Summary: After the defeat of the Progenitor, Tony is surprised to find that Steve has changed his mind and would now like to take him up on his offer to relax in the hot springs. Steve, more depressed than Tony has ever seen him, would like to compare notes on their respective judgments and find out how Tony's been doing in his newly-sober life. He'd also like to reveal a few long-held secrets about his feelings for Tony -- and there's more than one surprise here.

Remember me? I used to write fic! This is mostly unedited, but also it's been sitting here for about three years and I mostly just wanted it off my hard drive. Thanks to Blossom for cheerleading this while I was writing it.

This is about 90,000 words of meta disguised as fic, about Judgment Day and about how much I hate Cantwell's Iron Man run. Steve and Tony spend this entire story conversing in the Avengers Mountain hot springs. Then they fuck. That is the actual plot. There is also a short epilogue from Steve's POV, coming soon. They go to a different room for that one.

(When I say "short," I mean "35,000 words.")

[F]irst wild beaver spotted in Norfolk in 500 years and Wild beavers may have spread further than we realise:

It is not clear whether the Pensthorpe beaver, whose sex and age is unknown, was illegally released into the reserve by activists using a practice known as beaver bombing. It is possible it wandered of its own accord into the Wensum – an aquifer-fed chalk river whose name is derived from the Old English adjective for “wandering”.
“It could be a naturally dispersing wild beaver,” said Emily Bowen, a spokesperson for the Beaver Trust, a charity that aims to restore beavers to regenerate landscapes. She said that there were established wild populations in eight areas in England at the moment.
Wild beavers have also been spotted in Kent, Hampshire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Hereford, she said. Norfolk has some captive beavers but none have been reported missing.

Maybe it's a sinister beaver underground conspiracy....

And if we are talking aquatic mammals, see also otters: otters’ revival in Britain. Still rare only 20 years ago, the charismatic animals are in almost every UK river and a conservation success story.

White storks to be introduced to, believe it or not, Dagenham.

A rather different story: voyaging owls: Two burrowing owls stowed away on a cruise ship out of Miami, and are now living the high life at a Spanish resort before returning to the US next month. We think they may have been in flight from being a threatened species in Florida....

Though much hath been written and said in order to render the Lexiphantic style ridiculous, yet it is surprising to see how it keeps its ground among circles of a certain kind, where even good sense is by no means a stranger: — let the following card witness, which was really sent by a gentleman to a lady, who had asked his company to tea and supper: — ‘Mr. F—-‘s compliments to Miss S—-, at your post meridian computation, be not fascinated with the ardescence of my bibulating in co, since anterior motives stimulate me to itinerate in a transverse direction. But after the diurnal operosity hath increased the delectability of Vesper, perhaps I may saturate a wonted appetite, by the contuding that petacious root, so nice an esculent, if humidated by butter, joined to mellifluous conviviality.’ — It was read twice before the lady found out that the writer excused himself from coming to tea, but would probably eat a roasted potatoe with her at night.

This is an offer of two bundles for Mongoose Traveller - one is a repeat, the other new (though based on a fairly old adventure).

MONGOOSE TRAVELLER EXPLORATIONS (from Nov 2022)
https://bundleofholding.com/presents/2025Explorations

TRAVELLER ANCIENTS CAMPAIGN (new)
https://bundleofholding.com/presents/TravAncients

The last time Traveller Explorations was on offer I said "OK - Traveller is probably the best-loved SF system out there, and the Mongoose version is VERY popular. You're getting a ton of stuff for your money. Need I say more? Unless you really dislike SF or the setting, or already have everything here, I'd recommend buying them."

I'm less sure about the Ancients Campaign - I was never a huge fan of the original Secrets of the Ancients, the plot was a bit linear and the eventual secret really wasn't incredibly exciting, and while it looks like there are some more plot threads to keep players busy they are definitely still going to need some nudges to keep them on the right track. Not all players LIKE long campaigns, and although this is relatively cheap it might be a good idea to sound people out before buying.

I have consumed SO MANY audiobooks this year. So many!

I wrote my longest fanwork ever, which is basically original work, and basically a novel. I'd love for people to read it to read it, or ask me about it,m or anything! I have also written a ton of other things, and am still working on a YT fic but should be done on time.

Summary:

Calar Brescia is the crown prince of Aethrennar, a fey-elf (eladrin) monarchy whose power reaches beyond the Nerathi Confederacy into the Feywild. He is everything one might expect from an eladrin prince: cold, selfish, arrogant, and beautiful.

Sir Aldaan Evir is a half-elven (elomeni) veteran of Nerath’s campaigns against its southern neighbours in Moro. Granted knighthood for his role in a recent campaign, he is regarded as a hero of Nerath, though his feelings on this valorization are mixed.

When Calar is kidnapped by unknown forces, Sir Aldaan turns up to rescue him. But from the very start, everything goes wrong. The two men are trapped together on an adventure through the dangerous changing lands outside of Nerath’s city states, and beyond, that will test their growing bonds of trust, and of something more.

My female main character just told someone she's dyslexic. News to me, but that's how my characters roll <3 and it may perhaps help ground something else about her as a secondary consequence of childhood struggles with reading.

I've read a lot but it's all professional overviews and such, not enough from people who actually are. Right now I'm looking for small things I can tuck in which will suggest dyslexia to attentive, aware readers without spelling it out. She is 32 and those who are closest to her will be well used to working with her needs.

A few childhood memories can be tucked in as well.

Another question for those with dyslexia, if someone suggests reading novels out loud to her, would that be likely to work or might there still be difficulties with following everything? I understand there's a range of differences but I'd like to have her be fairly representative that way if I do include that sort of scene. Or maybe he suggests novels and she asks for short stories?

I'd like to do better than just 'trouble reading' and consequently struggled at school.

Her possibly relevant characteristics (things mentioned on the overview sites) which can't change - she is very adept physically and has excellent spatial awareness, reaction times, navigation skills and such. No dyspraxia or ADHD. If there's any executive dysfunction, it needs to be limited and compensated for well. She needs to be quick-witted, adaptable and confident she can hold her own in conversation with people who are trying to get the upper hand too.

But so far there's only one scene where she reads or writes anything and that can be altered. It's almost like she's been trying to tell me this all along.

I hope this makes sense. If you feel the need to tell me how wrong I am, please be gentle with your vehemence.

TIA for any help.

We have been making small-molecule inhibitors of kinase enzymes for quite a while now in medicinal chemistry, and I would not even want to guess how many such compounds have been described in the literature. As an aside, this is usually the point where someone who’s been around as long as I have recalls that there was a time when people thought - not without some reason - that making such selective kinase inhibitors might not be possible at all. After all, you’re just hitting an ATP binding site in all these enzymes, and y’know, how different can they be from each other? It didn’t help that some of the early kinase inhibitors were indeed blunderbuss compounds that inhibited a wide range of the enzymes, but in the end, getting selectivity (while not trivial) was generally possible, at least to useful degrees.

And in more recent years we have been spending a lot of time and effort in this business making targeted protein degrader molecules, hijacking the normal cell pathways that lead to protein turnover to send specific proteins to the shredder well before their time for our own reasons. I’ve written many times about this here, and will doubtless write many more, because this is still very much a work in progress with a lot of unknowns. But the overall idea of being able to make proteins basically disappear rather than just clogging up one of their binding sites is very interesting indeed.

Those two things might be more related than we thought, though! This new paper builds on some scattered reports over the years that some kinase enzymes seem to have shorter half-lives in cells once they’ve been exposed to small-molecule inhibitors. The authors studied this pretty systematically and found that this is indeed the case: looking at 98 different kinase enzymes with 1,570 inhibitors turned up 160 example of “inhibitor-induced destabilization”.

It’s important to make a mental distinction here: many proteins (kinase enzymes included) are thermally stabilized by binding to ligands. That’s the basis for a whole suite of assays that measure such stability changes with temperature, and often enough (although not invariably!) tighter-binding ligands make such proteins more and more resistant to denaturation/unfolding as the temperature goes up. But that sort of thermodynamic stability is not what we’re talking about in this new case - this is stability with reference to the cellular environment.

That makes it important to figure out what the basis for this effect is. In some (perhaps many) cases it may be that inhibitor binding changes the behavior of these kinases in their binding to chaperone proteins. Those are pretty ubiquitous in living systems, with some of the best-known being the “HSP” (heat shock protein) family that are upregulated under thermal stress to help keep things together. But even without stress there’s a lot of proteinaceous hand-holding going on to keep things properly folded and in the right conformations. Disturbing that could well be expected to lead to more vulnerability to the ubiquitination/hauling off to the proteasome pathways.

But the authors show that that’s not always the explanation. Sometimes it appears that inhibitor binding just puts kinases into conformations that are better targets for ubiquitination and degradation, and you’d have to think that there are evolutionary reasons for such behavior. Kinases (at least so far) seem to be more susceptible to this sort of behavior than other proteins, and their central role in maintaining or altering the phosphorylation state of other proteins makes them good candidates for layer upon layer of overlapping regulatory pathways. So this might be another one of them!

The paper also shows an example with the BLK enzyme where binding to an inhibitor sets off vulnerability to the gamma-secretase enzyme, which cleaves off a myristoyl group that is crucial for BLK’s membrane localization. Without this anchor it floats off into the cytoplasm and it’s apparently intrinsically unstable out there and gets cleared. So there are several pathways at work.

All of these modes of action - and who’s to say that there aren’t more - lead to ideas for pharmaceutical intervention. If we’ve inadvertently been changing the cellular stability of some enzymes by inhibiting them, then we should probably get a grip on that process so we can exploit it on purpose. Chaperone dissociation, exposing new protein surfaces to degradation tags, changing cellular localization - these are all pathways that we could potentially use to our advantage once we get a better idea of how they work and which proteins are most vulnerable. There’s always more to do!

A while ago I wrote a media roundup for November. When I got to the part about novels I'd read that month, I started typing and typing and it got a little long. When I decided to split it into its own post, my comments per book got a tad long too. So I'm just going to dedicate a small post to each book instead!

We Both Laughed in Pleasure by Lou Sullivan

This is an edited collection of personal diaries by a gay ftm activist born in Wisconsin, who moved to San Francisco. He started writing his diaries when he was 11 in 1961, and he kept up with it until he died from AIDs in his late 30s, in 1991.

Lou wrote with incredible clarity for a horny, depressed teenager.

( Cut for several nsfw references in his journals )

I highlighted a bunch of quotes from his diaries, but I really liked this one, written 3 years after receiving his AIDs diagnosis, which he spent anxious that he wouldn't be able to publish his books/diaries in time:

So here I am, forty-two minutes into 1990, and "thankful" is not really what I am feeling. What I am feeling is amazed, inspired, relieved, amused. Here I am, long after I ever imagined. I remember telling Sasha Alyson that I could wait to be placed on his publication schedule, because there was no way I would be around in 1989. And now I've left 1989 behind! How funny! I feel such a sense of power and control over the future... that, a word I've hardly dared to utter these past three years.

He died a year after writing this entry. Memoirs and diary collections like his made me think about how non-linear the progression of your life is, how unpredictable and indifferent fate can be, and how there isn't a grand plan to follow, just a narrative you create when you reflect on and make meaning out of your personal history.

[WARNING: Those blessed/cursed with a dirty mind are going to find this post hee-LARIOUS - but should probably clear the room of innocents first. Remember, Santa is watching, kids.]

There's just something about this time of year, am I right? Crackling fires in every fireplace, romantic twinkly lights in all the trees, and of course, skin-tight Santa suits. Yep. This, my friends, is the season... OF LURRRVE.

And a good thing, too. After all, it makes us more giving:

And even when we're feeling a bit knotty:

... we know this is the time when its better to bury the hatchet, not leave.

Yes, it's the season for dropping the underpants of our emotional reticence, and letting the ding-a-ling of our love shine out.

(Oh, it's happy, all right.)

I guess what I'm trying to say here, my friends, is that Rudolph has a giant wang on his face:

And you've just gotta love that.

Thanks to Sarah L., Nick, Bridget F., Luke, & C for taking a firm upper hand with these rascally wrecks.

Literally the funniest thing I have read about the Heated Rivalry tv show so far (thanks to the Rec Center newsletter last Friday):

"With Hockey RPF the fanfic was for the romance and the sex, the things canon didn't provide. But in Heated Rivalry canon does provide. So logic dictates that the fanfic is there to make them actually play hockey." - (from bluesky)

It's not just me who wants more hockey in the hockey romance!

(Heated Rivalry is still not legally available in the UK; HBO Max is launching in the UK in March, hopefully it'll include the show when it does.)

Meanwhile my Rick Riordan reading adventure has come to the end of the 10 (ten!) books I bought on Kindle a decade ago for no reason I now remember, so I have been wrangling the local libraries to get more. I'm officially off sick today with this stupid cough, and resting / reading a lot.

I could be reading through the large pile of library Riordans ... but no
I could be reading one of the other four library books I have out that are due back this week ... but no
I could read one of the several books I already bought in December ... but no
I could go wild and watch the episodes-so-far of Percy Jackson on Disney+ (challenge my inability to watch anything by myself!) ... but no
I am actually reading a modern AU fanfic of Much Ado About Nothing and vaguely wondering about challenging my inability to watch anything by myself with the Tennant/Tate production

Davy met them at Bright River with a big two-seated sleigh full of furry robes … and a bear hug for Anne. The two girls snuggled down in the back seat. The drive from the station to Green Gables had always been a very pleasant part of Anne’s weekends home. She always recalled her first drive home from Bright River with Matthew. That had been in spring and this was December, but everything along the road kept saying to her, “Do you remember?” The snow crisped under the runners; the music of the bells tinkled through the ranks of tall pointed firs, snow-laden. The White Way of Delight had little festoons of stars tangled in the trees. And on the last hill but one they saw the great gulf, white and mystical under the moon but not yet ice-bound.

[...]

They opened the parlor and distributed the gifts before breakfast because the twins, even Dora, couldn’t have eaten anything if they hadn’t. Katherine, who had not expected anything except, perhaps, a duty gift from Anne, found herself getting presents from every one. A gay, crocheted afghan from Mrs. Lynde … a sachet of orris root from Dora … a paper-knife from Davy … a basketful of tiny jars of jam and jelly from Marilla … even a little bronze chessy cat for a paper-weight from Gilbert.

And, tied under the tree, curled up on a bit of warm and woolly blanket, a dear little brown-eyed puppy, with alert, silken ears and an ingratiating tail. A card tied to his neck bore the legend, “From Anne, who dares, after all, to wish you a Merry Christmas.”

Reader Chris Dawson has devised a tiling puzzle game with a twist: Players drag, rotate, and scale pieces to fill a grid, but each piece can be scaled to either 1x or 2x its base size.

“The scaling mechanic doesn’t just add variety — it fundamentally changes the maths of the puzzle space. Scaling creates a solution space that grows faster than puzzle complexity itself. In a minimal 4-piece puzzle [below], adding scaling provides a modest 3x multiplier. But add just 2 more pieces, and that multiplier explodes to 21x — a 7-fold amplification. This isn’t additive enhancement; it’s exponential transformation.”

Here’s a demo, and here’s the beta, with daily challenges. A multiplayer version is in development.

(Thanks, Chris.)

Cloudy all day today, rather than foggy. The newspaper was unbagged, but I got to it before it picked up dampness from the concrete. I took a walk in the evening and looked at people's decorations. Fewer inflatables, and none of the projections of swirling things that were big a few years ago, but almost everybody is using coloured lights rather than the white that was fashionable. And a lot of decorated trees visible inside.

In my current project, here are the bits I need to write before I am done with this chapter (I have been so close to finishing for two months now; I've just been short on time and mental mana):

The political route
- Finish the conversation with Damithi, which is a three part thing. First, the MC interjects during Damithi's convo with reporters. Then, Damithi and the MC play a game of Truth. Finally, if the MC impresses during the game, Damithi hands over what the MC wants. (If the MC doesn't impress, they get a partial victory instead).
- Plan and write the conversation with Erim Kyte. This one should be harder than Imaric's, but easier than Damithi's.
- Plan and write the blackmail scene with Erim's paramour.

Plan and write the council meeting and the vote on Feylon's plan. At some point during this meeting, I need a good enough cliffhanger to entice readers to buy the book. That cliffhanger will likely be the announcement of the vote results.

Double-check my logic to make sure everything is resolved correctly.

Test for errors

It both is and isn't a lot. I just need to sit down and write.

Slept until 11:00, then got up because the wristband on my Fitbit came off. I was fortunately able to reattach it without too much trouble. Then I went and had breakfast and coffee.

I puttered online until 1:30 when I went to the Starsky and Hutch Creative Work session. It was very nice, there were five of us there, and we had some good conversation. Didn't get any writing done though, sadly.

We chatted til a little after 6:00. Didn't do much of anything, though I texted with

mashfanficchick, until 7:00 when I Teamed the FWiB. Again there were technical difficulties but again, we finally got through.

At 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine, and unsurprisingly, really looking forward to Christmas and Christmas Eve.

Talked with the FWiB a bit longer, then got off and had dinner.

Then went to the bedroom and played solitaire.

Fed the pets at 10:00, and started here.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. The Starsky and Hutch fandom.

3. Warm cozy apartment.

4. My pets.

5. Didn't have to go out today.

6. Middle Brother is happy.

Current Mood: good

1. I have recently ordered multiple things off Amazon that are not at all urgent, and they're offering good rewards for getting them delivered after Christmas rather than before (most have been 7% cash back but the most recent one was a $2 ebook credit). So now I have a ton of stuff arriving on the 27th. D:

2. I finally got all of Alex's books repacked into nice boxes and stacked on the new shelves I put in the shed. It's looking so much more organized. I ordered two more sets of shelves (one of the above-mentioned purchases) so then there will be three sets on each wall, which will mean plenty of space for long-term storage as well as things like toilet paper and paper towels, which we buy from Costco and they come in huge packages that are too big to store the whole thing in the house.

3. I love getting these shots of Gemma looking out the window.

I have decided today I am not liking the AUs I am reading
because AUs don't take the hurt person from the canon I know and find a way to help him
they just wave a hand and make him never no more have been hurt in the first place, as if that is the only way.

Reminds me of a stupid time travel movie I saw once where every attempt to change the past just made things worse until they undid ever meeting in the first place. Like the story really wanted there to be no way forwards, only unmaking.

I reject that entirely.

Unfortunately for me I am reading in one of those complicated nested sets of canon that changes between media and gets rebooted a lot, so the character with the same name hasn't the same anything else, including wounds. Which is probably nicer for him, but.

... calling that AUs doesn't seem quite right. Alternate canons? Alternate canons set in canon alternate universes? Fiddly to name.

I have a few tabs open that just throw Jack Harkness at him. Ideally that can be like a happy little reward. ... but if they actually go with what the crossover has in common it'll be horror where one person can die repeatedly and the other can feel very about it.

Guess I shall see.

Anyone want anything? Drabble, meta, rant, ridiculous lyrics that scan to I Had A Little Driedel, complete bullshit about a topic I know nothing about, etc? ;)

Reading. ( Scalzi, Bourke, Barber + Bayley, Boddice, Cowart )

Writing. I have a document that contains the outline and extensive transcribed quotations for the Descartes apologia! ... it's already over 5000 words long! And that's before I even get into the argument about Against New Dualism! I think. It is going to wind up needing to be split into two essays. One of which is the quotations about How People Summarise Descartes + What Descartes Actually Said, and the second of which will then be the polemic about how you don't get to rail against mind-body dualism if you then replicate it unfailingly with commitment to the absolute separation of central sensitisation and peripheral nociception. With the former as non-essential background reading for the latter...

Watching. Encanto, courtesy of The Child. I had retained approximately none of the plot from the Encanto-flavoured Baby Yoga we did together recently, happily, and also I Did A Cry. (I am also genuinely impressed that "fish is in terrible bowl" was an indication of where things were going...)

Listening. The Instructions For Getting To The Child, while cycling, via the bone-conduction headphones. V pleased.

Playing. The Little Orchard avec Child! Using some definite House Rules. Also being Someone With Long Arms for various self-directed play. I continue to be told Many Numberblocks Facts. :)

Eating. I put in an order with Cocoa Loco, maker of My Favourite Chocolate For A While Now, for the purposes of A Convenient Present; I also acquired, because Why Not, a single brownie portion and the cocoa nibs & hazelnut bar. I'm not sure I think the cocoa nibs particularly enhance the experience but I do like the Good Dark Chocolate With Hazelnuts of it all; I think I prefer My Default Brownie Recipe to their brownie BUT I also think that having a bag-safe well-wrappped calorie-dense food was extremely valuable in the context of some of this week's more questionable adventures, and I did enjoy it a great deal while I was, you know, inhaling it.

Exploring. BIG HECKIN BIKE RIDE. Many fewer birds along the canal than last time I did that route (on an unseasonably warm day in April); extremely excited to confirm that Walthamstow Wetlands is Within Scope for a trip At Some Point, though possibly not until it's warmer again.

And then today I learned of the existence of and attended an event at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre, just across the bridge from Blackfriars, which they blurb as "The London LGBTQ+ Community Centre is a sober, intersectional community centre and café where all LGBTQ+ people are welcome, supported, can build connections and can flourish." They have comfy sofas and a permanent clothes swap and a wee library and a very large bookshelf full of boardgames, and a whole bunch of structured social groups as well as walk-ins. I am charmed, I am pleased with my purchases (including MORE BULLSHIT CERAMICS), and I... am contemplating maybe actually getting myself out to some more of their events, not just when I have a friend visiting from abroad who suggested Attending A Market.

yuletide_pinch_hits

This post is no longer being updated, but see below for request details if you are interested in treating! For all pinch hits currently needed, see https://yuletide-pinch-hits.dreamwidth.org/tag/currently-needed

This pinch hit is due two days after the main deadline; it's due at Friday 19 December at 9pm UTC.

CLAIMED - PH #121: SMPLive, Roughhouse SMP, Mirai SMP - XYouly, Highcraft (Web Series)

Request 1 by serilly
SMPLive
Characters: cscoop (SMPLive), Traves (SMPLive), Joko (SMPLive), Worldbuilding (SMPLive)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I love Joko/Cooper, they have a really fun dynamic that's like "when I like a guy so I have to psychologically torment him about it". I'm always interested in reading about them.
I also just love Travis in general, I think he's a very fun character.
SMPLive's world also has a lot of fun underexplored aspects for worldbuilding both from a metafictional (hits, the wheel, chats and the court system) and fully in-universe (the bread/void/salmon cults, Spawn City's economy, the server cop mechanic) perspective.
Likes: Fish hybrid Cooper, dog hybrid Travis, goober Joko (skin color matches emotions), courtroom drama, worldbuilding, shenanigans, light metafiction
DNW: RPF, explicit sexual content, power dynamics, chatfic, unrequested setting change AUs, superpowers, kidfic, graphic violence

No letter

Request 2 by serilly
Roughhouse SMP
Characters: Pokay (Roughhouse SMP), RoastedJames (Roughhouse SMP), Wuna301 (Roughhouse SMP), Michaelmcchill (Roughhouse SMP)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I really really badly want to read Poke/James fic, there's like none!! I think they have a really fun dynamic, they're basically inseparable. I would say they're almost like the same mind in two bodies. They are infesting my brain lately.
I think this is my most wanted out of all my requests. There's absolutely no content for this SMP or these guys in general which makes me really sad.
I really like interpreting James as being like, very emotionally reserved and hiding it under being "the funny guy" and "the problem causer".
Likes: Alien (vaguely Slowpoke-esque) Poke, avian James, trans male James, mutual pining, chaos, avian courtship, the rest of Roughhouse terrorizing Michael, Michael/Luna as secondary pairing, Michael in general (he's really funny)
Other characters from RHSMP very welcomed as supporting characters, i.e. Beef, Dink, Burren, Crumb, etc!
As a heads up, if you include Luna in the fic, Luna uses they/them pronouns now, they used he/him when RHSMP was ongoing.
DNW: RPF, explicit sexual content, power dynamics, chatfic, unrequested setting change AUs, superpowers, kidfic

No letter

Request 3 by serilly
Mirai SMP - XYouly
Characters: Travis (Mirai SMP), Technoblade (Mirai SMP), Joko (Mirai SMP), Cooper (Mirai SMP)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

I am OBSESSED with the dynamic between Travis and Joko in Mirai SMP. They're very "toxic yaoi". However I'm really not a fan of the possession plot twist so please just disregard that entirely!
I would love to see some relationship study on how their roles sort of shift towards the opposite as the game goes on, with Travis hardening up and using his crazy emotional intelligence to read Joko like a book and Joko struggling to keep up his apathetic, intimidating persona.
Especially with how the underlying guilt Travis has with Cooper's death and his falling out with Techno plays into it. Super fascinating stuff.
I'd also really love to read an AU where they win and get out together with their plan to exploit the bounty on Techno.
The fic can be read on here or on Wattpad, no SMPLive knowledge is needed at all.
DNW: RPF, explicit sexual content, chatfic, unrequested setting change AUs, superpowers, kidfic, Amanda (I know she's canon in Mirai SMP, but I don't like that she is)

No letter

Request 4 by serilly
Highcraft (Web Series)
Characters: wtbarce (Highcraft), traves (Highcraft), JOKO (Highcraft), cscoop (Highcraft)
My gift must feature one or more of my chosen character tags (giver's choice)

This series is mostly episodic, so you most likely won't need to watch all of it if you've never watched it.
I have a couple different ideas in mind:
- Building off the SMP and "I raised his property value" where Cooper rebuilds Joko's house in the sky could be fun
- I love the modded episodes, especially the more fantasy-based ones like the Aether and the Twilight Forest ones, I'd love to see something based on one of those with worldbuilding and such
- I really love Travis and there's not a lot of good fic about any of his characters, so anything centered on him would be nice. A lot of stuff writes his characters as naive or childish when he's not and it frustrates me because I love how he's incredibly intelligent and can read people like a book despite his shenanigans. He's kind of a high int low wit type character.
Likes: Anthro dog Cooper, tired basemom Cooper or little bastard Cooper with no in between, Joko/Cooper, Travis/Barce, troublemaker Travis, adventure map worldbuilding, mod worldbuilding
DNW: RPF, explicit sexual content, chatfic, unrequested setting change AUs, superpowers, kidfic, graphic violence

Last week's bread held out fairly well until it did a variety of mould-related activity. There were still some rolls left, fortunately.

Friday night supper: Gujerati khichchari (with cashew nuts) which I do not seem to have made for absolute yonks.

Saturday breakfast rolls: brown grated apple: Light Spelt flour, molasses, a touch of ginger (this didn't really come through, probably overpowered by the molasses): rose like absolute whoah.

Today's lunch: the smoked haddock and pulses thing - smoked haddock loin fillets baked in cream + water with bay leaf, mace and 5-pepper blend, flaked and then layered with bottled black beans (would buy again), some of the cooking liquid added, top sprinkled with panko crumbs and baked in moderate oven for c. 40 minutes, served with baked San Marzano tomatoes, and slow-cooked tenderstem broccoli, finished with lime, some of which seemed less tenderstemmed than one might have expected.

Glögg

Glögg is a Swedish mulled wine that has been drunk since at least the Middle Ages. The word comes from the older glödg, which simply means heated. Nowadays it is traditionally served in December. Though you can buy it readymade, I always make my own, as I find the bought stuff too sweet.

½ bottle brandy
1 bottle red wine
1 bottle port wine (I use the cheapest possible of all three bottles of alcohol, as the spices dominate the flavour.)
25 grams of whole cinnamon
10 grams of whole cardamon seeds
10 grams of whole cloves
300 grams granulated sugar
15 centiliters of water

Lightly crush the whole spices and mix with the brandy After 1-3 days, strain and mix the brandy with the red wine and the port wine. Dissolve the sugar in the water on low heat, and add to the alcohol. Now it’s done, and just needs to be bottled. Will keep for several years.

Serve heated in small cups with whole almonds and raisins. Usually with gingerbread cookies and ”lussekatter” (saffron buns) to eat with it. In Sweden you can buy special cups for it, but cups meant for Turkish coffee are the perfect size.

The discarded spices can be re-used in a simmer pot.

You can play around with the recipe, and add other spices. This year I added two star anises and two tonka beans, some black pepper and allspice. Vanilla bean and dried orange peel can also be added. And you can use any sugar you like, this year it was a mix of rock sugar and some tonka-infused sugar.

Gingerbread

Mix together:
150 grams softened butter
2 ½ dl sugar
Add
½ dl golden golden syrup
1 dl cold water

Mix together in another bowl
8 dl white flour
1 tbl ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cardamon
1 tsp ground clove
1 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

Slowly as the flour mix to the wet ingredients until a dough is formed. Cover the bowl and let it rest in the fridge overnight, at least for 12 hours. Remove about an hour before you plan to bake. Roll out very thinly, like 2-3 mm and cut out with cookie cutters. Heat the oven to 175C and bake for 6-7 minutes.

If you wish you can decorate with frosting. The traditional shapes of the cookie cutters are hearts, men, women, pigs and billy goats, but whatever shape you want is fine. I have collected a lot over the years, but my favorites are a pig and a man cutter that once belonged to one of my great-grandmothers, so it’s over a 100 years old.

TIP: These cookies are a hassle to move to the baking sheet as they are so thin. So I roll out the dough directly on a silicone baking mat so I don’t have to move them.

Knäck (Christmas Butterscotch)

This is a traditional Christmas candy. “Knäck” translates to crack, and beware, these are delicious, but can be hard on the teeth and fillings.

You need equal parts of double cream, golden syrup (or treacle) and sugar. I usually use 2 dl of each. Pour into a pot and heat until boiling, while constantly stirring. Adjust the heat so it doesn’t boil over and continue to stir. Cook until 126-130C, or until a drop of the mixtures, dripped into cold water, is easily formed into a ball. Traditionally poured into small (like 1,5-2 cm across) fluted paper cups.

It’s very popular to add chopped blanched almonds as the last step before pouring, though personally I don’t care for that. But for the amount above, you would need about ⅔ dl unchopped almonds.

skygiants

On a lighter Parisian note, I read my first Katherine Rundell book, Rooftoppers, which I would have ADORED at age ten but also found extremely fun at age forty!

The heroine of Rooftoppers is orphan Sophie, found floating in a cello case the English Channel after a terrible shipwreck and adopted by a charming eccentric named Charles who raises her on Shakespeare and Free Spirited Inquiry. Unfortunately the English authorities do not approve of children being raised on Shakespeare and Free Spirited Inquiry, so when they threaten to remove Sophie to an orphanage, Charles and Sophie buy themselves time by fleeing to Paris in an attempt to track down traces of Sophie's parentage.

Sophie is stubbornly convinced she might have a mother somewhere out there who survived the shipwreck! Charles is less convinced, but willing to be supportive. On account of the Authorities, however, Charles advises Sophie to stay in the hotel while he pursues the investigation -- but Sophie will not be confined! So she starts pursuing her own investigations via the hotel roof, where she rapidly collides with Matteo, an extremely feral child who claims ownership of the Paris roofs and Does Not Want want Sophie intruding.

But of course eventually Sophie wins Matteo over and is welcomed into the world of the Rooftoppers, Parisian children who have fled from orphanages in favor of leaping from spire to steeple, stealing scraps and shooting pigeons (but also sometimes befriending the pigeons) and generally making a self-sufficient sort of life for themselves in the Most Scenic Surroundings in the World. The book makes it quite clear that the Rooftoppers are often cold and hungry and smelly and the whole thing is no bed of roses, while nonetheless fully and joyously indulging in the tropey delight of secret! hyper-competent! child! rooftop! society!!

The book as a whole strikes a lovely tonal balance just on the edge of fairy tale -- everything is very technically plausible and nothing is actually magic, but also, you know, the central image of the book is a gang of rooftop Lost Kids chasing the haunting sound of cello music over the roof of the Palais de Justice. The ending I think does not make the mistake of trying to resolve too much, and overall I found it a really charming experience.

There are few things in this world that can be stated with absolute certainty, but two of them are:

(By Jen's Party Cakes)

1) This polar bear is freakin' adorable...

and

(By CMNY Cakes)

2) These penguins ROCK!

Well, if penguins and polar bears are so great separately, doesn't it follow that they'd be even better together?

(By Cakes by Roxanne)

"But, wait!" someone will say, "You can't put polar bears and penguins together! They're from different poles! They are, in fact, polar opposites."

Well, someone -- can I call you "someone?" -- I say if we can put a man on the moon, then we can find a way to get these kids together!

We just need to find a mode of transportation.

Maybe the penguins could hitch a ride with an orca:

(By The Chocolate Moose)

...or grab the tail of a bright blue whale:

(By Cakes by Maylene)

A jolly gentleman with a recently emptied sleigh might stop by with friends and take a few penguins home for a visit:

(By Cakes by Samantha)

Or perhaps this cool chick will take a wrong turn using Apple Maps and stumble into a penguin colony:

(By Choccywoccydoodah)

Of course, if you think it might be too hard to get a polar bear to pull a sled full of penguins, we could always ask some sled dogs:

(By The EvIl Plankton)

Who knows? They might be tired of running around Alaska.

But maybe we're being too complicated. The penguins could just hop a ship:

(By Charm City Cakes)

They wouldn't even have to dock. Just pull up alongside a handy iceberg!

(By Highland Bakery)

...and voilá!

See, now that I've explained how we could make this work, it's not all that far-fetched, is it?

So the next time you find yourself taking a little vacation way up north...

(By Nice Icing)

...and you see this gang hanging out together:

(By The Couture Cakery)

Chillax. It's totally cool.

May your Sunday be super cool!

Does LLG need minigames? No. Do I really need to ensure each card game I'm creating for this story that isn't even about card games works? No. Am I doing so anyway? Of course.

The games are:

Frut (probably need a better name): A partner game similar to 31, but adapted for the Bard deck. Plus, instead of a stack with a single card, a hand is dealt to the table and the remaining few cards are removed face-down from the game. So card counting, instead of cheating, becomes strategy.
Maze: A solitaire game I'm still finalizing. It involves moving a marker over a 3x3 grid following specific rules to remove cards. The goal is to end with as few cards as possible. This I will genuinely just sit and play sometimes.
Truth: The latest. Basically like the drinking game, but you place a card face down when you state something you think is true of the other person. If you're right, they flip your card and it goes to your score pile. If you're wrong, they get your card and can choose to play it later or discard it. This is the game I'm currently debating even needing though it *does* make for an interesting scene...

Little enby. Big mouth.

When you post your story, please make sure...
