Happy birthday, my dear. May you enjoy good health, good books, and many other felicities the whole year 'round.

[100 words, G, Alys/Simon with a hint of past Bunter/Alys. ;-) ]


There was a vase of red flowers in their room. The bouquet had looked perfect to him when he turned on the lights, but it looked even better after Alys glided up to it and rearranged three of the blooms.

Her compulsive competence contained an invisible edge that intrigued him, but he'd held off asking where she'd honed her skills. Later, she showed him several vid pix of herself dressed in a peculiar costume, carefully rinsing and drying porcelain ornaments.

"Someone who understood you took those," he murmured.

"Yes," she said, and she let her head rest against his shoulder.

ETA 11/7: LJ has suspended the plagiarist.

LiveJournal's handling of the Thamiris plagiarism situation? A whole new class of FAIL.

In a nutshell: some clown has been reposting Thamiris's stories and LJ entries as his own, and LJ has claimed it cannot act against him unless a complaint is filed specifically by "a family member of the deceased user." The writer was not "out" to her family as a participant in fandom.

I never interacted with Thamiris personally, but The Water Horse (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, R?, 11000 words) remains one of my all-time favorite Yuletide stories. If you've not read it before, you're in for a treat.

Although the circumstances are appalling, it's heartening to see Thamiris's fans and friends working to guard her work and preserve her memory.
