h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

both mom and i weren't feeling very well today, but still, a trip to the BIG shop for all sort of things (listen, we aren't shopoholics, but we are for all practical purposes outfitting 3 appartments + the house in kish, and we are pathologically unable to plan that: we need this sort of curtains for one window, another for the other window, this many bed covers and that much material for furniture covers, so alright, let's get it all on one trip. we shop as we get ideas.)
so i'm pretty off my feet when we get back, but i have already reservations for thai massage (Pure. Heaven.) accross town. and when i got back, it didn't much arm twisting for mom to agree to chinese food (not fast food/take out, from a real restaurant.) (she DOES spoil me so ). soooo...
2 hours of massage by a masseur who recognized me from before as a good tipper, a bowl of peking soup (breathing fire), chop suey and fried rice and 2 gyosa, and i'm in my happy happy place.

fanfic rec:
STILL searching for that avengers/buffy x-over, but here is a favorite: the "lone flower" series by vathara, a buffy/bleach x-over. Yet Another Halloween Fic - what if for the character buffy dressed up as, her body was like a costume? or...
quote:
Shunsui cleared his throat. "Hypothetically speaking-"

Kisuke straightened, wariness dissolving into eager interest, which was as swiftly hidden behind his fan. "Oh, this is going to be good."

Juushirou sighed.

"-Maybe, just maybe, this Rayne character used what he got from you, along with various other weirdness, to set off some kind of kidou that let people take on the abilities, and apparently mind, of whatever they dressed up with." Shunsui paused. "Now, imagine a sixteen-year-old girl got Juushirou's kimono."

Under the shadow of a green-striped hat, gray-green eyes widened, delighted. "You possessed a living human being?"


great Ukitake voice and POV, accurate portrayals of the bleach characters, especially Zaraki and Yachiru (from the 3rd story: "Sometimes you got to find the guy you want to fight," Zaraki said with a great deal of satisfaction. "Everybody ought to know how to scare the hell out of wimpy bad guys."

"Her suggestion involving vinegar, his liver, and a spoon was the tipping point," Juushirou noted. "Er… you don't actually let her do that?"

"Hell, no!" Zaraki looked affronted. "You never know where guys like that have been.")

and a very VERY original look at the demon used to create the first slayer. i think have read this one about 10 times!
