magnetic_pole,

kellychambliss (which was a most excellent way to celebrate Harry Potter's birthday, now that I think of it! ;D) = tiiiiired omg. Off to nap and/or mainline some more A:TLA S3, probably- toss me some drabble prompts so I can get back into the swing of writing? &hearts Any fandom is okay, though Avatar and HP are preferred for this round!

That was fun today!

I just finished Book I: Water (?) this evening. How about either:

a) something about Uncle Iroh's past (we don't know much about him, do we?) or
b) what happens when Gran Gran sees Master Pakku again (no schmaltz please)?

I will think about a way to do this without spoiling you!

YAY THEN I CAN READ IT TOO. (We've only just started book 2, but yes, I love Iroh!)

I know even if it was a spoily drabble I could come back & read it later but it is exciting to think a drabble may soon exist that I could read now!

Iroh!!! ♥ ♥ We learn more about him, so keep watching. Maybe she should hold off on posting that one until you're further into Book II! (I totally second writing anything about him!)

Yesterday really was fun! ♥ And you know, even though I just met both of you (and L) in person for the first time - last week and yesterday - it didn't feel like it, because I've known you both for a couple of years already. And Kelly's a sweetheart!

We'll talk soon about plans for when A's coming!

Yes! Fandom meetups are awesome like that sometimes. :D &hearts

(... non-spoilery Iroh is surprisingly difficult, hmm. Oh well, guess I'll just have to rewatch S1 again for ideas! WHAT A HARDSHIP.)

It really was so much fun! Can't wait to do it again. (Damned dissertation, or we'd be at the beach one weekend, with nothing to do but swim and talk.)

I'm having so much fun watching Avatar. It's got the same light touch and big issues as HP--a nice combination. M.

"Ouch!" Iroh says, shaking his hand.

Setting down her ladle, Chiyo folds her arms across her ample belly. "What did I tell you? For this tea, the first brew-"

"- is to wash the leaves only," Iroh mumbles around his throbbing knuckles.

"Yes. Now rinse out the pot and do it again, properly. And wash your hands!"

Iroh chuckles ruefully as he dumps out the teapot. "You're even more difficult to please than Jeong Jeong."

Chiyo snorts. "If he'd ever brewed his own tea, his students would have a much better grasp of the importance of attention. Besides, if you didn't like it, you shouldn't have married me- no, not that tin! Smell the leaves, don't just goggle at them."

"But they smell exactly the same!"

"For someone who enjoys drinking tea so much, you certainly don't understand how to appreciate it." Chiyo sighs. "Go outside and wait while the water cools. Pour it in too hot and it-"

"- scalds the leaves?"

"Well." Chiyo's mouth curls up at the corner, just a tiny bit. "It's going to be a long road for you, but maybe you won't be completely useless at this by the time I'm done."

She whacks him with the ladle again when he tries to sneak a kiss, but it doesn't sting as much as it could have. When Iroh finally does walk out the door, he has a goofy grin on his face, and the water is stone cold.
