Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

As usual, one just goes ahead and gets used to things, more or less.

( war and life )

TV: Am all caught up on Shrinking, The Pitt, Grey's (yes, still), most other shows I'm following. Started Young Sherlock, will probably continue. Started Vladimir, will probably not.

Raading: I have finished all of Ari Baran's books, have downloaded samples of basically every sports romance I could find recommended anywhere and am starting to explore them one by one, currently finishing E. L. Massey's Like Real People Do. Am definitely in the market for (a) sports romances you've loved recently, (b) general romances you've loved recently, (c) general novels you've loved recently that will kick me off this sports romance binge, and (d) your absolute heart-clenchingly favorite 20k+ Heated Rivalry fics.

(I read a bunch of HR fic after the show finished airing, and not really since. It's hard to find by kudos simply due to the massive volumes of kudos in this fandom and the bias towards popular fic posted earlier; I enjoyed various WAG-group-chat and epistolary/online media fics that I read early on, but at some point they started feeling a little repetitive and at this point what I'd really like is just: really fucking good long or semi-long fics that make you feel a lot of feels.)

My fic for flamingwell for last year's

fandomtrumpshate is finally completely posted! Flamingwell's prompt went far better than I'd anticipated - this fic was supposed to be about 15k! Hahaha. haha. haaa.. XD

Anyway, it's now complete and I'm really proud of it! I'm usually more of a fluff and humour writer, but this thing is angsty! XD

Summary: “Wei Ying!” Lan Wangji gasped, rushing forward.
Wei Ying was lying face down on the ground, an arrow protruding from his shoulder and blood staining the robes on his left side. At first glance it looked like he wasn’t moving at all, only the grey wisps of resentment still swirling around him, but as Lan Wangji knelt down he saw that he had been wrong. Wei Ying was shivering violently, his whole body a shudder. He made no sound besides his harsh breathing.
“Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji said again, gently touching Wei Ying’s back. No response.
“Fuck, what happened here?” Jiang Wanyin said, kneeling down on Wei Ying’s other side. “An ambush?”
--
As the Sunshot Campaign is drawing nearer to Nightless City, Wei Wuxian gets ambushed by an assassin and falls gravely ill. The doctors cannot help him, but Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji refuse to give up.
There must be a way to save Wei Wuxian.

Various:

--My mother tripped on her way to a concert (again) and fractured the bridge of her nose (again) and got up and went to the show anyway and enjoyed it while holding a plastic bag full of ice from the bar to her face (AGAIN). On the one hand I want to rage about her choice to just fucking carry on to the show, except on the other hand that's absolutely what I would do because I'm just as stubborn as she is, but back on the first hand she is seventy two years old and I am ~~in the prime of my youth~~ not. So I will just allow myself to be a little bit of a hypocrite about it, thanks.

--Melodifestivalen final is on Saturday. The lineup is mostly not terrible! I have no idea what the ultimate Eurovision pick will be, however, because I have given up on predicting the ~~mystery~~ that is the collective mind of Sweden (affectionate).

--I have been writing a deeply lemon-chicken fic for my new fandom but I'm fairly sure all the members of this fandom are too young to understand what it would mean if I tagged it lemon chicken. But I can glory in the tag in my mind. (Also I might not even finish it because there's no fun in writing an actual plot when I can just write my blorbo being hard done by.)
