Suzie Shooter

...was that Uncle Jesse in the Reasonably Priced Car tonight? *sniggers*

...because bellap74 told me to. And because I can't really post it at TGS heh.

Title: Meg's Tale
Pairings: James/Meg, implied James/Jeremy pre-slash
Rating: NC17
Wordcount: 1,707
Summary: Western AU. Before there was Jeremy, there was Meg.
AN: No, I don't know why I suddenly felt the urge to write het either. It's never happened before and will, I trust, never happen again. Feel free to ignore it. She was just a bit annoyed at being killed off, and demanded a back-story. Set, obviously, pre-High Noon.

Series index post here.

( The first time she seduced him, it was almost just to see if she could )

As promised...

( in one handy pocket sized post... )

Despite being back at work after two days of migrainous (is that a word?) misery yes yes alright so I also managed to do quite a bit of writing while I was off, shhh today had several moments of win:

- At the station on the way to work the little black cat that lurks on the platform came over and let me stroke it until the train arrived.

- One of the Project Managers bought me a bacon and egg bap.

- This afternoon I was waylaid by a man with a car boot full of flowers, who insisted I take several bouquets back to the office. He said "I work at Sainsbury's, but I'm also a volunteer for the hospital chaplaincy - so I donate the flowers and accept them from myself." LOL. Apparently he brings them in and gives them to random departments to brighten the place up!

Ooh, and tomorrow night I'm going to see Dylan Moran! *bounces*

ETA: Oh yeah, it's the TG/A2A Children In Need thing tonight, innit. Although I may well be asleep by 10:40...

So I wrote another Dragons' Den fic. But you're gonna have to join the_slash_den to read it, bwah hah hah.

In other news, have some Top Gear pix I dont think I've seen before.

( click for the pretty )

( to present a version of Top Gear, first you have to perfect the art of the sexy lean... )

A few screencaps, because seriously, James in glasses? Ngh.

( glasses, horses and that hat )

I really have no suitable words to describe just how ridiculously flattered and excited and just damn impressed I am that mad_lemming_89 has drawn such an amazing illustration for The Egyptian Affair.

Click here to see it and tell her she's amazing!

ETA: Or here for a public link

I see Hammond's on the front of The Times today - the new face of Formula 1 apparently. (I dreamt I had him sat on my lap last night y'know. Bizarre.) I managed to buy a copy for my mother without noticing the enormous picture of him on the front - and then saw it in another shop and did a double take and had to look at the one I'd bought to make sure I wasn't going mad. Well, more mad than ususal.

Also, free dvd with Top Gear magazine, yee haw! Note to self : stop that. And James advocating wipe down upholstery for dogging. Or something, I've only read the headline so far...

OK, that's weird, vaguely hearing silly accordion music and James saying "I'll have the white Bordeux" and looking up to remember that it's Top Gear on the telly, not the Big Gay, LOL.
