More Ice Skating and 3_ships Reveal

So after my dad fell into the lake, my brother (who had been standing on the ice wearing sneakers) went back with him into the house; this was when I made the phone post. Eventually he came back out to spend time with me on the ice as we waited for his girlfriend to show up, and at last we decided it was worth the effort of having to untie and re-tie my skates to wait for her in the house, and I made myself a cup of tea.

She did finally show up eventually, and then my brother put on my dad's skates (which had been cleaned and dried after having fallen into the lake with my father), and the three of us went out again. Only the sun had gone, and while there was enough light to see, pond ice isn't exactly perfectly smooth and not being able to see the branches or soda bottles jutting out of the ice, or just random bumpy ice, made the whole process a lot more difficult. Still, we stayed out there until about 6:30pm, so I spent a good four hours at least on the ice today, which is a lot, I think.

I got these skates as a Christmas present . . . in 2002, when I was a freshman at Colgate. The couple of people on my flist who remember Colgate in '02-'03 might remember they put up an outside skating rink in Whitnall field that year, but I never used it, and actually the tags were still on the skates when I took them out of the box today. Which means I haven't gone ice skating since I was in high school. It all came back pretty quickly, though.

. . .

The 3_ships reveal has happened; it turns out, unsurprisingly, that the beautiful Epiphany story Many Magi was written for me by Ari. I wrote You Just Can't Choose What She's Gonna Do, which is Connor/Faith/Spike post-apocalyptic babyfic, and Spectres of Hope, which is S5 Wesley being transported by Illyria (post-"Time Bomb") back to revisit a S2 Wes/Cordy/Gunn night.

This means I've now written two stories with Connor in them, the aforementioned "YJCCWSGD" and my Angel/Ender's Game crossover Makes Three. Which means I need to update my character index to make an entry for Connor. I think I'm going to put that off until Monday, though. All of the indices have been updated otherwise to include the two new fics, though.

As far as I can tell, I still only have one fic written with Gunn in it, which is one fic more than I had last month.
