belated Christmas giftfic for redpiratemel

[thrihyrne]

Dearie, I can't even find the thread on your or my LJ (though I think it's hiding sneakily on yours somewhere), but I know that you requested Lavender/Parvati femslash as part of my gift!fic offerings back in October. I've had a rather angsty idea for this from the get-go, and it all came together tonight. If nothing else, I hope this is cathartic. It's slightly multi-media, so I'm linking it directly to my website.

Happy, um, end of January?

:whimpers:


A Taste of Regret

Ohhh, thevina, you really take my breath away! guh... This was so beautiful, and really bittersweet. It makes me love Lavender/Parvati, and my heart is right there with them. ♥Thank you thank you thank you!!♥ You rule me! The letter of poetry was such an excellent touch. Just lovely.

May I pimp please?!

But, of course. :)

There's a niggling sentence that I may rework tomorrow, but this story is yours. I had fun going through your LJ in search of the elusive post, and it was so great to see your pics from TWH again. I hope we're both presenters/roundtable discussion leaders at Lumos. Even if not, I'm looking forward to seeing you again. I should knit you something. :D :D

((loves))

I would be so thrilled if we were both presenters! We'd have to do a little celebration dance if so; we went full circle from some pretty intense fan love conversations on the bus, to getting down to business! Go us.

Thank you again for the story! I just love it. I'm pimping as we speak...

Knit me something?! asdlqaksj - yay!

Why do I suspect that Lavender acquired that habit from Parvati?

Lovely angsty little fic, there.

Must be a combination of multiple lives; there appears to be a lot of angst living in my mind and soul. Glad that you enjoyed it. The femslash aspect was quite tame, must say, but I wanted it to be more emotionally oriented.

Sorry about that; I almost smoked last night, just writing the story. Didn't mean to be enabling at all. But I may end up having a cigarette this afternoon. :P

Thank you for reading!

Oh, don't worry about it. I haven't actually smoked in nine years... but I dream about doing so regularly, so realistically that sometimes when I wake up I think I've actually done it. I started out smoking clove cigs and didn't switch to ordinary ones for about 6 months. Tasty. Damn.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

See, I knew you'd given up smoking years ago, and that's why I felt guilty. I do still find it both fascinating and ironic that I can smoke on occasion and smoked 'seriously' for 3 months, but it still just doesn't chemically jive enough with me for it to be a lifelong thing.

Humans. We're odd.

Well, I had the easiest time quitting of anyone I've ever known, strangely. I tapered down for a month or two and then just stopped. While I was preparing for my M.A. orals, no less. Definitely odd. Especially since I had substantial prenatal exposure.

And I doubt I'll ever take up smoking again. Certainly not as long as SO and I are together!
