Oh, had a couple of fics to share:
Parched, a Mary-centric fic.
Also Pretty and Witty and Gay (in the same genderbend continuity as Sweet Damsel although set earlier).
The latter is clothing porn ... I'll often try to be comprehensible in the text when I talk about clothes and then maybe put more info in the endnote so that people understand what I'm getting at, but in this one I just went off pretending to assume that readers will understand what I'm describing and didn't bother to annotate, and it was really fun. Yep, stays with a stomacher, we've all seen them and know how they work.
I bought a bunch of bras online - on sale! - and several of them have straps that are just too long for me. Trying to decide if it's worth it to actually alter them or not ... I think it may be worth it because the amount of time it takes me to get myself together to buy things I need is horrible, plus it's always a crapshoot as to whether the straps will fit or not.
I also bought new Clairs from AD because the heel totally wore out on one of mine and was really dangerously bad on the other, and the new ones came with extra heel soles ... which made me go, oh, should/could I just write to Lauren and see if I could get a replacement heel for the ones I have? But then I can feel on the inside of the old ones that they're kind of chewed up in the toe (probably my large big toes' fault) and so is it really worth it to return these, patch the old ones up, and then have to order them again? Should I keep these in waiting and use the new replacement heels on the old ones? This is too much thinking!!! (I also ordered a pair of the Paris boots in black because I think they're awfully cute ... the heels have a small footprint which isn't great, but they're low, which is, so I think I should be able to walk well in them.)
Parched, a Mary-centric fic.
The sun comes in at an angle on the letter like a knife, highlighting the words “fond regards.” Fond. Regards. It makes Mary so angry that she could just ball her hands up into fists, shut her eyes, and scream at the top of her lungs. It’s a wave that goes through her and then subsides, washing out to leave her empty and trembling.
After Stede leaves home in the middle of the night, Mary grows and changes.
Also Pretty and Witty and Gay (in the same genderbend continuity as Sweet Damsel although set earlier).
When Ed had asked, “Do you want to do something weird?” she really hadn’t been thinking about anything but getting her hands on Stede’s fantastic wardrobe.
Things do not go as planned. (Because oops, she's hot.)
