welcome to summer, 2008.

It's been a while, hasn't it?
Let's take stock:

New relationship (geeky bass player <3 even if he is being neglectful lately *pout*) Scratch that. -- 13 hours later. maybe i jinxed it no it's been a while coming but i hoped, you know, i hoped --
New apartment (two streets farther from campus)
New roommate (& 1 continuing but she's up north right now & the new roomie for next year won't be moving in until august and there's a subletter but she hasn't been around & i haven't even met her still)
New job (well sort of. i'll be taking a week off librarianing to be a counselor for the ucla summer chamber music thingy. i have to be a dorm counselor this time which is both frightening and off-putting -- but it's good pay)
New obsession (Torchwood, a spinoff of Doctor Who, and you probably haven't heard of either one unless you pay attention to British science fiction telly, although i found the Whoniverse via spinoff novels in the Yolo County Public Library long ago)

and then a bunch of same-old, same-old.

But I guess I missed livejournal? so I'm back for now. Also, i'm trying to make a new lj for fandomy stuffs & general creative processes. 's not ready yet, though.

Fic: Coffee (Harry Potter, G)

Title: Coffee
Author: Sigma (sigmastolen)
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G
Summary: A Remus monologue in which he doesn't quite say what he means. Between-the-lines RL/SB, if that's how you choose to see it. OOtP-compliant. Written pre-HBP.
Warnings: angst, presupposed character death
Disclaimer: Proper ownership goes to JK Rowling and her publishers. I'm just playing, and not making a red cent.
Notes: lifted from Fiction Alley: For Betsy, my beta, and her arsenal of post-it notes; Manda and Aya because I love them; and Malia -- she knows why. And for my mother, who makes me coffee at six in the morning because I'm a crazy bassoonist.

( I love the smell of coffee in the morning. Oh, I don’t drink the stuff. Gods, no. But he does. Did.  )
