Back From a (Planned) Hospital Trip with Miriam

Miriam had a colonoscopy at 7:15 this morning. Between the time and the strict schedule she had to drink 4 liters of vile preparatory stuff on, we decided to just stay up all night. All was fine, and I woke up at 4 O' clock today. I'm hoping she wakes up soon. We've been talking about ordering out for something tasty to kind of make up for the last couple days for her, and I'm *hungry*!

I tried to help make the whole prep procedure more bearable by reading to her. I've been really missing that since the fire claimed the last book we were going through, so I found Owl House fan fiction to share. I've almost given up on fan-fiction because so much of it is written so abysmally that I just can't get past it, so it's a real treat when I find something where the narrative is more prominent than the spelling, grammar, and poor story telling.

I found a risqué alternate universe story where a mid-twenties Amity is a professor at Hexside University and a 19-year-old Luz is in one of her classes as she tries to learn enough magic to get home. When an inebriated Luz hears Amity's siblings call her Mittens and begins calling her "Dr. Mittens" I couldn't keep reading for the laughter!

I would love that! thank you!

Owl House has a same sex female couple in a central role and it's so cute and adorable and makes me really happy! I've needed that lately. :)

Ah I found it but I also asked him for more recommendations, since he is fanatical about Owl House and has good taste.

Lucia. It's an Owl House/Carmilla crossover. I haven't read it as I'm unfamiliar with both of those but like I said, I like his other writing a lot.

Nifty! I have not heard of Carmilla, but I am very out of the loop on current media. Our friends we stayed with after the fire got Miriam and I started on Our Flag Means Death and Owl House, and those are about the only current properties I know!

ETA: Oh, I see that Carmilla was written in 1872, so I guess it's only modern by certain definitions of modernity. It looks interesting!

Yeah, haha. There was this whole spate of interest in Carmilla on my Discord because Victorian lesbian vampires. I didn't read it but apparently it's not great and my various friends wanted to improve it.
