Lent

Any of the Christians on my f-list observing (celebrating) Lent? If so, what are you giving up/doing for it?

I don't usually, but I think it might be a good year to start. Not necessarily fasting, or even giving up something, but perhaps taking time to do something, to form a habit.

Thoughts?

so today (more health and work and stuff)

My right side twinges and aches and is annoying.

The tooth/gum feels okay, but I haven't really chewed anything on it but the softest stuff. I've let the painkillers wear off at least once or twice and it was kind of achey.

Right now, the faint humming in my foot and hand are more worrying, as is the ache in the knuckle of my right ring finger. I'm kind of sick of this.

Also: work is being stressful.

fannish things: halfamoon and some fic

Are you involved in halfamoon? Maybe think about producing something and posting/linking there?

I've gotten a bit distracted in the last day - haven't been able to put up the post for the LJ and DW comm - maybe at lunch today. And I have to finish off the Day10-Day14 graphics.

So damn tired.

Some fic:
Pre And Post
MCU: Maria/Steve
There are places Maria would rather be at 0200 hours – such as with Steve, and places she would much rather not be at 0200 hours – such as her office. Tonight, she’s managed both which should technically balance it out. Technically.
Next chapter in my Meeting Halfway series, which has been on a break for 18 months...

The Goddamned Batman
MCU: Maria, Melinda
In Maria's opinion, a prank that requires someone else to clean up after you isn't a prank; it's a dick move.
For Halfamoon Challenge - Women Being Awesome

Unexpected And Deadly
PacRim: Mako Mori & the women
She remembers her mother dampening her hair, then brushing it out to fall just so.
For Halfamoon Challenge - Choices

Gardens And Guys Next Door
MCU AU: Maria/Steve, Natasha
Maria personally finds it awkward to be perving on the neighbour.
The sequel to "Men and Mailboxes"

Trouble In Twos
MCU AU: Maria, Tony, Peggy, Angie
There’s a kid sitting on the stairs of the DC brownstone when Tony rocks up. Maybe six or seven, in a pink Rainbow Brite tee-shirt, clutching a Cabbage Patch Doll under one arm. But her expression is decades older – an old lady staring at him out of a little girl's eyes.
Someone wanted an AU where Tony and Maria grow up as siblings.

Also it's MCU Ladies Week over at Tumblr.

I think I'm just going to reblog my old gifsets for Maria for this. Too tired/stressed to make new ones, much as I'd like.
