Had a lovely time in London and will write about it, but am currently trying to get my Christmas cards done, and feel like Oswin in my icon.

Fic: Dating the Cleverest Boy in the World. Chapter 13.

I can't believe how awkward this chapter has been. Mostly, it's due to Troy who just APPEARED and turned out to be so much bigger on the inside, threatening to completely take over the whole chapter. I've done my best to scale him back (he'll probably get his own story at some point), but I reckon I've discarded at least as much as is here - the sheer number of rewrites I had to do was unbelievable. /o\ (If you're curious about Troy, I wrote a little prologue/minisode for him: Unexpected.) Also - look I made a new icon! You'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out what it's all about, but I couldn't help using it. *pets it*
