Blanket Fort Book Club

sleepy sunday mornings w/ love of my life

My love language

"Draco?"

"Yes, love?"

"What's your hand doing?"

"It's cold."

"But you have the blanket."

"I am well aware."

Just imagine.

Sitting with Ominis Gaunt, in nothing but silence, a comfortable silence of course, but silence nonetheless. Sitting next to each other on a couch in the common room while Ominis reads you one of his many books. Braille of course. But he's reading it out loud so you don't care What Language it's in, as long as he continues to use that soothing voice to lull you to sleep. Truthfully, you're SUPPOSED to be writing an essay for potions, and you told Ominis that hearing people read, gave you a clear mind. Though you never anticipated to be THIS relaxed by his voice. Sebastian was out running around in the library as usual, and here you were, curled up next to Ominis, head leaning on his shoulder as he read a book on (your favorite subject). Ominis read for what felt like hours and finally you were at the brink of real sleep, your body softly going limp as your head fell from his shoulder to his lap. Ominis tensed for a few minutes, but eventually he relaxed with a few deep breaths and grumbling mumbles. As your body enters a peaceful sleep, you feel a hand in your hair, softly playing with the strands, as the soothing voice continues.

@riley-beautrelle "I will never get over the fact that Louis casually read to Lestat... I imagine them on the couch in the château, with Lestat’s head on Louis’s lap, and Louis delicately brushing Lestat hand while reading... Any art like that exists???"

It does now ^_^ Thank you for inspiring me.

Surprise convenience

Yesterday I got an email reminding me to renew a subscription to a magazine (Babybug) that I got two years ago for my little niece. However, of course, she is two years older now, and doesn't need a baby magazine. I was NOT looking forward to trying to get the publisher's website to stop the subscription renewals for Babybug and upgrade to the next magazine (either Ladybug or Spider).

I mean, it should be a natural process - but it seems like every website now is cranky, hard-to-use, and just forget about calling them on the phone!!

I was so, so surprised when the "renewal" form on the website had a little box labeled "OR are you ready for the next magazine?" I . . YES! Yes, I am! I checked the box. It gave me the magazine options. I paid for the subscription. Done! Woo!

This should not feel like a big deal, but . . it felt like a big deal. Whoever designed that site recognized that people would be changing subscriptions as kids grow, and made it easy. Damn. We could live like this always.

Reading to little kids is so fun.

Kakuzu happens to find Hidan reading in bed and it is quickly apparent that what he's reading is porn.
