Les pensées qui glacent la raison

I really like that piece of lyrics from Placebo's Protège-moi. I think I'll keep it tucked away somewhere and use it as a title for a fic some day.

Anyway. On to more important matters. Happy anniversary to the PotC fandom! Have posted Chapter Six of FoF to pirategasm in celebration. I just want to, again, rec the work of firesignwriter, who masters those characters unlike anyone else I've ever read. Her "Moonverse" series is particularly heartbreaking.

Anyway, here's chapter six of FoF.

I'm your toy, twentieth century boy

Well. Have not been updating too regularly, have I? That's all greenie_breizh's fault, really. She's keeping me far too happy. And when we're not exchanging cookie recipes, I've had to write. I'm proud to say both birthday fics were done on time! Granted has been posted and liked by Marion, so yay! Harshness, cold and deceit has been beta'ed and is ready to be posted on D-day.

On the English front: I'll be living in Grappenhall next year, a village not far from Warrington and Manchester. I got an e-mail from a German assistant I will be living with. I'll be working at Lynn High School. We attended a couple days' meeting in Besancon to prepare us for next year, it was most informative. I cannot wait to be there.

This weekend I left my flat for good. I won't miss the place so much as the people, though Nancy is a much finer city, in my opinion, than Reims. Still, it's good to be back here and see the family a bit. Will be leaving on the sixth of July to go to Rennes with greenie_breizh (she'll be leaving on the second). Have got my Sarkgasm t-shirt at last! Which makes me think I should write a small something about the last Alias episode. And HP3. And the end of Angel.

( Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban )

( The end of Angel )

And so, here is the first of the birthday fics. Written for Marion, aka samwise_gamgee_fan. Set after Buffy's season seven and during the War of the Ring.
