*hugs fandom*

It sucks to be away from home and loved ones on your birthday, but the awesome thing about fandom is that it's portable. :-) Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday! It was so, so nice to look at my flist and see all those birthday wishes. Thanks also to lauramcewan for spending the afternoon with me yesterday! It was fantastic just to get a chance to talk to you again. And sesame balls! ;-)

It was also mijan's birthday yesterday, and we were given a couple of joint birthday fics:

hazelhawthorne wrote Proxy, or What Happens to Harry when He Listens to Fred and George. See a POTC slasher write H/D smut! :-D

marcasita wrote a lovely bit of H/D crack, Up the Ante.

I posted about this one earlier, but it's worth pointing to again: mijan drew me H/D smut! (NWS)

Thanks to furiosity and rabidpotterfan for the virtual balloons!
