Well, I continue to be barely on DW, which is kind of a drag, but I am beavering away in the background on a) my actual job, which is—*endless screaming*, etc, you know, the usual; and b) MHHE. I'm a bit over halfway through my draft for MHHE; my word count is slightly humiliating; lots of work yet to be done, but—well. Sort of the nature of the beast, isn't it, when you're a bit over halfway through.
I actually logged on because I was like "OH RIGHT! IT'S WEDNESDAY! That's my snippet-posting day!!" and then realized—I think I've hit the point in this draft where literally every sentence I'm writing for MHHE is so spoilery I can't even excerpt it. So—instead, have this snippet from another, temporarily-on-hold fic [the virginity kink/married-sex kink story], ( which is longer than six sentences, but not by much... )

I feel like I had more intelligent things to say about this when I read it over breakfast but now I'm basically just, like, seventeen emojis connected with inarticulate moaning, so. This story is great and I just—I cannot recommend it highly enough.
