vaznetti | an unexpected holiday (Reply)

Spartacus had chicken pox last week, and has his half-term break this week, so I have been enjoying an unexpected couple of weeks on a very light work schedule. Luckily these are the two lightest weeks of a light term for me! Last week was also unusually warm so I spent a lot of time in the garden digging up weeds and planting seeds and generally clearing some things up. Now it no longer looks quite so much like a disaster zone, although the lawn could already use more cutting (which will have to wait until the weather clears a bit, and until the garden waste bin is emptied so that I have somewhere to put the grass cuttings.)

Now the weather has turned cooler and wetter, and so I am finally uploading some very, very old X-Files fic to AO3; some of it is so old I have no idea when I first posted it. 2001? 2002? some time between 2002 and 2005? Why didn't I put dates on things when I uploaded them to my old personal webpage? And then there are the other questions, like: how did I expect this story to end? What was I even thinking? Why did I write a story about Alex Krycek and a piece of marble? Surely I haven't written the only Monica Reyes/Marita Covarrubias story on AO3? (I mean, I'm sure the answer to that last one is "not", but I typed in the pairing differently somehow.) Anyway, I feel a bit bad about flooding the fandom tag with old fic, but rationally I know that there aren't that many to post.

Tomorrow's project: cheesecake, because Shavuot is the holiday where some people pull an all-nighter and everybody gets cheesecake.
