Holidays and fic

[elisi]

Hi all. Sorry about the radio silence, but we went on holiday. See below (actual photo, taken on my phone - yes it is that beautiful). ETA: Went on holiday 'back home' [the Faroes] for me, and are still here. It's been 4 years since we last visited, thanks to covid... (It's possible that we all caught it on the way as we're all various degrees of coughing/sniffly - a combination of airport + plane, or possibly just the small coughing child behind us on the plane - but we're mostly fine. It's probably just a cold.)

As holiday reading I brought with me The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, as it was heartily recommended by kaffy_r. It proved delightful and very enjoyable. The world building is brilliant, the characters wonderful and complex, and although I found it nigh-on impossible to keep track of the names I loved it to pieces.

Finally, I managed to edit this short fic, with thanks to Owls for the sensitivity read-through and to kathyh for the beta. <3

Family Matters: Cousin Barry.
Summary: Josh meets Jamie's extended family (the bad and the good).

(Part of my 'Seeker' verse, more info/notes on Ao3. Again, a little FitB type thing, posted after being sat in a drafts folder for... um... 10 years?)

Hope you are okay - am skimming my flist, so saw that you had posted, but didn't have time to delve in. Sending you all my love.

Well the current stuff is like... Fill-in-the-Blanks. Stuff that's been in my drafts folder since forever and that I decided to dust off & turn into something vaguely post-able.

It was a bad day recently, but it turned around nicely. :D So we are doing okay *knock on wood* for now - especially since the extreme heat has died down!

[elisi]

Glad to hear it!

(Sorry about the late response, have been travelling home etc)

No worries about the late response. :D I am the last person to have anything to say about that, lol!
