A vignette and fic request
Jul. 22nd, 2005 05:09 pmI'm exhausted and already sore, having spent several hours today with an industrial strength hot gun in my left hand and a putty knife in my right, scraping paint of my parents' wood banisters on their outside porch. :P A definite plus for today, though: two new CD compilations from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
llembas!! Thanks, dear- I'm listening to #1 now. Can't wait to hear The Decemberists after your comment ('I would like to crawl inside this guy's voice and live there.').
Well, I haven't stopped writing in the Ardaverse, and as proof, included in this post is an Éowyn-centric vignette set in the Houses of Healing I started a few weeks ago. On the whole today, however, I'm feeling listless and uninspired, and I need some fic recommendations. I'm reading![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
geoviki's sure-to-be extraordinary (as they all are) story, Delicate Sound of Thunder, but I don't want to rush it and I'd like something a little shorter, just for this evening. I also recently read DementorDelta's "Absolutely Anybody" and fell in love. She writes about the possibilities of parseltongue like none other. I can always reread that one, but here's what I'm looking for: something newish (or old enough that I probably haven't read it, LOL), 70 pages or under, can be angsty or not, Ardaverse or HP, and I'd like some well-written, hot smut, too. A tall order, perhaps, but not amongst you, my fellow well-read friends. So rec away!
Another quick aside: my closest buddy from rehab, a retired banker, sent me a cry-inspiring gift yesterday, a Mont Blanc pen, complete with turquoise ink. Everybody from rehab wanted me to write a book, and when I do, I can guarantee it'll be written with this pen.
Here's the ficlet- hope you enjoy, and I'll look forward to the recs.
