Lost in Boston
Jan. 4th, 2005 02:15 pmAhhhh, it has been a lovely couple of weeks traveling around seeing relatives and friends and completely not thinking about school, but now I must return to the Pit of Hell and it makes me very sad. And I have had time to contemplate my dire financial position, which doesn't improve my mood one bit. Also seem to be getting a sore throat, so clearly my immune system is down letting mopiness get the better of me all too easily. Could possibly be PMS too. Sigh. Why it is that I never write any entries when I'm happy? Well... I was kinda happy when praising my butter dish, but really I think I was just loopy.
Did just finish read an excellent book. Revelation by Carol Berg. It is the second of a trilogy (the first one, Transformation was awesome as well) so now I must acquire the third one as soon as possible or will go mad. Why do books do that to me? To many of us humans? I was good last night and went to bed at a reasonable hour determining to finish it in the morning, but I woke up at 3am thinking about the book, mind wandering in circles about what had happened already and what was likely to happen next. I finally had to give up trying to sleep and just read the damned thing. It was annoying as hell - I feel so weak-minded. But still, it's a great series. Strangely keeps showing up on lists of people's favorite gay-themed fantasy books, when none of the characters are actually gay. The narrator does develop a very intimate relationship with another male character but it is a spiritual intimacy and not a carnal one. I guess people just wish they'd slept together so they include it.
Sadly, my resolve to write more slashy goodness this vacation has so far gone unrealized. Was hoping to write some today as it is a carefree, lazy day but I'm too distracted still thinking about the book I just finished. In frustration I have decided to post as much of the follow-up to my first Remus x Bill story as is ready to go. I've been stuck on the sex scene for some reason. Can't decide whether I'm going to post it as a separate story or add it in to this story later. Not sure how much I like this story, which might be part of my reluctance to finish. It doesn't feel as well-constructed as the last one and there seems to be no actual purpose or theme to it. (Boy, do I sound pompous or what? Of course if you think this is bad, I have a letter from camp written when I was 9 that would kill you with laughter! So full of myself. Sigh.)
Well, here it is anyway. If you hate it, please tell me why so I can improve! Many thanks for reading, as always.
Title: Responsibilities
Author: Lukoni
Pairing: Remus Lupin/Bill Weasley
Rating: G? Possibly PG for flirting. :P
Warnings: None
Summary: Bill has given himself the task of lightening Remus's heart, but there are a few matters weighing down his own. Sequel to Convoluted Revolutions.
( ”Responsibilities” )
