I nominated some fandoms I'm excited about for this year's Yuletide, but given the workload on the new project (and some other factors), I've been putting off signing up. Part of me is not entirely sure that it's a good idea for my time management. If I'm stressed about making a gift on time, I won't even enjoy the process (or the gift I receive) as much. So I'm thinking about it.

Meanwhile, I'm taking a short break from playing Galaxy Princess Zorana and watching a bunch of Blue Prince videos on YouTube.

I'm sure everyone but me has already seen this, but I have to share it anyway - this is amazing!

Fandom: Genshin Impact

Pairing: Varka/Flins

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Word Count: 17,799

Summary: It ended with a night in a tavern, for somewhat reason Flins challenged Varka to a drinking match. He lost—or maybe he didn’t, because hours later, Varka found himself in the weight of him, pinned down like vengeance wrapped in silk and heat.

It wasn’t just of the alcohol.

It was half liquor, half mistake—and neither of them is ready to admit which half they liked more.

This fic was straight up PWP and I loved it!

It was written prior to the release of 6.0/Luna I, and Varka is still technically unreleased (he's been unseen in a few quests and then the Luna I trailer), but even with only knowing as little as we did of the two of them, the characterizations were very believable!

And the porn is straight up hot. It's drunk sex, just in case that's not your thing, and I really enjoyed the way it was done. And the after care final chapter is just *chef's kiss*

I just discovered that you can make the perfect peppermint hot chocolate with Ritter Sport Peppermint. (I expect After Eight mints or similar would work too.) It turned out super delicious, so I need to share the joy!

Proportions: 250ml milk / 25g Ritter Sport Peppermint.

Just put the chocolate into the milk and heat in the microwave in short bursts, stirring thorougly in between, until it's entirely melted. (It pays to use a glass and not a porcelain mug, so you can see whether it's fully incorporated. *g*) Add a little sweetener to taste. YUM. :D

Woohoo,

guardian_wishlist revealed this morning with over 60 new Guardian & related works!

There is so much fantastic new stuff, and I haven't had time to properly look at much yet, but I need to share the three fantastic gifts I got:

from awanderingcoyote, lovely Guardian/Stargate Atlantis crossover art with a bunch of inspired concept notes for a crossover that's also a fix-it/sequel to the Guardian ending

from facethestrange, gorgeous Guardian RPF art that brilliantly combines the implications of the infamous weight-lifting BTS video with an interview question that, as the artist says, totally could be real

and from nnozomi, an absolutely delightful ficlet about Jiajia and Professor Zhou (and Shen Wei, of course, in absentia), combining them in ways I'd never considered before

So so many thanks to all of you, and everyone else who is part of this fest! You are all amazing! ♥ ♥ ♥
