A good day, and a rec

Today's been rather fine - sleeping in a bit, finally catching the first lectures in six months (damn, I miss studying!), then coffee with astarise and getting something from her that still makes me :D :D :D when I think of it, but my camera batteries are out, so no photos yes. Still, squee. (Yes, it's vamp-related.)

Also, a belated rec: for over a year, artaxastra has been posting a story that's utterly brilliant. She has managed a bittersweet tale that rings beautifully true, and at the same time grabs you by the heart. It's Aeneid, as it might have happened, as maybe it did. Now she's finished it. If you have a few spare hours of your time, the Black Ships are well worth spending it on.

EDIT: and if you haven't got artaxastra friended, in the comments to this post she has offered to friend people who want to read it :D
