As is my usual practice, my latest book as Lauren is available for download for my DW circle for the next week or so!

Download from Bookfunnel.

The download will be up until the book goes live on Amazon on May 2.

(Technically this is Shifter Agents #6, but it's a standalone that shouldn't require any context to read.)

I will be going back to answer recent comments, but first, one more stray B5 thought with spoilers through 5x18.

For the New House by Ursula K. Le Guin

May this house be full of kitchen smells
and shadows and toys and nests of mice
and roars of rage and waterfalls of tears
and deep sexual silences and sounds
of mysterious origin never explained
and troves and keepsakes and a lot of junk
and a flowing like a warm wind only slower
blowing the leaves of trees and books and the fish-years
of a child’s life silvery flickering
quick, quick, in the slow incessant gust
that billows out the curtains for a moment
all those years from now, ago.
May the sills and doorframes
be in blessing blest at every passing.
May the roof but not the rooms know rain.
May the windows know clearly
the branch and flower of the apple tree.
And may you be in this house
as the music is in the instrument.

Another year has gone by! It's meme time.

First up, ordered by hits.

Annual AO3 Meme )

As is traditional to say: no huge movement and no new entries. I continue to be surprised at how many readers my H50 fics still get, and at how consistent the increments are annually. A fic that gets about 270 hits one year got about 250 the year before; a fic that gets 230 kudos this year got about 240 the year before. There does seem to be a comparative slackening in interest in MCU fics, though.

After the cavalcade of pain in recent episodes, I had a need for some comfort.

I have just watched through Babylon 5 5x16 and

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT JMS

I thought I was prepared but I was not prepared for the emotional roller coaster I have just been on.

I will write a post about that but first I think I need to lie down for a few minutes.

1. Who was your first crush?

Ah, Brian Ames. This was back in ...we were in primary school. A playground romance. We kissed each other on the cheek every morning and then went off to do our separate things for the rest of the day. That was sixty-five years ago, and I still remember his name, his wavy brown hair, the smattering of freckles across his cheeks, and his sweet smile.

2. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Never quite figured that out. There's nothing I love more than hanging out with my family and friends, although I do need a certain amount of time to myself to recharge. I'm at ease meeting new people and have no problem talking on the phone to iron out a problem. But I'm also amazingly content with just myself for company. You pick.

3. What is your favorite non-sexual thing you like to do with the love of your life?

We'll dig into a few memories here since the love of my life passed eighteen years ago. I don''t have to dig too hard.
Long walks holding hands. (nope, not gonna cry)

4. What is one quirky habit your partner does that either annoys you or makes you grin?

My basket is too full to even begin on this. Let's go with - I don't currently have a partner.

5. Do you believe in monogamous relationships?

I do. I believe a person can have many relationships during their life, but (for me) the one they're currently in should be monogamous. Not for any cultural or regilous reasons, but because how can you get to know someone if your attention is split between people? Unless you don't want to know them that well. I can sympathize the hell out of that.

That said, people gotta figure out what works for them. Relationships are hard.
