And we are. The latest wonderful entries being Raven's the winter here is cold, and bitter, a gorgeous spy tale set in the Vorkosigan Regency, and Philomytha's Uncle Simon, a delightful history of Simon and his nephew/son/friend/grey-hair-creator Miles ('ware CVA spoilers, though).
My new fic-in-progress "Thirty" has Simon in it, or will when I get to that part, but it's about a bunch of other characters as well, all having their thirtieth birthdays. I am still working on the first section (Mark) and since I'm in the early part of a busy couple of weeks I don't know when it will be done. But I'll get there. I just have to look a bunch of things up, and decide if I end with Piotr or if the tale loops forward again from him, and put words together. Oh, and stop Miles from stage-managing the whole thing (luckily he will find that hard to do once I start writing things set before his birth).
When too tired to write, I am enjoying reading the new Laurie R. King book and showing J. the "Lewis" eps in totally random order. And chatting with L. about the ones she's watching, in order. Yes, L., I will finish the "Life Born of Fire" essay. At some point in the future.
