Friday Five
1. Name five things in your refrigerator.

Three roasted potatoes. A noodle kugel. A styrofoam box of gnocchi ala capri. Mayonaise. Wine.

2. Name five things in your freezer.

Box of candles. Frozen spinach. Poached chicken breasts. Turkey carcass. Chicken stock.

3. Name five things under your kitchen sink.

Aluminum foil. Saran wrap. Dairy dishdrainer. Dairy sink rack. Oven cleaner.

4. Name five things around your computer.
Coffee cup. Empty bag for pistachio nuts. Paper. Chumash. Stapler.

5. Name five things in your medicine cabinet.
Benadryl. My "keeper". Jonathan's meds. Advil. Vitamins.

(I keep my meds in my bedroom or on the dining room table because I'm supposed to take them with meals.)

I've only just started reading it, but the writer is very good and it's wonderful.

Time Shall Not Mend by AJ Hall (aka [livejournal.com profile] ajhalluk.)

It's part of a series of HP slash stories (note - in this series, she has not been more explicit than a kiss between the established couple) featuring the unlikely pairing of Draco and Neville.

Even more unlikely is that this particular entry is a crossover with Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosiverse. Starring Ekaterin. And that, despite the desparate times and the fact that one is purely magic and the other is hard sf, it seems to be working thus far.

You absolutely have to know the LMB universe to enjoy this, but I don't think you need to be a slash fan at all.

I finished the story.

Okay. I liked it. It wasn't fraught with meaning and I have problems with some of the plot points Spoilers ) but watching Draco fit in so very well on Barrayar, except for the whole uniform thing, was a lot of fun.

It was a...snack. Fun, but not a meal. And I didn't like that Ekaterin called the profesora "Aunt Helen." I also think Nikki would call his stepfather "Lord Miles". But that's just me.
