Part twenty-seven.

Okay, here we go! Last post for tonight, not *quite* the last of the story. I say 'one more' but who the fuck knows, once i get typing.

Thank you, everybody, who is still reading. I deeply, deeply appreciate it. And thank you, my dearest Snow, for your unflagging encouragement. :)

Part twenty-five.

I'm currently working for the Rural fire department, doing admin-type stuff, and will also be organizing and basically coming up with their new fire safety and prevention/awareness program for the elementary schools.

I will *most likely* be doing that via Americorp/VISTA, but as the Admin Assistant left and starts *her* new job next week, her spot is open. I'm filling in right now, but i'm *fingers crossed* that I can interview and maybe do that job, instead. HEALTH BENEFITS. Plus better pay. Either way, I'm there for at least a year, if not more. It's terrifying and exciting. :)

Anyway - I *thought* there was only one more chapter of 'Yesternight', but HA. I was wrong. As always, Darkhavens is the most awesome person ever, and I'd never get anything posted if it was for her awesome skills and encouragement.

Part Twenty-three

THIS IS IT. The penultimate chapter of this story that has taken so *very* long. My gods.

Anyway - i'm going to post a 'me and things' post tomorrow, but for now - here we go. One chapter to go, holy fuck! I hope...anyone...is still reading.

Chapter twenty.

*waves madly*

Hi, people. Apologies for the long-ass wait and...this is not the last chapter.
*flails*

I'm just so irritated with myself and how fucking *slowly* i'm writing, anymore, that i was like 'screw it, this is a good place to break'. So I did. So here you go.

As always, thank you, DH - you are the ultimate beta. :)

Part Eighteen

Thanks for all your patience, my lovely, lovely readers.

To those of you who practice, and for everyone else - Happy Halloween!

It's grey, chilly and drizzling here - a typical Missouri Halloween, heh. I have more memories of trick or treating in my winter coat than anything else.

But it's still quite lovely, and I have spicy candles burning and some candy just in case, I've lit a votive to those who've passed on and left a small offering for the Fair folk and any wandering shades. So I'm all set for a quiet night.

I am, once again, watching 'Baby', and omg, it just keeps getting better. So many tiny details, so many wonderful moments, I just.... The boys just driving, eating, talking, *laughing*. They are in their element, they are, as Sam says, *home*, and it's so wonderful to see what the life of hunter - *their* life - was and is. It's sad, but also sweet, and ultimately it's what made and shaped them, and continues to inform them. And it is lovely.

I'm also listening to the song Young!John was playing (Someday Soon, sung by Judy Collins in 1969) and the lyrics are so *very perfect*. It's like they were written for Mary. No wonder she liked that song. Plus, you know - Judy Collins. What a honeyed voice! I'm going to share the lyrics below - they're lovely.

So, my flist - what are you doing tonight? What was your favorite thing about the episode? I think my favorite was the green cooler and its multiple uses. :) Also, Sam and Dean just being *brothers*, and Castiel (off screen) in Sam's room, binge-watching 'Orange is the New Black'. Enjoy the night! Be safe! Blessed be!!

( So blow, you old Blue Northern, Blow my love to me.... )

Hullo! And at last, eh? Hehe. As always, my apologies, but...it is what it is.
Beta'd by the lovely darkhavens, as always. And, again - thanks, everyone, for being so patient.

Part fifteen.

*waves*

Sooooo - way back last year - last *June* - there was a fandom works auction to benefit a dear person here in fandom who needed help. And I offered up fic, and people bid, and people won!

And I didn't get fic out in a timely manner. Because I suck like that. But i have been *working* on them (among other fic), and am finally *done* with the first one! Whoooo!

So this fic is for without_me, who bid on a J2/Wincest fic. And this is what happened with the prompt! I do hope it measures up. :)

Thank you, darkhavens for your usual awesome beta, and sweptawaybayou for your usual awesome cheering-on.
*luffs you guys*

I hope the translation is good - the site wouldn't do a reverse translation for me to check, and neither would any other site i tried - it just kept putting the same words in Hindi in the 'translate to English' box. Arrgh.

Plus, also - I don't live in New York and have never visited there.
