light a fire without a spark
Still have a bit of a cough (stupid plague).
Heat's on! OH BOY IS THE HEAT ON. Seems with radiators it's all or nothing. oops?
Hil found me a copy of Villains By Necessity for my birthday! It's in amazing shape, too; there's a slight crease down the front cover and that's it. BEST EVER.
(scene: Five Guys burgers, Sunday afternoon. The place is PACKED, and we can barely hear the music from our seat thanks to everyone else's conversation, but I've just picked out "Ramblin' Man.")
quinby: ::headtilt of trying to hear the music::
me: Allman Brothers.
her: Oh. It sounds kinda like the Top Gear theme.
me: ...:D Actually, that's based on another of their songs. (Classic rock isn't her world at all, so I'm extra beamy that she spotted the resemblance, especially since Top Gear!"Jessica" isn't that much like the original to my ear.)
And now: FIC FRIDAY.
For
ceitfianna:
Charles-Phyllis, I can do this
Charles can't see why Phyllis is nervous about her new job. The way she's going on about their equipment, she's well-suited.
Apollo, my people
Sometimes Apollo doesn't introduce himself to those he takes a shine to; it's better to stay back and grant them blessings.
Claudia-Sameth, letting go
"Dude, relax, you don't need to hold the wheel that tightly." Why she thought Sam needed a driving lesson she has no idea.
For
ladyoflorien:
Imp - a rose by any other name
There's more language barrier between Llamedos and Ankh-Morpork than one might think; sometimes Morporkian's too harsh.
Claudia - what rules?
The rules say her brother's dead. The rules say she shouldn't hack secret warehouses. She thinks the rules are wrong.
Sam - that sought for thrill
The girl's long since gone; Sam's pinned her attacker to the floor. "You won't be doing that again. Or much else."
Apollo - family values
Any family that defines 'dysfunctional' like his is bound to be complicated, but Apollo wouldn't have any other family.
Regulus - strong
He wasn't strong enough to take what the Sorting Hat wanted to give him; he won't let his mother dictate all of his life.
