Fic: Postscript (DW/Sapphire & Steel)

[thisbluespirit]

I've been really ill again (possibly even actually have-a-cold ill as well as the usual), but kind of amusingly, I drafted this up yesterday morning before I felt really awful and then managed to edit it today by the time the worst seemed to have passed. I'd worry about it, but, honestly, I think S&S fic works better if your brain is in a peculiar state at the time of writing anyway.

So, for no_true_pair "Day 9 - Clara writes Copper a letter" because Clara and an element is obviously a potentially interesting combination, but I couldn't see why or how she would write a letter. Inevitably, once I had decided the prompt was impossible, I went off and wrote it anyway.

Also for hc_bingo sqaure "atonement."

(I do mean to try and make a post about things that have been making me happy while I have been feeling so awful/mush-brained, but in the meantime, have some more no_true_pair fic, because clearly this is the most me-suited-fest I have ever taken part in and I need to thank corvidology a lot.)

Hope you feel better soon! And thanks for posting the story link.

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! <3

[liadt]

Sorry you have had double illness. I hope both wane *hugs*

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! Once I get as low as summer makes me, I just go round and round in this cycle of picking up stuff, or being knocked flat by every normal lower patch, and no matter how I try, it always seems to take until October or November to finally pick up again, withonly ever a tantalising day or two of okayishness in the middle of it all. But I can be wherever I like in my house in the afternoon and evening right now, and that's nice! <3

[liadt]

Hopefully we've done with heatwaves until next year and you can pick sooner than later <3

[thisbluespirit]

I always hope so, but it is pretty much never true! XD <3

[singe]

We're SO CLOSE to the end, the anticipation is making us feel worse.

[thisbluespirit]

No, I was definitely just feeling worse regardless! It's actually quite coolish here already. I hope you get autumn soon! <3

[a_phoenixdragon]

Sending all the love, healing (and writing vibes!) your way, dearest. :D

*HUGS*

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! It's been fun, at least being able to get some of these out anyway, and that is nice. <3 *sends you all the best wishes right back at you*

[corvidology]

Good to hear that you're enjoying no_true_pair and not good to hear you've been so sick. ♥

[thisbluespirit]

Well, the latter is a permanent feature of this time of year, but at least the former is new and helped cheer things up a lot! <3
