brief update + wednesday reading

Dear lord, they asked me to mentor someone at the office. Like, an official relationship where we met monthly and all. I may have to consult with my brother, who does this on a regular basis, just to get some idea of what to do. (I mean, normally, I'm the thorn in people's side, always sitting over in the corner where they shove me and deflating their pretensions to clear writing skills, not being asked to share expertise. I need to remember this for when I do the year-end meme and it asks me for something I've never done before.)

In other news, I am so close to finishing off the Steve/Darcy MCU fic I've been playing with over the last few months, soooo close. Last 2k words. HEA. Debating between straight-up smut/fade-to-black. Y'know, the important stuff. ( cutting for character-related spoilers in the MCU )

...and books

finished
A Civil Campaign, Lois McMaster Bujold, audiobook == I'm so glad I beat down my internal completest freak and just skipped over all of the many books between the ones I've read (SoH, B, TWA) and just went ahead and listened to this one. I definitely enjoyed it and ( I realize this book is 20+ years old, but this was such a delightful reveal that I don't want to ruin it for others )

Somewhat surprisingly, my favorite character might actually have been Gregor, so I'm guessing I'll be on an AO3 hunt for a bit.

reading now
The only thing I started new was Laziness Does Not Exist, Devon Price, which I think I gleaned from a podcast last month. Just now starting so no opinion as of yet.

Otherwise, I'm still in with Deal with the Devil, Because Internet, and Obi Wan and Anakin.

next
Possibly Captain Vorpatril's Alliance...
