#something about us

Thanks to @brenna, @hakunahistata, @carry-the-sky, and @goannasun for the tags!

last song: Something About Us by Daft Punk (online); Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart) by The Stylistics (vinyl)

currently watching: Death by Lightning (the one about James Garfield and Charles Guiteau). I am a bit meh about it so far but also am enjoying watching the political process (men yelling about needing to be men while the quiet votes-for-women protestors hold up their signs). We're waiting for season 8 of X-Files from the library. Sort of halfheartedly watching Outlander.

current obsession: Still Good Omens. Also going thru all the vinyl my husband's grandparents gave us album by album.

currently reading: just finishing up the Patrick Stewart memoir (Making It So). Very enjoyable overall! Next on my stack are Rainbow Rowell's Cherry Baby and the latest Murderbot (Platform Decay).

currently working on: writing (Good Omens fic still, plus a Benoit Blanc universe FTH fic), gardening (raspberries are ripe), and planning a kitchen reno.

last internet search: the etymology of "no siree (bob)" Thanks, Fork :D

Dion Ravel is pissed off. His last client on a Friday night is late and he has better things to do than to wait on "Ben Smith" and his no doubt unimaginative tattoo design. But then Ben Smith walks into his tattoo studio and he realises this man is far from a stranger... It's Benji, a boy who upended Dion's life a long time ago. Dion knows who he is instantly, but will his high school frenemy (okay, maybe crush) recognise Dion after fifteen years and one gender transition?

Benji Smith is a mess. But maybe getting a tattoo to honour his mother will help him get a handle on the grief that has wrecked him the last few months. However, finding his tattoo artist hot is the last thing he needs. But when they both end up locked in the studio for the night, it becomes clear that there is something about Dion that Benji can't put his finger on. And maybe, there's something about both of them, together, that could lead to them both finding in each other a future their high-school selves dreamed of.
