I'd say the best thing was that he was what you'd expect.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I am now at liberty to share the fact that I sold a fantasy short story to Flame Tree Fiction for their Valkyries anthology!

Congratulations! I like the sound of that!

How would people feel about bringing the drabbles back? I nominate "Challenges/challenging" as our first new theme< if you'd like to do it .ETA: I wish "Physical challenge" is what it really felt like. There is something about the phrase that conjures up a buzzing game-show studio, surrounded, possibly, by the only tight hallways and steep stairs I'm ever gonna face. An expectant audience is waiting for me to take the prize. I wait to be judged with a gleaming smile and a light dew of sweat on my biceps.

I read in one of the threads Nilly saved for us that I never wrote "Places" I'm pretty sure that that version of me would find this version mortifying, but she's not here anymore, so who cares? And what's a couple decades among friends. [link]

Tep, since I'm so sure you couldn't get on with your life without knowing what "knots" made me think of, here that is. [link] I could have written more about my couple and whether they wanted to get married, ie, "tying the" but this is probably 100 words anyway, about people who just popped in my head. (If you guys give me a thread, I might take it, you know.)
