be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on

[mooging]

Auuuugh, oh god, my internet connection lately has been the actual worst. JUST. STAY. CONNECTED. jfc. Apparently sometimes a full bar of signal actually means NO SIGNAL, obviously. What even.

ANYWAY, this is to say a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has commented on the bakery au - you have been so amazingly wonderful, and some of the things you have said have legitimately left me speechless. I just - thank you all so, so much, and I want to take the time to reply properly to everyone but my internet is really dubiously reliable at the moment and keeps swallowing LJ comments and generally messing me about, but I am definitely going to reply properly! I didn't want anyone to think I was ignoring them, or - idk, just, I genuinely am blown away by some of the things people have said, so thank you, and as and when my stupid internet connection allows, I want to say that again, and better. FOR NOW, HEARTS EVERYWHERE, I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING SPRINKLED WITH RAINBOWS, YOU ARE ALL THE BESTS. ♥

On a similar note, hello to the people who have recently friended me! I completely missed the TSN friending meme but I would still love to get to know you all! Drop me a comment to say hi? I am abysmal at making the first move to friend someone, mostly because I am convinced everyone is much more quality than I am (YESTERDAY I FELL OVER INSIDE A POPCORN MACHINE; I AM CLEARLY NOT THE MOST EPT HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET) but friends are awesome, so. :D

oh god, it has taken me, like, half an hour to write this post. CANNOT INTERACT WITH THE INTERNET, SEND HELP.

- The Fragile (http://sharpest-rose.livejournal.com/1226067.html) by sharpest_rose: TSN/Never Let Me Go crossover. THAT'S OKAY THAT IS JUST MY SOUL, I DID NOT NEED IT, I AM HAPPY TO SEE IT SHATTERED EVERYWHERE.
When they are eleven Eduardo has four artworks selected for the Gallery in one round. Mark doesn't have any on this particular occasion, though both of them often have inclusions. Eduardo hasn't had one for almost a year, though, so he's happy.

- Best Practices in Workplace Relationships (http://archiveofourown.org/works/161294) by BlackEyedGirl at AO3: AU; Eduardo is Mark's assistant when Facebook is already booming. THIS IS SO AMAZING. There is also an Eduardo POV sequel here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/196975).
Eduardo smiles back – shy – and God, Mark is fucking doomed. He shakes it off and disappears back into his office, rereading all Cheryl’s emails about workplace harassment and reminding himself of the reasons he’s absolutely not allowed to flirt with his assistant. The only saving grace is that Mark is so bad at these things that Eduardo might not have noticed yet.
(You should also read How to Make a Second Chance (http://archiveofourown.org/works/196997), where Harvard!Mark and post-deposition-era!Mark swap places, just for a day. In fact, just go read all the things by BlackEyedGirl. You won't regret it.)

- world enough and time (http://heygirlfriends.livejournal.com/11855.html) by fledmusic: Time Traveler's Wife AU. Mark is the time traveler. This made me weep embarrassingly all over the place. I think this is my favourite Mark/Eduardo established relationship fic I have read, mostly because the time travel allows for it not being very established at all, for Mark, all the time. UGH IDEEEEK, JUST READ THIS.
Mark can gauge when he’s traveled to based on whether or not Eduardo throws something at his head. Well, really, Mark wouldn’t blame someone for throwing stuff when a naked guy appears out of nowhere in front of them, no matter the situation, really, but sometimes he’s even procured clothes by the time he runs into Eduardo — he always, always runs into Eduardo, no matter where or when he travels to — and Eduardo still throws things. (Okay, sometimes he purposefully seeks out Eduardo, like now, when he’d let himself into Eduardo’s house through the side door, via the key Eduardo keeps hidden in the flower pot, but who can really blame Mark for being curious.)

- Pilea Involucrata (http://heygirlfriends.livejournal.com/12077.html) also by fledmusic: EDUARDO TURNS INTO A PLANT. This should be crack, but is instead the loveliest thing in the world.
Well. Eduardo had said he needed to get Mark’s attention. Mark just hadn’t really thought that “get your attention” would mean “turn into a plant,” but Eduardo did tend to be really unnecessarily dramatic sometimes.

- Speaking In Tongues (http://archiveofourown.org/works/129756?view_adult=true) by marycontraire at AO3: Mark goes to Brazil one summer with Eduardo, and then he tries not to think about it. THE ENDINGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
It's weird being surrounded by a foreign language. It's even weirder that Eduardo speaks it. It kind of reminds Mark of that time last year when they went to this stupid Gangsta Night party at AEPi and this Asian girl was hitting on Mark all night, but he had no idea until Eduardo dragged him off into a corner and told him to make a move. Except, more so. Eduardo doesn't just speak the language here—he belongs.
