the trick is to keep breathing

As of tomorrow evening I will be drunk at Ohayocon. My itinerary includes:

• Battleshots


• FF Roller Derby Rydia, part of the Zeromus Haters roller derby team


• being drunk


• (drunk) (gay stylist) (spaghetti making) Trowa, from Gundam Wing


• gluing sparkly shit on everyone who stands still long enough to let me


• getting to curl Becky's hair :D


• possibly seducing Quatre's voice actor with Katy


• drinking an entire beer penis


• a round of Snirvines (this year's shot)


• Mongolian Fucking Barbecue


• cuddling


• lots of compromising photos posted to our live photo feed


• creepersharking


• HOPEFULLY partying with Hot Leia and Hot Tifa and Hot Cloud and Hard Gay

I'll have my phone for email and texts, but I will very likely be drunk or sleeping, so. Contact at your own risk, fools. Otherwise, I will get back to all of you on Monday when I am hung the fuck over sober and back at work.

CHEERS :D

Notes: Co-Written with justira, this is the fic that blossomed from our innocent desire to write some incest into one of the most epic and awesome projects I have ever worked on; it will likely be around 200K and 2011 by the time we're done with it.

Thanks: to renay, katmillia, and safety_caesars for beta, critique, comments, and cheering. ♥


Summary: Rinoa's gone public as a Sorceress and is campaigning for Timber's independence, Laguna's steering Esthar's re-emergence, Galbadia won't give up, Squall's dealing with the political fallout as Garden Commander -- and in case no one has enough on their plates, something's wrong with the Sorceress-Knight Bond. When terrorists attack Timber in the middle of Squall and Rinoa's argument over where the new Garden should go -- Timber or Esthar? -- they decide to take a break, hoping that if they can sort out the politics in their separate spheres, they can come back and sort through the quietly desperate mess of their private lives and repair their Bond.

Sorceresses still make the world nervous and Galbadia won't let Timber go; Esthar needs to come out of hiding and Garden needs to decide its place in the world. Four lives are unraveling -- but maybe, between them, they can find the answers...
