Music Monday: Singularity by V of BTS

Today is V day in the BTS fandom, the birthday of Kim Taehyung. My favorite solo song of his (in fact the only one I like) is Singularity.

Watch on YouTube

V has a deep voice and an interest in jazz. Also many of his songs have 'winter' as a theme. He had a pet Pomeranian who was much beloved by ARMYs who recently died. I made him a torch singer who solves a riddle in this fic (and there are murders).

And he's a very handsome man. He's currently serving in the military and has gotten rather beefy (compared to pre-enlistment).

Into the void: cookie butter edition

I tried a new recipe from the grocery story magazine. Cookie Butter Bars.

It uses Biscoff Creamy Cookie Butter which is a spread made from those cinnamon cookies you used to get on Delta flights. Minor doesn't like chocolate and is allergic to tree nuts so it's a dessert bar that doesn't have either.



They are soft. Sort of like a cross between soft fudge and brownie texture.

Fannish 50: 2024: Everything is Murder edition: #49: Short stories

...I'm almost there!

I like short stories. I admire authors who excel at the format. I suppose most of my ficcing could be construed as short stories. In my humble opinion, I own the finest collection of Christmas murder mystery short story anthologies in English. But, like John in my ficlet, this Christmas I didn't read any :(

Fannish 50: 2024: Everything is Murder edition: 50: Fireworks

I debated what the last item on this list should be but day before yesterday I added a postcard of fireworks to my new planner and that decided me.

I love fireworks. I know many of my DW friends don't, but for me, they are a happy childhood memory, one of few I can look back on without pain, shame, or disgust. I lived in a place where they were legal and sold year-round and we shot them off as a family for every holiday. When I still had contact with the Trump side of my extended family, I would buy $100s of dollars of fireworks at places in Tennessee and take them to Mississippi and shoot them off for the holidays. Today, I have a tiny box of 6 sparklers for New Years' Eve. A long way from the old days, but I still put the stems between my teeth :) If you aren't about to lose a finger or an eye, you're doing it wrong.

So I wrote a double drabble set in my BBC Sherlock Waffle House/firework stand AU. The fireworks ficlet was Snap-Crackle-Boom and the Waffle House AU was Scattered, Smothered and Covered
