crossover_chickToday is something a little different -- your first look at fic from the Pern Crash AU that keeps poking me! :D And from Moonlight's perspective, no less:
Day Two:
Victor and Alice were tacking more dead plants on the wall. Moonlight didn’t understand this – why did their nest need leaves all over it? – but he did like that they were singing as they did it. Singing was fun. He fluttered over to Victor’s shoulder and joined in, warbling away.
Victor laughed and petted his nose. “Excited about Christmas, Moonlight?”
Christmas? He’d heard that word before. Right before they’d saved Snowflake’s egg. Moonlight peered at the snoozing lump in Alice’s apron pocket, then chirruped and nuzzled Victor’s fingers. A new fair member, and lots of singing. Oh yes. He liked Christmas.
I haven't sussed out all the details yet, but Victor and Alice are in London at this point, post Alice's defeat of Bumby. Alice and Victor have been friends for a while, and Alice grew to quite like Moonlight over their friendship -- enough so that, after Bumby met that train, she told Victor she'd like a fire lizard of their own. So they went out to get her one as an early Christmas present. Alice got worried about one egg that rocked and wouldn't break, convinced the seller to give it to her, and broke it open herself to get her white fire lizard, Snowflake. He's a tiny thing, but well-loved. :) I'll tell you more about the verse once I've got it properly settled in the brain. I really do think I'm gonna end up doing a series of ficlets about it.
Day of preparation, mostly -- I'm heading up to CCRI for my class tomorrow, which requires an early wake-up time. Bleeh. But that's the sacrifices you make. I'll survive -- and it's only for three days this week and three days next week. And hopefully it'll all be worth it in the name of gainful employment. At any rate, I did the vacuuming a day early (usually do it on Tuesdays, switching to Mondays for this week and next), helped hang up the laundry, went to the bank so I'd have cash to buy my next 15-ride pass, packed up my backpack -- I'm basically good to go. And I finally got my Discworld books today (I ordered some before Thanksgiving), so I can start on "Going Postal" on the bus ride in. If I'm awake enough, of course. :P
On a sadder note --![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
mallowhallow seems to have officially died. We've gone a month with no activity, and -- yeah. I did try to get things going before, but I just don't think the comm was holding anyone's interest anymore. :( I've put up a farewell message and officially taken Victor out. It was a good, if short, run, and I did have a lot of fun while I was there. I just wish I'd been able to get the comm to hold people's attention better. *sigh* Live and learn. (Sorry, Moose, that we never really did get that sleepover -- Victor really appreciates that Pinkie contacted him after that nightmare about Bumby.) I'll probably just keep him to memes for now -- after all my free time's going to be a bit curtailed at the moment.
Anyway -- have tags to answer on tumblr, and bed to get ready for -- night all!
