Into the Void

stonepicnicking_okapiI ordered 2 pair of cargo trousers to replace the ones that got shredded and they both fit. One is of the scrubs variety and one I have to roll up and button the others at the bottom so that they don't drag the ground, and both don't look exactly STURDY, but nonetheless, I have them, so yay.
My Joe/Nicky food fic was well received: the 5 times Nicky made food for his new neighbor & the 1 time Joe returned the favor. It was for the fluff challenge at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
story_works. And I got the prompt from this fluff prompt generator.
I like the 5+1 structure so much I am working on a fic where Joe and Nicky work at a radio station in Cincinnati (a TOG/WKRP fic) for my crossover gen bingo square with 6 songs from 1978.
I have started on Kinktober ficlets. I know it's early but it makes me happy so there. First one will be a The Old Guard/Inception crossover with Joe/Nicky/Arthur/Eames and lots of dream sex on the Kenyan coast.
The second one is my BBC Sherlock Men in Kilts AU with John going back into the kilt (an orange and black one with embroidered bats) to do cleaning for the Bates Motel before Halloween. Cue Scooby-Doo plot with porn.
The next one is BBC Sherlock's monograph on glitter. And the one after that is my lovely new fandom, BTS, Omegaverse with Jimin and (maybe) Suga going to haunted house to pass Suga's heat. I watched an old Korean movie The Housemaid (1960) today. It was interesting, but more suspense of a Fatal Attraction variety than horror. But it gave me some good images to start with. And there are A LOT of Korean films at my library. Koreans seem to like their zombies but I am looking for ghosts and eerie stuff.
The light came on so I got air in the tires. It made me feel like an Adult.
I finished Agatha Christie's The Sittaford Mystery. It was good. And now I am reading Catherine Aird's A Most Contagious Game. I resisted getting the last of the River of London series at the library today. I still have one on audiobook but it's not a Peter Grant book, it takes place in Germany, and I have a short story compilation Tales from the Folly. There's a nice line where Peter says 'A detective inspector doesn't get out of bed for anything less than a body at the vicarage," so I might one day do a fusion of the Rivers of London world and Miss Marple.

Nightengale looks like he's middle-aged but he's actually like 120 years old. He served in WWII. I am still trying to decide on how he and Miss Marple would interact and what parts of the mystery would be magical, but he would totally fit her timeline.
