you forgot what you meant when you read what you said.

I apparently haven't done the year-end questionnaire thing since 2011, which seems like a huge miss for me, in the sense that I can't look back at literally five years unless I want to muddle through the jungle of my incoherent Tumblr tags.

But! I'm gonna do it now!

Tonight we went to a New Year's Eve party thrown especially by people with kids, for people with kids. They rigged up a balloon drop that they did at 6:45 and we were home by 8, it was nice. Now we're back on our own couch, plowing through more of our third Office re-watch. It's the first episode after Michael left for Colorado and I have cried once a day, over the last several days, as a direct result of this rewatch.

Oh, livejournal. We used to be so close, and now we’ve reached a point where I didn’t even tell you I was pregnant with our second kid. Whom I’ve now had. And am finally telling you about.

This seems like the sort of thing I’ll want to have a record of, in a “going back and reading old livejournal entries” sort of way, so you can have the whole story, right from the beginning, for the sake of posterity.

keep the car running.

Hello, Livejournal! I haven't forgotten about you, and I still read my friends list, I just haven't posted in a while! But!

All right (and I actually told Tumblr this yesterday here), so, yesterday we got married, and I feel like I should probably write about that briefly, if only so I can remember it years down the line when my memories of it have been replaced by, like, my shopping list for the supermarket on the moon, and simple hoverboard repair techniques.

title: Good, Brilliant, Spectacular.
fandom: Doctor Who.
pairing: TenToo/Rose.
rating: Adult.
words: 1,456.
summary: Happy, smutty TenToo/Rose fluff.
notes: Written for Ania's birthday, over on Tumblr!

It's months and months and months after Norway that it strikes him.


Months filled with beds and kitchen tables, storage cupboards and balconies, every sofa they've ever occupied alone for more than an hour.


Shouts to the ceiling and filthy words, bit-back gasps and teeth sunk into shoulders to muffle groans.

fandom: Doctor Who.
pairing: Ten/TenToo/Rose, together.
rating: Adult.
words: 4,683, this part; 9,839 total.
notes: This was written for the time_and_chips 2012 Advent Calendar, and is actually already complete, part 2 follows on right after, I was just hampered by lj's character limit.

summary/intro: The metaphor extends, the needle tripping ever closer to the end of the disc, and he’ll need to go back to that other universe once it’s played through.

Follow the cut!

fic; doctor who: Gallifrey Records (3/3. rock band AU.)

title: Gallifrey Records (part 3/3)
co-author: gallifreyburning!
fandom: Doctor Who.
pairing: 10/Rose, ROCK BAND AU.
rating: PG-13, this part.

notes: This was written by gallifreyburning and allrightfine (that's me!), in a "fic tennis" style, where we take turns with the story. (The prompt photo is under the cut, but for a version with the breakdown of who wrote what, you can read it on Tumblr here, too!)
summary/intro: An alternate universe where the Doctor is a rock star, and Rose Tyler is his most recent opening act. Kissing, farewell tour angst, and just about everyone and everything we could fit in from new (and old!) Who.
previous sections: part 1. part 2.

As Rose suspected might happen, the Doctor didn’t kiss her again, and he certainly didn’t ever mention the incident aloud.

Neither did she.

The gig wasn’t until 9 that night, with an early morning load out tomorrow, which meant an overnight stay in what was probably going to be some posh resort.
