Ficlet for the Toby Daye series, spoilers behind the cut.

 World's longest commute tonight...or at least it felt like it. 2 hours in the car on the freeway. Thanks Super Bowl!

And if that weren't enough, I got blindsided with Hank feels when Apoptygma Berzerk's Nearer came up on the music. Here's the lyrics (metro lyrics) and here's the song  (youtube) if you are unfamiliar. The whole thing just screams of Hank mental state after Raven leaves and him seeing how free she seems to be, and just how destitute he feels.

I am also fairly inspired by the second fic I wrote for Sabine in today's DE, both as an expanded fic and as an art piece. I think I need to at least outline the ideas and the art piece.

And lastly, having too much fun with Eliot in last weekend's DE. Also I think Tybalt may be back. Might need to see whom I can shift around to bring these boys to Milliways. (Kind of thinking Luidaeg and Quinlan, but nothing is firm.)

Regarding Milliways costume and personality shenanigans;
Oh what fun I shall be having at Tybalt's expense. I mean really. I'm especially looking forward to costuming from Velvet Goldmine.

But I got what I wanted, I think, so I am climbing back out. Did find more icons for Ethan and a PB I really like for the Luidaeg, as well as September Torquill and Rand's sisters, Colleen and Jill. Both will require some photoshop (if I decide to be that detailed for one OOM) since Jill has fog-colored hair with black stripes and Colleen has calico patches on her skin.

Of course, in my head canon, Colleen has the potential to visit, so she might be worth the effort.

 Whine...I want to include the scene with September Torquill as a link to future OOMs but in the abridged version of Rat-Catcher I am writing, it doesn't fit. Whine...

Drove in today while listening to my Tybalt playlist since my iPod lost contact with Audible and, thus, couldn't log into finish my current book, Croak. This, of course, caused ideas since driving at high speeds for long periods of time seems to be great for my creativity.

OK, time to get the DE up.

So in Rat-Catcher, the Roane prophecy warns of the fire and a great sickness. The fire is obviously the Great Fire of London but I can't find any hint of a great sickness that occurs after the fire. I will freely admit my grasp of history is shaky, but my Google-fu is only coming up with the Plague hitting London the year before the fire.

Is there something I am missing or is the Roane off a bit? I don't have the book with me, but I seem to remember a mention that the prophecies always have some error in them, maybe this is it? Or do you think Seanan got the dates wrong and I should shift the years for this world?

And I stumbled upon a song that is near breaking my inner Tybalt's heart with memories of Londonium, Hungry Lucy's Bound In Blood.

And yet another Hungry Lucy song for that time, To Kill A King. I should add a trigger warning for this song as the subject is really an abusive relationship drawn up in fairytale language.

Random head canons that I keep meaning to write into fics but work is not cooperating and giving me the time to do. Spoilers abound.

Also, I finished An Artificial Night and am now onto Late Eclipses. It is very interesting to be reading the series like this as the first three books are definitely the first act and now we are moving into the second.

 I've thrown a young Tybalt into the sandboxes. He is a Prince of Cats and is from 1666; i.e. before the Rat-Catcher story and his regency.
