blood test results came back...

[skoosiepants]

and I'm fine! No pregnancy and no thyroid problems and it's just... whew. Thank god. And thanks to everyone who wished me well *hugs you*

In other news, civilbloodshed is pure evil and her drabble prompt of HP/SGA for having correctly guessed my remix fic has taken over my brain. And the most horrid thing of all? It's not crack. I mean, its basis may seem like crack, but it's not. Sometimes, I like it when a story reminds me of how much I love words. And this? This, folks, is only the beginning. Be afraid. Be very afraid:

When John started Hogwarts, there was a crater the size of a farmhouse where a Whomping Willow used to stand, shallowed out by rain.

Lush grass the blue-green color of Texas grew dense in the center every spring, snapping hothouse flowers layered the bowl in the short months of summer, and in the fall and winter, fog hanging low and dew a chilly cling on every blade and petal, snow-white lilies, bells dark in the center, sagged on limp stems wherever the Willow used to shake off its turning summer coat.

A slim, twisted Japanese maple, star-like purple leaves stubbornly present during every dreary season of Scotland, arched over a circular stone slab that marked the edge of the hole closest to the castle. And on the slab was an epitaph, cryptic verse in a carved scrawl, with points about moors and gray heather and a city at the bottom of the sea; about black hounds and the sky at four p.m. and the slow, mellow burn of early autumn. Square-cut hieroglyphics rimmed the outside, half-buried under aged moss, impressions caked with dirt from over a decade of weather.

No one knew what it meant or who had placed it there.

Most said, though, that if you followed the words to their end, you’d find Harry Potter. But Harry Potter, boy-savior, was dead.

But! But! Where's Rodney?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh god. He's a Slytherin. I hate myself so much.

[littleleggylulu.livejournal.com]

ooh im very intreged!!!! (i didnt spell that right did i?)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

eh, I suck at spelling, too :)

[smalldiver.livejournal.com]

Ooh, me like!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thanks! should be fun to write, so I'm looking forward to it :)

[smalldiver.livejournal.com]

Also? I'm glad you're OK :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thankee!!! It's such a relief

[druidspell.livejournal.com]

I have got to read that.

Although is Texan grass really blue-green? Isn't that more Kentucky's thing?

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

Sush! I lived in Texas for a long time and really depends which part. Southern Texas is mostly crab grass that isn't very nice, but I hear Nothern Texas is quite lush. But, uh, honestly? It doesn't really matter, because wow.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm... you know, I'm not sure. Must look that up.

[vafizziks.livejournal.com]

First off, glad you're OK.

Secondly, I don't even know anything about Stargate or who John is, but that was a beautifully written little snippet. I may have to read the entire thing.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thank you! On both accounts!

Maybe this'll lure you to the dark side, aka John and Rodney's Intergalactic LOVE FEST!

[penyn-1600.livejournal.com]

I'm glad everything turned out okay. *hugs you*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thank you! *huggles back*

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

Excellent, good health!

And also, OH MY GOD! Clearly I am an evil genius. Clearly. Because that was beautiful. Wow.




Wow.

hullo *waves enthusiastically*

i saw your icon and felt the need to commend you. because Walt Whitman is always a good time.

right...well then..

ta

(and yes you are clearly an evil genius of sinister prompt giving proportions)

:)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Hee. Thank you! I hope you like it when I finish the whole thing. There will be little to no actual canon HP characters, and this takes place in 2011 *grins*

[karmic-circuit.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're okay! :D

And I can't, can't, can't wait to read the whole thing. It's like I've developed a Pavolvian response: you post a snippet; I start drooling.

Rodney as a Slytherin is priceless and perfect, even better than Ravenclaw, because he's definitely full of ambition. I actually have a hard time picturing John in a specific house--he's like a mishmash of all four.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*g* thanks, hon! *hugs*

Rodney as a Slytherin is priceless and perfect, even better than Ravenclaw, because he's definitely full of ambition. *grins* Also:

When John had pointed out that, on average, Ravenclaws held the highest marks in the school, McKay had huffed and said that Ravenclaws were narrow-minded, stuff-shirted page memorizers who called a spade a spade even when it was clearly a shovel, and that no one truly brilliant had ever come out of that House.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

yay good health! :)

and. and. RODNEY A SLYTHERIN! RODNEY BULLYING THE BOTANISTS/HUFFLEPUFFS. OMG IS ZELENKA IN IT? PLEASE IS HE? I'm so shamelessly psyched it's like WHOA.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Radek is definitely in this, and botanists are like the living embodiment of Hufflepuffs :)

[shmanet-janet.livejournal.com]

first off, yay for you not being pregnant and not having thyroid problems and such.

woot, health.

*does the happy healthy dance*

secondly...

*gets a bit of a running start*
*FLYING TACKLE HUG OF GLEE*

because the snippet has hooked me. like a..like a thing that is hooked. fishy. scaly and with fins and such.

HOOKED!
that is what i am. and Slytherin!Rodney is love. because it so works. all pretentious and holier-than-thou, and "i am SO smarter than you" accompanied by nose thumbing action.

very SlytherClaw Rodney is.

*nods*


yay!
*bounces*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

woot, health. thanks, hon! *dances with you*

very SlytherClaw Rodney is. He totally is, except he dislikes Ravenclaws in general. Well, all Ravenclaws except Chuck, because Chuck is Canadian and Rodney has much pride in his country *g*

[adannu.livejournal.com]

Yay for being OK!

And on both HP/SGA counts: OOH LOVE. Although I admit to liking the imagery and the ramifications of the first one a bit more. :D

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thank you!!
Although I admit to liking the imagery and the ramifications of the first one a bit more. *g* well, it shall be placed at Hogwarts, but in the future, 2011, so no canon students will be in it, though there will be a few mentions, and maybe a first year kid or something. You never know! but fun with magic! yay!

Whew! Good job the tests came back negative huh? A friend (more an aquaintance really found out she was pregnant a couple of weeks ago, so I know how relieved you'll be to know that you're not going to be facing an unwanted pregnany! She's only 18, and to make matters worse, after a paternity test, it turned out that the person who thought they were the father was not actually. Things got very messy very quickly, as you can imagine.

Anyhoo, the SGA/HP fic is going to be amazing. I absolutely can't wait!

--rags--

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oooooo, 18 and wrong father. Yeah, that sounds sticky! I think a part of me - very, very small part - is slightly disapointed, since I feel like I'm at the age where I should have a kid. But still. So happy!

Anyhoo, the SGA/HP fic is going to be amazing. thank you, m'dear! I hope so!

Ah, and as for your comment on DT - since I never answer over there because I am so very lazy - I have yet to decide on Ernie and Millie. I think currently Ernie doesn't see Millie as much of anything beyond a nice girl, but I think it's the sort of relationship that can grow from friendship, so we'll see! I don't have any other plans for them at the moment at least :)
