I'm browsing the list of Yuletide requests to see if there's anything I can write a quick treat for, and holy shit there's a lot of Kings requests this year. Hopefully this means someone else has written some of them! I'd try, but the shadow of my abandoned epic alternate season 2 still hangs over me.

There are also a handful of requests for Hainish Cycle fic, and of course since this is Ursula K. LeGuin, most of the request details are things like "how do they draw on their commonalities, as people who have seen their societies upended?" and "It's intriguing how her own upbringing chafes against the ideals she helped create" and "my fav things about the series are the interesting alien ethnographies/anthropological bent"--wonderful prompts, every single one of them a story I want to read. But then I scrolled down a little more and saw this:

"WHY DID THEY NOT KISS.

MAKE THEM KISS."

--and I felt like I was home again.

I got some more work done on my applications! Now I'm drinking vodka and rereading Little Men for the fiftieth time. Life is a pretty sweet fruit.

--oh god, I forgot that there's a part in this book that includes the passage, "Suck it," ordered the Doctor. Like with that capitalization and everything. I can't complain that this is sullying my childhood, because I ship Dan/Jo so clearly I have sullied myself just fine without any help, but...dang. (Shipping Dan/Nat doesn't count as sullied because I have never not shipped them, even when I was six years old. The crossgen pseudo-incest took me a little longer, though.)
