#sovin

Well!  I’ve been spending alot of time on some backwater world with my Sovin preparing our new vacation home!  Sorta.. its not really a home in the traditional sense, I feel more like I’m camping with the finesses of civilization.  Sovin loves the outdoors and nature, so this is the perfect place for her to relax and meditate.  I too find myself enjoying the serenity and peacefulness of the area.

While Sovin was off dealing with senate matters she left me in charge of decorating!  At first I was ready to get someone to put a house here, but I knew that would not make Sovin happy so I decorated the home like it was a nature reserve, lots of plants and trees, even manage to make the furniture and nature fit together perfectly.  Sovin loved it when she returned, which made me happy.  I am sure their are somethings she would like to change, sometimes I think Sovin just goes with things to make me happy.  

Oh!  So.. while I was Marran HQ I met up with Kadin again, so we chatted some more and he agreed to become my pilot when he wasn’t doing his thing in the music business.  I even might end up in a music video, I have some ideas to pass along with that.  He is even going to come live with me and Sovin, that place in the Nexus is a bit stuffy and with the crazy people in the Marran, Kadin will be better off relaxing here.  Granted I haven’t told Sovin this yet... though I don’t think she will disagree with my choice, but there is a first time for everything.

I’ll have to make up a room for Kadin, that is my next goal!  For now we’ll be off to Coruscant in the morning.  Need to handle some modeling business there.  Someone in this relationship needs to make the money, Jedi work doesn’t pay well. 

Hey darling! I am well. I hope you are!

As usual, a ton of shit. Mia has me reading “Cordelia’s Honor” by Lois McMaster Bujold (I think the first book is technically called “Shards of Honor”?) and I’m a few chapters into that. It’s scifi, which I don’t usually read (I prefer to watch it) but so far I’m enjoying it.

I’ve also discovered a FANTASTIC take on non-sexual kink, specifically rope bondage: A Careful Kind of Balance by Sovin. It’s Enjolras/Grantaire fanfic, and while they do later enter into a romantic relationship they agree that they aren’t ready to bring kink into the bedroom and keep those two aspects of their relationship separate. I love it not only because it’s generally well-written, but also because of the emphasis the author (and the characters) put on pre-negotiating everything, having that negotiation in writing (through email) and the sequel/companion fic shows times when they have to use the safeword, for varying reasons, and deals extensively with aftercare and communication and it’s just WONDERFUL. Honestly I’d rec anything by this author. I read all their fic in the last week and loved them all.

I’m rereading Paris Burning by thecitysmith, which is another Les Mis fic wherein cities are personified. Which is a fascinating concept all on its own; this is nirvana for history buffs because of all the references both to the history of Paris and to the history (and in-universe, future) of the other Cities Paris interacts with. It’s also everything I’ve ever wanted in a Les Mis fanfic, littered with references to both the Brick and to the musical - some obvious, some more subtle - that brings together all of the narratives even though it’s pretty much exclusively Grantaire’s point of view. 

I also recently finished a full reread of the Animorphs books, which was my first time reading the last twenty or so - I’m still not okay, those books hurt me so much. SO MUCH FOR IT BEING A CHILDREN’S SERIES. I AM EMOTIONALLY SCARRED.

I also read Tamora Pierce’s Circle of Magic quartet; I’d only ever read her Tortall books but I found the first four Circle of Magic ones at a used bookstore. Each of them took less than a day to read, and they were great! A different narrative style than the Tortall books, which threw me at first, but I definitely want to find and read all the rest now.
