Dec. 29th, 2016 08:58 amI'm about 2/3 through reading the bandom holidays stories, and there's some good stuff there. I'll probably do some recs when I'm finished, but it always amazes me how challenges bring out such a variety of good stories.
I have to admit though, I've also been on a Musketeers kick again. It started when I was reading a story from the Musketeers big bang and just spiralled. I don't think I mentioned but I got a new Kindle fire for Christmas, and being able to easily look for and read fic out and about, but mostly, in the bath has been fantastic. It was a spiral that led me to some excellent h/c that hit me just right, apart from the slight ooc'ness going on. But hey, sometimes when you get in those spirals slight ooc'ness doesn't really matter. Though the crying did get a bit much at times.
Corey went back to Newcastle yesterday. Last week he arrived carrying his backpack and laptop, and yesterday went back with those, a huge stacker box filled with various things and books, a big Ikea bag filled with presents -- a lot of which was rum, and we also stopped off at Ikea so he could buy a bookcase, and Asda as he said he had no food in his house. So somehow we had to shoehorn in six bags of groceries as well as a few boxes of drink.
We're also going back today to take his computer chair and a clothes airer he keeps forgetting to take back with him. Corey's hosting a NYE houseparty with his house mates at the weekend, and I feel for his neighbours. James is also at work NYE and he's told Corey he won't be impressed if he sees any ambulances being dispatched to his address. So he'll be kept an eye on, sort of anyway.
Today I'm going to Metro Center with James to hit the cinema. Maybe spend some of my Christmas money, too. I desperately need new trousers, but I must slap my own hand if I even think about buying more dresses.
