I had a lazy morning that started at half-past two in the morning. And though I published a couple of fanficcery chapters, I still got in some snoozing.
And since I plan to take Mayhem to the post office to apply for a Tax File Number, I should get going real soon now.
So yeah. Once again, late fiction. But there's more on the shiny elf stories over on AO3.
Enjoy.
I may be gone for some time.
... here’s a question: If werewolves become... wolves... under the full moon, what would happen if you put one ON the moon? (Assuming compatible life support) -- TheDragonsFlame
Welcome to Tsiolkovski crater. No lycanthropes need apply. The second sentence had been added by a graffiti artist of no repute and was faded in the unrelenting sunlight. Lupe bunny-hopped past it on the way to the colony.
If this was what passed for jokes in this space-town...
She found the nearest airlock easily
Read more »The second-last Friday of the school year. Mayhem has his traineeship, and Chaos has one more week of a schedule before it all gets disorganised.
Mayhem can beg off going to Coominya, this year. He has work to get to every week. And I don't even know if Capt. S wants company this year.
I've just now shared a whole bunch of my fanfic links with Tumblr so nobody misses out on the pain joy I have to share.
And I've included

It was a nice little house. Cosy without being cramped. Light and airy without being exposed and drafty. It was, in essence, the last place anyone would expect to be haunted. And yet it was.
The living room was always rearranged on Tuesday nights, with the

It's just that it's way more spaced out than usual.
Who knew I was attuned to the school schedule this hard?
It's nearly seven and I haven't done shit for getting my work done. Mayhem has a Webinar tonight and a job tomorrow. It's going to be fun keeping track of those.

"You really don't want to do that," the humans insisted. "We've been down there a few times, and that was plenty for us."
The Trraka, a race of highly intelligent cephalopods, scoffed at this. It was

This is going to be fun.
I still have to be organised enough to get one little darling ready to take on the day whilst simultaneously getting the other little darling to do some minimums around the house.
All whilst also doing my day job, doing the yule shopping, organising the yule feast, and otherwise having some fun now.
I have already ordered the duck. I need

They were at the uppermost branches of a sky-raker tree that overlooked the human settlement of Wiwazheer. The first Terran city to share a planet with Havenworlders. Of course, when they built it, they had no idea. Neither the Humans nor the Numidid had any idea that they had started colonising opposite ends of the planet simultaneously.
"They are loud," said a

I have a dental appointment today, so that's going to stress me out some. I fully plan to bring my novel-in-progress with for the office wait.
Lord knows how I'm going to pay for it, tho.
We've not had a lot of free cash, lately. Which is worrisome for me, because having enough money to do things is kind of important.
And yule is coming
Read more »Humans are pack animals. We come together to overcome challenges that would overwhelm the individual. When we unite against a common enemy, we’re nigh unstoppable. -- TheDragonsFlame
They say that Humans are best in disasters. They do not mean that Humans make a better disaster by being added to the scene. They mean that Humans show off their best attributes when a disaster strikes.
Such as now.
The aftershocks had only ceased half an hour ago, but the humans had started

HOWEVER...
The Traineeship in Banyo continueth onwards. And that includes Thursday nights doing a webinar, and Fridays off in Banyo working on the thing.
So yeah, my weeks are about to get complex.
And I think I may have contracted MeMum's wog, so I'm making myself a small batch of ginger garlic chicken soup and mainlining that. OR it could be an overdose of dust and I'm overreacting, but best

Toveth was a shopkeeper on the Edge Territories, and got to see a lot more of the Deathworlders that inhabited the outskirts of civilised space. The humans were the most confusing. As Deathworlders, they ranged from anywhere between large and intimidating to small and

When I'm done with today, I'm going to add procedure into the pinned notice in my prompts arena. But it's going to be "if your prompt vanishes, I didn't do that. Just repost that mofo and be cool."
As soon as I'm done with today's Instant, I am rounding up the family and getting them all prepped to go see MeMum for a birthday visit. Which includes yarn

"Oozagoo' critter? Oozagoo' critter?" Baz continued chucking the alien life form under its chin. Its hind leg waved vaguely in self-scratching motions. "You is! Essoo'iz! Essoo'iz! Esso'iz such'a good critter..." Baz paused from adoring the alien beastie to check on her team of alleged xenobiologists.
They were all hiding behind a rock and some
