This is my contribution to mctabby's latest incarnation of Blaming Each Other. It's a bit later than I intended. Computer problems + real life stuff. Also, apologies to wired_lizard for the pairing I stuck her with.

She wanted "Quirrellsex. That's all I ask. Quirrellsex. Pre-or-post possession, het or slash (although I lean towards latter), doesn't matter. He needs to get some." I completely agree; Quirrell is an amazing character, sadly neglected. He's better at Dark Arts than Snape, better at forestry than Hagrid, better at sniveling the Pettigrew, almost better at scheming than Dumbledore. I'd been meaning to write some Quirrelfic for a long time; particularly since I'd read her Go East, which is the only Quirrel there seems to be on FictionAlley.

Incidentally, the only Quirrell on ff.net is self insert. Entitled Quirrell Sex! Coincidence? I think not.

At any rate, this is wired_lizard's fault. ( Quirrell gets some )

It needs work-- I apologize especially for part 3, but I'm awful with Moody, I don't know why. I don't apologize for part 5, which is hands down my favorite.

Incidentally, I also got about 2000 words into a Bill Weasley/Quirrell story, which ranges from the halls of Hogwarts to the streets of Addis Ababa, and includes Newt Scamander, Snapesex, a creepy channish relationship with Percy, and purple turbans as gay pride insignia. But I realized it was attempting to become an epic, and would take me too long. wired_lizard can tell me if I have to finish it and blame that on her, too.

Aggh. Just realized I double-posted previous entry. morrigain, and everybody else, much thanks for the comments. I really need to get drivel working. blerg.

Real-life update? Sure. Friday night, went to birthday dinner for --C with sister, speakerender, and various others. They actually talked about something other than Achaea for part of the time, so 'twas some fun. Happy-late-birthday!

After dinner, we all went back to sister's apartment to watch her CoS DVD. Much funness. Although am regretting their knowfulness of my HP activities now. On the other hand, enjoyed squeeing about the Lucius/Arthur UST which is *so* obvious on second viewing. Besides, one of them writes really odd Lois&Clark fic, so I'm not the only one. It was the first time I'd played with extra DVD features, that was good. Although I got no H/D vibes from the B&B deleted scene. The deleted scenes were all *so* Harry/Hedwig. Really.

--C also loaned me a working keyboard. Yay! Thankyou thankyou!

Saturday was a historical geology field trip. We took I-70 and I-68 out to Sideling Hill in the mountains, stopping at all the interesting outcrops and roadcuts along the way. I have been itching to climb up on those roadcuts since I was about four, so this was something of a dream come true. And since there were actual geologists along, I learned stuff too. Had Cherikee Red pop from a gas station with lunch, which I had never even heard of before, but it was interestingly good. We also stopped at the quarry at Sandy Mile, a beautiful, intriguing place apparently known only to deer hunters and geologists. Learned about taphonomy and paleoecology. In other words, avoided rotting deer carcasses while climbing talus slope in search of Devonian fossils. Found some, too, including a big chunk of tab coral.

Afterwards, I wandered around Maryland Day for a few minutes, and got to see sister's shameignominy, which is a very fetching shade of blue. Then wrote for a few hours, and then slept till two thisafternoon.
