#ramses x nefret

Ramses looked a little sheepish. It’s hard to tell, I admit, but I have been making of study of his expressions, such as they are. “Sheepish” is two quick blinks and a slight compression of his lips.

get to know me meme, agged by @maple-clef; thank you kindly! (Sorry it's taken so long.)

Last song: All Soul's Night by Loreena McKennit, because it's that time of year (of course it's always Loreena time).

Last show: That I binged? Not that I ever binge really, but... I think it was Miss Scarlet and the Duke, season three.

Currently watching: Father Brown, Poirot, Josh Gates's shows (Expedition X tonight!), Hallmark movies, and Murder She Wrote. Trendy I am not.

Currently reading: Resuming my chronological reread of the Amelia Peabody mysteries, with Guardian of the Horizon. Means dragging out the whole Ramses/Nefret will they/won't they drama a bit longer, but since it's my second time through that's not a big problem. I'm in the mood for something seasonal but my pickings are a bit slim that way. A reread of Practical Magic would not be an ordeal, however, come to think of it. (A rewatch too!)

Currently obsessed with: I don't have much in the way of obsessions these days. :( I need to get some.

no pressure tags! @misscrawfords, @thevintagetiger, @therealbucky05, @mrstindog, or anyone else who wants to.

“I’m sorry if I was rude,” she said. “No more than usual.” “Thank you for being there when I needed you, my boy.” She put an affectionate hand on his arm and smiled at him. Ramses stepped back. “Not at all.” “Don’t be angry. I said I was sorry.” “I’m not angry. Good night, Nefret.”

I knew perfectly well whose idea that “rescue” expedition had been. I leaned forward and brushed the curls back from Ramses’s forehead. He hates it when I do that. “You meant well,” I admitted. “But I find it difficult to forgive you for bringing me back in time to dine with those boring people.”

They went on, with the cat stalking after them. Ramses knew Nefret was angry with herself for probing that old wound, and with him for refusing to talk about it. No doubt she was right, it would have been better to get his feelings out into the open and accept the consolation she was aching to offer; but reticence was an old habit that was hard for him to overcome. A damned annoying habit too, he supposed, to Nefret, who never left anyone in doubt as to how she felt about anything. A little moderation wouldn’t do either of them any harm.

“And I would never stand in her way if she truly cared from a man who was worthy of her.” “Wouldn’t you?”

“You aren’t fool enough to fall in love with a girl who doesn’t love you. I will not admit my feelings until she shows some sign of returning them. So far I don’t seem to be making much progress.”

🧠🌙🏅

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

Oh boy, so so sooooooo many... There's the one I scribbled down after watching the first Enola Holmes movie, and remembering how in COPPER BEECHES Sherlock tells Violet Hunter he shouldn't like any sister of his to take Jephro Rucastle's wacko job offer. So that had me thinking of Enola going undercover as a governess to carry out an investigation (me being me, there would be some kind of HOUND-like spooky shenanigans going on), and Sherlock going undercover as a groom, ala SCANDAL, to be close at hand in case of trouble, of which there would of course be tons.

Still love the idea but no idea if anything will ever come of it. Same with a couple of Superbat AUs, both mysteries. One is an Agatha Christie-style manor house mystery, set in the 1950s. The other would be more of a thriller, where Clark is part of a true crime program doing a show for the 25th anniversary of the still unsolved murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Bruce, naturally, wants nothing to do with it, but when (Option A) Clark uncovers new evidence, or (Option B) the killer/someone claiming to be the killer, contacts Bruce and starts a sinister cat-and-mouse, catch me before I kill again game, the two of them join forces to solve the mystery. The biggest hold up for both fics is that they really need to be of the no-capes variety, and I'm just not sure how to write them, Bruce especially, if Batman and Superman aren't in the picture.

There are also plans to do the sequel to "Curses Foiled Again," where they team up with Constantine to stop the Ouija Board Killer. There's the X Files fic I never completed but still think about from time to time, where they're mixed up with the Cthulhu Mythos. Not to mention a sequel to my Ramses & Nefret AUish fic...

Don't even ask me about this Star Wars western AU that flits across my mind at times, that would sort of be like Magnificent Seven, except in space...

:sigh:

🌙  What time of day do you prefer to write? Why?

Mornings are so-so, but late evening is really the best. Mainly because there are fewer interruptions. The only drawback is bedtime, and how ideas will continue to churn when I really should be sleeping.

🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).

My daily kudos email from AO3 gives me a happy buzz every morning, as does any comment that might turn up. It's a bit mystifying why either one occurs, since these are all old fics (some have been up there for more than a decade), and I have no idea how anyone even finds things like Disclosures or Clark Kent Kissed Me. It's a treat to know folks do unearth them, though, and find them pleasing. Lately it's been particularly pleasing to see my Trinity threesome fic, When You Least Expect It, getting kudos. That's the last fic I wrote that warranted an explicit rating, so it does my ego a bit of good to know some people think it was kind of sexy. (When I first posted it on LiveJournal, some Anon mocked me for thinking I'd written something sexy -- "Nah, it's not sexy. But you tried." And yep, I remember the comment verbatim after all this time. It's not coincidence I haven't written anything that wasn't fluff since.)

Yes, well, let's finish on a happier note by saying I am incredibly pleased with myself for having pulled off Duck, Duck, Goose without ever going over the top. That is no mean trick when you've got Batman picking a fight with the Soulmate Goose of Enforcement. (Wasn't good enough for the Rec Center to include in their recent roundup of Soulmate Goose of Enforcement fics, though. Hmph)

Thank you!
