Thanks for the tag, @love-letters-x-cardigan-sweaters and @ila9182!

are you staying home from school/work

Yes, I’m working from home. It’s a little more difficult, and we’ve gotten slammed with new work because of COVID-19, so it’s been hard. Which is why I’m so behind on my prompts, sorry, y’all 💜

if you're staying home, who is with you

Just my cat, who is pissed off with my increased presence in her space 😂

who would be your ideal quarantine mate

My niece and nephews, because I’m missing them like crazy 😩

are you a homebody

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I’m absolutely okay with being alone for days, other times, not so much.

an event you were looking forward to that got canceled

Philadelphia Comic-Con 😩 I was looking forward to meeting in person a few that I’ve met at cons before.

what movie have you watched recently Steel Magnolias, Anne of Green Gables

What shows are you watching

I have several going at the same time. BSG for the first time (I know, I know), Golden Girls/Dawson’s Creek/The O.C./Frasier for the millionth time, just finished Cybill and High Society

what music are you listening to

If a 65 year old would listen to it, then it’s on my playlist 🙈

what are you reading

After staring at my computer all day, I haven’t been reading much that’s not fanfic, haha. I’ve read almost everything new that’s been posted here (if I missed sharing any of it, sorry, it wasn’t intentional!), and I’m giving @commanderraydorsass’s stories a reread, yet again 😂

what are you doing for self-care

FaceTiming/Zoom chats with friends and family, I haven’t seen any of them in almost a month 😩

I tag @commanderraydorsass @littlefoxylove if you haven’t already and you want to :)

Fic Author Self Rec

Reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers. I was tagged by @themagicm ! Thank you so much! <3

1. Falling All In You - The Closer & Major Crimes (Shandy). My first attempt at writing a multi chapter fic. I was inspired to write it after rewatching The Closer "Last Rites" (7x19) and seeing one particular scene: when Sharon comes to talk to Brenda, Andy stares at her and she caught him in the process. Andy's look (and him being incredibly sexy) got my mind running wild and this is the result. The first chapter is set in The Closer era and the fic is basically an annual look at Sharon and Andy's relationship.

2. Befriending The Enemy - The Closer (Sharon & Andy “friendship”). An one-shot post The Closer 7x14 “Road Block”, exploring the aftermath of that particular case and the emotional impact it had on Andy. At the end of the day, Andy Flynn runs into the last person he wanted to meet, Sharon Raydor.

3. Worth Waiting For - Major Crimes (Shandy). Post 4x14 “Taking the Fall”. My take on what happens when Sharon is waiting for Andy to come back from surgery.

4. Making Amends - Major Crimes (Sharon & Andy friendship). Post 2x08 “The Deep End”. We all know Sharon Raydor likes wedding, but what happened during Nicole’s wedding? A two-shot I’ve written about this famous missing scene.

5. Letting Down The Walls - Major Crimes (Sharon & Andy “friendship”). A 1x07 “The Shame Game” between-the-scenes one-shot that takes place after Sharon and Provenza inform Rusty about his biological father. Andy eavesdrops the notification...

You can tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your music on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, then tag 10 people. No skipping.

There were two of you, and my iTunes was on a roll, so I cheated and did twenty. Apparently, my iTunes was on an oldies/nineties kick.

1. Say You Love Me by Fleetwood Mac

2. Too Much Fooling Around by The Tams

3. Brandy You’re a Fine Girl by Looking Glass

4. If You Leave Me Now by Chicago

5. Kiss on my List by Hall and Oates

If you’ve already done it, or just don’t want to do it, it’s fine. :)

[blossom--of--snow]

Rules: list the first lines of your last 10 published stories. See if there are any patterns yourself, or have other people say what they notice. Tag up to 10 friends!

Thanks a boatload to @angelicsharonraydor for the tag! Note: I only have 3 published stories. #oops

1. Everything/Major Crimes

It wasn’t their first fight, but it was definitely their most explosive.

2. All Together Now/Major Crimes

Gathering the squad for a day of leisure had gotten marginally easier over the past year and a half, but their most notable aid was that they were no longer a squad.

3. That’s Life/Major Crimes

The night before Sharon Raydor took over Major Crimes, she hardly slept.
