We have guests so the radio was on earlier – it never usually is I’m married to iTunes or Spotify heh – and I suddenly tuned in to the song that was playing.
Only You – all my SwanFire feels!
I love random happenings which spark good thoughts like that 🙂 I started humming along and thinking about these two dorks and the AU’s someone was talking about yesterday with baby brother Gideon. All the feels heh 🙂
YOU MANAGED TO WRITE IN THIS HEAT????!!!!!
You are my hero! Seriously how did you do it? I’m in awe! I didn’t even turn the PC on today because it was too sweltering. I suppose I could have written on my laptop (I turned that on to reply to this) but I think my brain dribbled out my ears or turned into cotton wool or something.
Although I suppose it’s a matter of circumstance. Last July had an incredibly hot week and that week I wrote 30k but the situation was different. So even though it was technically hotter on the thermometer, I’m hotter right now than I was then. Ugh I don’t know if that makes sense – it’s the heat! Hopefully it’ll cool down soon, although I was told it’s only set to get warmer *cries*
I’m just not used to being hot. I’m perpetually cold normally. So usually everyone is complaining of being hot and I’m wearing a sweater and looking for a blanket, but I guess 30 degree weather is too hot even for me … and did I just spend three paragraphs complaining about the heat? Ooops sorry Santa!
I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying writing the fic! That’s what makes me the happiest, thinking that you are happy 🙂 So thank you so much for that! Heh well it would probably be a good job without the customers right? 🙂 I’m pleased the movie AU isn’t giving you too many problems. I’m so excited to read this! I’m alternating between counting down because yay fic, and going eeek where’s the time going in regards to mine heh. Do you find that Santa?
Anyway, I hope that your weekend went ok and you didn’t suffer with the heat too badly! I also hope your forthcoming week will be a good one!
[cont] But I know you’ll be ok with that. As it stands, I have Gold as the uptight head chef, teen Bae as his son who suddenly comes into his custody, and Belle as the bright young thing hired as a sous-chef. I have Mal as the restaurant owner, Jefferson in an amalgamated role as the restaurant maitre d’, and Regina as Gold’s therapist (because oh, the snark will be wonderful). If that sounds good to you, we should be good to go!
Oh wow that sounds incredible!
So yes that definitely sounds good to me! 🙂 I’m sorry the movie AU is giving you trouble. I’m happy with a loose adaptation, or a stricter one, or basically you know whatever heh. I’m happy with anything really. I just want you to enjoy yourself. I think all those characters sound perfect! Seriously it sounds fantastic.
I’m really loving the sound of the snark heh 🙂
[cont] But the upside is that at least I haven’t started writing, so I don’t have to scrap anything! Tomorrow, I promise. There will be words on the page tomorrow. Hope your own gift is going ok and you’re managing to stay cool! I’ve lived here all my life but I categorically hate British weather! ~ Santa
Oh wow that’s so cool! You are a fellow countryman 🙂 which kinda narrows your identity down a bit but don’t worry, I still don’t have a clue who you are. Yes it was hot today! I also hate British weather, I think hating the weather is actually part of being British to be fair heh 🙂 Unfortunately it’s set to be even worse tomorrow so please don’t worry about starting writing the fic. Just stay cool! Slaving over a hot computer is not fun when it’s 30c.
I haven’t actually started my gift yet either. We have people staying this weekend and between pretending I’m sociable, and all the extra chores guests generate (plus the heat), I haven’t written anything yesterday or today. I keep saying – tomorrow! to myself as well heh 🙂 I live in hope!
Anyway, thanks for saying hi Santa, it’s always nice to hear from you! You are welcome to message anytime, I’m open to chatting if you felt like it 🙂 I hope you have a good weekend and you stay cool! I also hope that if you do start writing, that the fic treats you well! *hugs*
Reading all the convention posts! His hair is growing back yay 🙂
Anyway, Robert Carlyle said in a couple of years he’ll be playing a hitman that’s tired and wants out of the life? Am I right in that? Because that sounds to me like an older version of David Russell from The Last Enemy and I am so totally here for that!!!
I can’t wait for this. I need fic guys 🙂
I think Anyelle-ing this is kind of a given at this point…
Awesome! If it’s a couple of years away there won’t be any details for a while I guess but we can always take inspiration from previous roles…
Also random but tumblr unfollowed you on it’s own. Thanks to you reblogging my post I noticed. You are the first blog I followed *kicks tumblr* don’t do that!
lemusesick replied to your post: Reading all the convention posts! His hair is…
Ohhh i like the way you think! Now THAT would be awesome
YES! There is zero Last Enemy anyelle fic (that I can find) which I’ve always thought is a shame. RC was brilliant in that. Anyway, however I hope his new project airs on something I can get as I’m definitely going to watch! 🙂
I wrote 13 ficlets in all. Thank you so much to everyone who sent in prompts, commented or liked the posts. You are all lovely! 🙂

– Never mind, the moment’s gone (Rumbelle, Moment!Verse)
– If you really loved me there wouldn’t be a choice (Post-S6 Gold family fluff)
– You’re supposed to talk me out of this (Lachacy)
– That was a perfect example of how not to do things (Rushacy)
– Same time tomorrow? (GoldenLace, Tomorrow!Verse)
– I didn’t intend to kiss you (Rumbelle, Glasses!Verse)
– It’s 8:30, I have a hangover and you’re annoying me (BraveWarrior)

– Shut up, I am a delight (Rumbelle/GoldenLace not sure yet)
– My nightmares are usually about losing you (Regina and Henry family feels)
@graciecatfamilyband replied to your post #20 BraveWarrior! <3
I DONT even watch OUAT or participate in the fandom but this is awesome. Mulan and Merida belong together.
YES another shipper! Heh 🙂
I just look at them and how can anyone not ship them really? It just jumps out and screams “ship me!” and so I kinda have to 🙂 I mean I suppose we don’t pick our ships, they pick us and BraveWarrior has definitely chosen me.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment on the ficlet. I’m glad you liked it! I hope to write more BraveWarrior in future 🙂
@leni-ba replied to your post #20 BraveWarrior! <3
This is so cute! Also, gotta love the idea of Ruby and Mulan as roommates. Wonder if Granny ends up sending care packages for both girls! lol Really good as ever. 🙂
Yeah probably 🙂 I see Granny as being all tough and disapproving on the outside, but really that just hides the deep love she has for her family. She’s the kind to scold Ruby when she comes home and then slip extra food packets in her bag to take back. I’m glad you liked it! Thank you 🙂
leni-ba replied to your post “Prompt 12! “I’ve been buying the …”
Belle is just so adorable here! I love her reaction over her underwear drawer, poor thing. and then Gold picks up a cue and asks her out. How sweet!
I know! I thought for a minute Gold was going to remain dense but finally he saw the light and they have a date set, cue massive panic for Belle. Thank you for your lovely comment, I’m pleased you enjoyed the ficlet!

“How about Regal Believer …”
This is so wonderful. I love the dynamic between Regina and Henry, it’s one of my favorites on the show. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Seriously, stacking all these comments into the one post I’m just awed, and so grateful for your support. I’m really glad you enjoyed the ficlets and I hope you liked the follow-ups to the two ficlets where you asked for more 🙂 You are the best! *hugs you*
@sarashouldbestudying thanks for the tag 🙂
1) What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?
Depends when as a kid and what qualifies as a cartoon. When I was really little I liked Thomas the Tank Engine and SuperTed. Awww SuperTed I’m getting nostalgic now 🙂 When I got a bit older I liked X-Men: Evolution.
2) Do you like math?
I love math! I wish I was better at it because I think it’s really cool. So much of the world can be broken down into formulas and equations. We can understand a lot of the cosmos thanks to math. Math drives science. Math is the reason that so many things work, well math and physics, like it’s why bridges stay up and how planes can fly and so many cool things. I used to get really frustrated at school. I am very much an applied math person, and I wanted to know what use the different math had, I just got told to shut up and get on with my work and then I struggled. I always did so much better if I knew the point, if I could think ‘this is the math of architecture’ or something. I guess that’s just how my brain works.
3) Sweet or savory breakfast?
What counts as a sweet breakfast? I mean I like crunchy nut cornflakes, I guess they are a little sweet because of the honey. I also like raspberry and vanilla soya yogurt, which isn’t exactly bitter. Erm, so I don’t know how to answer but I eat those two things.
4) Why did you join tumblr?
For the Rumbelle fandom. I was browsing some blogs anonymously and then I saw the ‘Rumbelle is Hope’ event was going to start May 2016, so I took the leap because I wanted to join in basically.
5) Is there a trope you really really like in fics?
I don’t know. I guess … is established relationship a trope? I will never ever get tired of reading my OTP being happily married. It doesn’t have to be fluff but I like them dealing with problems together. I like all sorts of tropes really, they have become tropes for a reason it’s because they are good things 🙂
6) Do you like your name, or do you prefer people to shorten it/use a nickname?
I really don’t mind. Most people call me Sam, rather than Samantha, but I’ll answer to both and I let people choose.
7) What’s your favorite time of the day?
That depends. Probably on a general basis, after breakfast in the morning. If I’m going to have a good day, it’s that time that usually determines that. If I start off being productive, then I can usually carry it through. Plus I stand the best chance of tackling harder tasks at that time, as I’m hopefully not too tired as I’ll have only just got up, and breakfast should be giving me energy. That’s the theory anyway.
8) Do you think high school is/was a good period of your life?
Tough one. I felt more accomplished at high school because basically if I put the effort in, then I was rewarded with good grades. Good grades made me feel better about myself, so I liked that. High school generally? No, it really sucked for so many reasons.
9) What’s your ideal way to spend a day off of work/study?
Ok I’d have the house to myself. I wouldn’t feel guilty because perhaps I’d done everything I was supposed to for a change. I’d have decided the previous day that I was taking the time off, so it was an allowed thing and not just me being lazy. Then I’d probably spend the day doing a mix of watching TV/movies and playing video games.
10) Do you like doing chores?
Does anyone like doing chores? I like it when they are done because well I have to do them, so it’s nice not to be looking around and seeing everything I haven’t done. However, on the other hand they are an ‘all the time thing’ and it’s just never-ending. I hoover the house, a couple of hours later and it’s already starting to get grubby again. I do laundry and that night I generate more, it just doesn’t stop. There’s never a “yes I’ve done it!” point because there’s always more to do. So I don’t like that about it at all.
11) What do you think is the first thing people associate with you?
I’m not sure. I suppose it might depend on whether people meet me in person or they just know me over the internet. I’m guessing either way the answer is likely to be my anxiety. I suppose if someone met me in person it’s possible that it might be how attached I am to my iPod, or that none of my clothes fit me. I’m really not sure.
