Buffy : You know what? I should have my own thanksgiving. I can cook the meal, just like my mom does, have all you guys over. It'll be great.
Willow : Buffy, earlier you agreed with me about Thanksgiving. It's a sham. It's all about death.
Buffy : It is a sham, but it's a sham with yams. It's a yam sham.

~~Pangs~~

I Am Blessed ...

.. even though I don't believe in blessings on most days ending in y. I have so much good in my life, and so many good people in my life, that some days I can hardly believe that the world has given them to me. 

Today in the U.S., a huge number of us celebrate Thanksgiving, and we do it with family gatherings that more than occasionally descend into chaos (both the good and bad kinds), food that generally involves a huge turkey, too much stuffing, too many mashed potatoes or candied yams, probably some green bean casserole and canonical pumpkin pie (I prefer squash pie, but that's me) and innumerable college football games. And although it sounds as if I am mocking all that, I am not. All of this somehow combines to make a good thing. 

It's also a day of mourning for members of First Nations and Indigenous Americans, who remember the landing of the Mayflower as the start of a centuries-long genocide, complete with theft of land, broken promises, broken families, and loss of culture. I don't want to write about my thankfulness, without acknowledging that the stories we learned in elementary school about The First Thanksgiving were so wrong as to be evil. I hope that those nations and tribes can find some glimmer of thankfulness in this day. God knows you deserve more than a little. 

Moar importantly, I am grateful for the friends I have in Chicago and Canada, and everywhere else. You are so loved by me. 

Finally, I am grateful to all of you here on Dreamwidth - whether you celebrated Thanksgiving last month up in Canada, down here across the U.S. or never at all in Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia, and everywhere else across the world. You have made my life infinitely more rich, more full of conversation, laughter, intent thought and completely spectacular funniness.  

Thank you. 

Thank you. 

Thank you.

ANGEL: What did you mean before? “The Beast is going to turn out the sun.” Is that some kind of metaphor?
MANNY: Sorry. I don’t speak “college boy”. I said what I meant. This Beast you’re talking about? He’s looking for a way to put an end to daylight. He wants to blot out the sun permanently.
ANGEL: You’re saying once the totems are dead, the sun disappears?
MANNY: Not disappears, exactly. And it’s not just killing us, either. There’s props and a ritual and a chant and a thing and a… suffice to say, it ain’t easy. And folks in the Ra-tet, they got some serious juice which is why I never felt worried before.
ANGEL: But you’re worried now.
MANNY: Well, four out of five down… let’s just say I’m not looking forward to my retirement in Boca.

Title: "The Bookshop"
Fandom(s): Doctor Who, Good Omens (TV)
Characters: Fourteenth Doctor, Donna Noble, Aziraphale, Muriel
Rating: G
Genre: General
Word Count: 1219

Summary: Shopping in Soho, the Doctor and Donna find a quaint old bookshop.

Read it on AO3.

Author's Notes: This is the DW/GO doppleganger crossover that no one wanted.

I seem to do that every few fics or so, write things that go in directions that no one wanted them to go. I suppose it's a good thing that I don't care. :D

I've wanted to write a Ten-meets-Crowley fic ever since GO came out in 2018, but every idea I came up with seemed so cliché, the same as everyone else was writing, so I never bothered. But, this week, I thought of this. And I made it Fourteen-meets-Aziraphale only partly because it's amusing to me to write a story which doesn't have either of the characters I originally wanted to write. Mostly, though, it's because Fourteen's timeline actually matches the GO timeline and there's a good reason for him and Donna to be in Soho.

To be honest, my husband is to blame for this idea. He found a list of words online and suggested I use them as prompts for stories, and the first word on the list was "hubris". That and a comment he made a couple of days ago about the Doctor probably being able to see the demons' and angels' wings even when they're hidden (because they are more metaphysical than physical) sparked this.

I'm noticing, in my attempt to write a story a month, that while I'm spending most of the early part of the month working on completing WIPs, I rarely ever actually do so, and that what I end up posting is usually some idea that comes to me on the 20th and doesn't have enough time to develop well. It's actually really disappointing, the quality of my work over the last year. Maybe I need to work on trying to get the cool idea early in the month, to give me time to actually do a good job on the story, and use the end of the month (if I have it) to do WIP work. Or, perhaps, have some tripe ready to post, so that if I get an idea late in the month, I can post the tripe for that month and then work on the idea for the next month.

I just feel, though, that I'm just trying to game the system, which was not the intent of this "a story a month" goal.
