Moon dust smells like gunshots.
We took down the tree again, which I guess means I should probably break my holiday lj fast, ne? Actually I did so much and had so many good things happen and thought about so many things I want to write down or post about that the queue is jammed. Anyway. I had a good holiday, hooray! And I'm not quite caught back up on lj yet and I only read a bare fraction of the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide stories I wanted to read.
Oh! Speaking of, my yuletide present was Frontier Games by Jay![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tryfanstone, based on Frontier Wolf by Rosemary Sutcliff - it's Alexios/Hilarion and wonderful - Sutcliff really needs only about two pinches more hoyay for the slash to be textual, and anything more would just be overkill, but tryfanstone hits it just right; this is what would've been in the book if only it wasn't a YA adventure novel instead. It's even more amazing when you realize that she picked it up at the last minute and then had to dash around Edinburgh desperately searching for a copy! And it's still better than the story I had a whole month to write. (No, I'm not stalking her - that post was the first to come up on Google when I was trying to find a link to The Centurion's Hound, probably the longest (but utterly wonderful) piece of Sutcliffe fic ever written, which she did for yuletide afew years back. (She also has great Highlander stuff, by the way.)
Anyway! Traditionally when I've put off posting because I have too much to say, I re-open with a stupid meme. But let's break tradition -
(That's Darcy and Bingley andstellar_dust on the way back home after Christmas. Can you tell which is which? The expressions in the third & last picture give it away, if you know P&P.)

I passed! By a miracle. But I haven't yet seen anything that actually says "U hav ma-trikulated!" yet, so I'm fearing that there was some bureaucratic stuff that didn't happen that should've. That I didn't figure out because I didn't really believe it would happen. Or something.
Anyway, don't wanna. >:P
