Remember me and that is enough
[Image ID: A digital illustration of a school of Ichthyosaurs, a marine reptile shaped like a dolphin with a small fluke and paddle limbs, and a shark-like tail. They are all white, and some of them hold stars in their mouth. The biggest Ichthyosaur has a star in its eye, and they are swimming against a blue background. End ID.]

hey, my wraith saw you from across the dungeon and wanted to know if he was cool to touch you with his long-ass skeletal ice finger

Me too. "Do you wanna be by each other? Oh my god they love each other."
So much joy to be found in touch starved Horatio. But also so much joy to be found in Horatio and Archie or Horatio and Bush (or all three!) lying on top of each other like cuddly puppies.

One thing I hate about writing shorter fic is that I can't share my little jokey-jokes ahead of time on tumblr if I want them to retain the element of surprise :/

I've been noticing lately how much yelling at people in a professional context does not work. It was never my style (unless it was truly an issue of shouting to be heard) but I've had a lot of jobs where people yelled. To the point where I sometimes have trouble now realizing that I'm receiving criticism if it's not blisteringly mean and at max volume (shout out to my former supervisor who I really came to like and admire but who absolutely did furiously shout "I'm trying to coach you" at me one day early on - you are a wonderful person but that was not super effective).
I've been noticing the response that people have to yelling and/or angry tirades and they literally just assume that the person yelling is panicking (which they often are). And they are not more likely to do what that person is suggesting.
