having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing

Fic idea I'm probably never going to use - free for the taking:

Bridgerton Polin AU of "Secretary" where Colin is the Maggie Gyllenhaal character (the Secretary) and Penelope is James Spader's (the demanding and strict boss with very particular and specific demands).

Gimme Dom Pen and baby Sub Colin.

ok so here's the thing

Christmas knife shopping for my dad - "He likes knives. Maybe we should get him a knife again for the seventeenth billion year in a row? Something pointy maybe? I don't know. I know nothing about knives, just pick a shiny one and we can go. It's the thought that counts, right?"

Christmas knife shopping for my dad after binge watching ten seasons of "Forged in Fire" - "They all have a nice pattern but I'm really liking that twisted damascus over there. On the other hand, that clip point is going to be harder to keep sharp, versus the ladder pattern drop point. On the other other hand, at this point in his life, I don't think he's actually going to do anything specific with it anyway, and I'm pretty sure I'm overthinking all of this and now I've got a headache. Let's just get a pointy shiny one and we can go. It's the thought that counts, right?"

Okay fanfic writers, your mission, should you chose to accept it, is a filthy 100 word drabble, for any pairing, to be posted on Thursday, in time for American Thanksgiving.

Ready, set, write!

It's Halloween. Also known as the night my husband has to break out my anxiety meds just so I can hand out candy while he's out with the Demon Spawn without having a panic attack and curling up in my closet with sensory overload.

I love the IDEA of Halloween and costumes and candy and scary movies. But I dread the interacting with people and loud noises and talking and eye contact making part. But someone has to do it while my husband is supervising the Demon Spawn, and that someone is, apparently, me.

Has anyone else ever seen a series called "Blackpool" with David Tennant?

We literally only stopped wearing masks three weeks ago.

My son and I are the only people in our entire extended family who have not had COVID.

Even when my husband had it; we quarantined the hell out of our house and everyone made their own food and I slept on the sofa for two weeks so my husband could be in a room by himself. And I managed to keep my son and I from catching it.

My son only went to school for 10 days before coming home with a fever and cough and the news that the parent of one of the kids in class has COVID and I swear to the lord above and the little baby Jesus that if he has COVID while the three of us are trapped in this single hotel room together I am going to... probably stomp my feet like a toddler and regret all of my life decision ls that lead me to this point.

On the other hand, it could just be a cold and/or allergies (I am also currently experiencing allergy issues) and I could definitely be overreacting.
