Hamburg: fun, but far too wet

[lavvyan]

In bullet points:

- I now has a Canadian mistress (again, welcome to the harem, chkc, and if I could I'd have taken her home and made her cook for me every day. ♥

- berlinghoff79 keeps making up reasons for calling me mean only so she can kick/hit/otherwise violate me. I maintain that this is, in fact, her being mean. So there.

- Hamburg was great. It would have been even greater if it hadn't tried to drown us on the second day.

- chkc, this is an American: You should try one, they're yummy!

- There won't be any Sherlock fic (or any fic at all, really) for a while, as I kind of fell hard and fast for Charles/Erik from X-Men: First Class even though I usually try to avoid anything with a colon in the title. Um. Your regular(ish) fan-service will be resumed later? Fic recs would be appreciated?

There is no American in this post! *demands*

Ahahaha, Charles/Erik, ahahahahahahahah, brb laughing FOREVER. Everything I've seen is porn; if you're suddenly looking for it, give me a holler. <3

[lavvyan]

An American has now been added for your convenience. *obeys*

IKR. My sister laughed at me for several seconds when I told her: "What, you're in an X-Men fandom now?"

*facepalms*

<3<3<3

Oh, is that what an American is? Is it squishy, like a doughnut? Or crispy, like a... um. Crispy thing?

I have no idea how I avoided the Charles/Erik bus, but I did. I see it, I totally ship it, but I don't need more than what I saw in the movie, apparently.

[lavvyan]

Squishy! We like our Americans sweet and squishy.

See, I wasn't planning on shipping anything. I was just bored. I've no idea what happened. D:

[kate]

Ahahaha, well, there's certainly enough Charles/Erik out there to last you a lifetime, so there's that. Think you'll write some?

Also, hahaha - sweet and squishy Americans! I resemble that remark. :D

[lavvyan]

I don't know yet. I've a semi-agreement with Nicole that if I do manage to put together a fix-it for the beach scene that isn't completely overdone she'll do art for it, but who knows if I'll manage that.

Not even a year left until I find out! ;D

[kate]

What kind of fix-it? Erik doesn't leave? Or Charles doesn't get paralyzed? Or both? I can't even imagine either of those things, but if anyone can do it, you can!

\o/ Trip planning ftw! My sister and I may be planning a big long trip where I would take a little side journey to visit you. I'm hoping we can make it work because halving the cost of hotel rooms = win.

[lavvyan]

Oh, no, neither. I absolutely want the h/c, but I want them to be able to compromise. To, I dunno, grow up just a little bit different than not actively trying to kill each other being the best they can do. There has to be a way to drop some of Charles's naiveté and keep his idealism, and to maintain Erik's somewhat self-destructive dark streak without having him turn into a remorseless killer. Haven't found it yet, though.

Hee! \o/ Well, if you can't make it work, I'm more than happy to go to whereever you're staying instead.

[kate]

Oh, no, it's all good - I'll get to you if I have to go alone, I just meant it'd be nice if my sis could come along on the trip. I'll get there! (Though if we're staying someplace cool, you could come to us, too, I know we're planning on Scotland and probably nothern Italy and maybe Greece.)

Ah, yes, okay. You know... there is a bunch of stuff in the comics canon about this, someone posted about it on LJ (Molly linked me). Hang on, let me dig up that link... here. I don't know if that will be useful to you or not, but hey. I'm the queen of random information. <333

[lavvyan]

Huh. Maybe I should start saving now? Though I would hold that thought re: Greece. They're experiencing an economic crisis right now, and while I'm sure the money from tourism is welcome, there've also been country-wide strikes on and off for months now. Might be a tad inconvenient to get stuck there.

Oooh, thanks for that! <333

[kate]

Well we've got time - hopefully Greece will stabilize by the time we get there. :D

Right there with you. It's like a brick to the head. I don't know what happened. I was completely happy with what I was doing, humming along quite contented, and suddenly... wham.

[lavvyan]

Yes, exactly! There should be a warning or something!

(That said, I really do enjoy the Hellfire series and admire your stamina in writing such a long, long thing without rushing it. ♥)
