A grey day

ceitfiannaI slept wonderfully late today, it was just what I needed. Last week was weird, because I didn't have school on Monday, Tuesday was long as were the rest of the days. Yesterday though was pretty amazing.
I'm helping to run a roleplaying club at school, the first meeting was after school. It went well, we got a decent turnout and there will be more as we publicize it more. The senior who did a lot of the organization is going to need a bit of handling as he's someone who has so many ideas and knows stuff, that he wants to share, but he has a way of talking over people. While the other kids are so far pretty quiet but I think I can bring them out. Since most of them have never played before, I'm going to run a one shot game next week to give them a feel for D&D, my plan is to really make it about the feel of the game not as much the rules. Then after the start of October, there will be the expo for clubs and that should get more people. I hope to have either multiple games or board games, I want this to be really open. The student who did some organizing hasn't quite grasped yet how easily RP stuff can feel like just this group of people type of thing.
I also had one of those rather strange revelations of I have a lot more experience than I realized. Various games kept being mentioned and I went oh, played that, know that, which impressed and surprised the students. Also the girl who sat down, which made me so happy got all smiley when I mentioned that I wrote fanfic and used Ao3. I love the fact that I can bring this part of myself into my job even if not everyone understands it, but I can be a mentor. After school, I dropped off the rental application for the place I really want and if it all works, I hope to move in at the start of October. That would be great as all my sweaters are in storage and the weather's turned cold.
This past Friday was also the return of FicFriday, which I always love. And I'm still collecting ideas on the tropes' meme I need to actually write down more of the ideas I have for the amnesiac fic before I lose them.

Tumnus - end of story
He'd never forgotten her face though she disappeared into Spare Oom, she was his queen and friend. They did meet once more.
Regina & William - I can give you rain
My dear boy, the price isn't that high." "But my heart, that don't seem right. How'd I live?" "Why as I told you to."
William & Red - eating dust, breathing freedom
Red usually rode horses that were already broken, but he could get used to this. William grinned as the colt began to learn.
Charles - light
The sun was bright in his eyes as he lay on the beach and he kept thinking he saw Iris within it, but there was only after.

Moist, change of plans
The headmistress' smile was too nice, Moist greeted her with one of his own smiles and started thinking of how best to leave.
William, hard work paying off
Mark kept fidgeting in his new clothes, but William didn't mind as their Ma beamed at him, "Be good and listen to your teacher."
Charles and Phyllis, crisis averted.
The book trembled before it was dropped and Charles didn't break eye contact with the man holding it as Phyllis gooed the book.

Any fandom; happy beginnings, strange places, blue became William/Thalia
The sky above was a darker blue than William was used to and hemmed in by buildings, but Thalia had his hand and he trusted her.
