almost knee-deep in snow should have warned me. I came home with very cold socks (and I was wearing ankle boots.)

Hooray for the Big Bang. Downloading now - I have a train ride tomorrow (weather permitting) and look forward to the entertainment!

I loved snow when I was a kid. Now...not so much.

Hope the train ride / reading was a successs

Something strange and sobering must have been in the air over the Holiday Season - therealsnape mentions a broom-closet and that's how far it goes, in queen_of_snapes 's story they start kissing passionately and then go to bed separately ...???

Btw - I do hope, you got home alright: we have the same situation in Germany these days, people got stranded in their cars on the Autobahn in the Northern parts of the country, even the service-cars could not get through to them...how awful!

[kellychambliss.livejournal.com]

I did get home, thanks -- I'm relieved, too. There were similar stranded-on-the-highway-overnight stories here, too.

then go to bed separately

I know! What the...?

How have I never seen that pun in your subject line before? :)

Ha! My brother was watching M*A*S*H reruns over the weekend -- there's an episode where they sing that little ditty, and it's been on my mind.
