Further Housekeeping by Idhren (AO3)

Elias- Gerald showed me your offer of the Assistant Archivist contract. International courier, Elias, really? A shopping spree to the tune of several hundred dollars at the Garment District in Cambridge (MA, USA) is a much more appropriate gift. You can expect this as a line item in my next posting of expenses; I look forward to hearing how you justify it to Lukas et al. -Gertrude p.s. Gerald found me this postcard in la Ciudad de México; I do enjoy his morbid humors. Don't try this again, Elias. You know Ms. Montague would be happy to help with further housekeeping.

please be kind and good to yourself. Thank you for serving. May you have many more moments of comfort and joy as we all try to get through.

This is hilarious.

Patrick backstory WIP:

David’s face twisted. 

and

David’s face twisted again, and he was comingout with the reason. 

Sequel in the Wild and Wired series:

David’sface twisted even more. 

and

Theyclimbed up the bleachers, and David could still feel his face all twisted up.

This says to me I should possibly stop using that word to describe David’s face, except. What ELSE are you going to say when he does these things

I imagine Konohamaru would have been pretty likely to spill the beans on that one! Especially if he was asking Ebisu to referee any matches between the teams. It probably did have a bit to do with how quickly be got on board with the whole program, though I imagine he would have been just as interested if anyone had proposed the same thing.

Team Nerd is surprisingly charming and I like how they all get along and complement each other. XD

Yes, yes it is! Wee teenage me loved the idea of ‘thoughtful, wise’ as the significance of my chosen pseudonym. 

me: a Real Adult™ would get all of her chores done before hanging out online with her friends

It’s been really fun to start looking at characters that aren’t part of the high powered genin->chunin->jounin(-> hokage) track that a lot of our main characters are on and that we see as ‘typical’ for a shinobi, even though they’re probably in the minority. Akado was fun to bring in as someone very non-combat (though obviously with plenty of his own skills and abilities) and @wafflelate, @pepperdoken and @math-is-magic have been doing some great world-building for Yuuhi Shinku.
