Because I was a little bit busy during the Georgia part of the trip, and didn't really have the ability to write up what I was doing, this is my (late late late) review of my tour through Georgia from the 8th-14th September.

So, I joined the tour late - I was supposed to join on Saturday morning when the tour began, but ended up arriving on Monday afternoon. I'm glad I took the time to recover from COVID, though - it was definitely worth it, even if the actual sickness wasn't as debilitating as initially feared.

The tour organisers arranged for a driver to take me to where the others were, and it was a little unnerving arriving at Tbilisi airport, trying to get my bearings, meet my driver, get my phone started - everything all at once! And we promptly drove out from the airport and off to the village of Signahi, where the tour had headed out to just that morning.

( Travel 2025 - Georgia )

This is the tour, with itinerary, if you're curious. I missed the first couple of days of Tbilisi, due to being sick, though.

christmas book cover with a couple, falling snow, small town

It is free book time again! This is a Christmas romance, a full length novel unrelated to my other series (though obviously it has shifter-romance-style werewolves in it). The link will work until the book goes live on Amazon on the 21st.

This book went through heavier rewrites than my books normally do, so please let me know if you notice any typos or inconsistencies and I will try to fix them!

As always, no obligation, but feel free to download and enjoy.

Fandom: LOST
Characters/Pairing/Other Subject: Individual portraits of Sayid, Desmond, Sun, Kate, Juliet, Eko, and Ana-Lucia
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Medium: digital painting
Artist on DW/LJ: n/a
Artist Website/Gallery: maddiesium on Reddit

Why this piece is awesome: These are great likenesses and wonderfully expressive of the characters. Sun's is the real standout for me, with its dramatic use of color and light and that classic Sun expression.

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (books)
Pairings/Characters: Holmes/Watson
Rating: T
Length: 47,061 words
Creator Links: Flawedamythyst
Theme: Mystery & Suspense, casefic

Summary: Moriarty kidnaps Watson.

Reccer's Notes: Watson is kidnapped by Moriarty. The story cycles between two POVs, Watson's and Holmes'. We follow Holmes as he does everything he can to find Watson, and Watson as he tries his best to survive as a prisoner. I will say Moriarty was actually menacing in this story, not watered down like some portrayals, and there is a lot suspense about if Holmes will be able to rescue Watson in time before something terrible occurs.

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay
Rating: G
Length: 1800
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: Sholio on AO3, Sholio's old SGA website
Themes: Mystery and suspense, Genfic, Ghosts

Summary: It gets bloody creepy here at night.

Reccer's Notes: This is an interesting story about Atlantis remembering her dead, and indeed those still living, in a somewhat troubling way. At first it's unclear how it's happening, but gradually John figures out it's just the city, haunted, and haunting them. Nicely creepy.

olliesqueens is a dreamwidth community dedicated to het & gen relationships of Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow, thus "Ollie's Queens". The community was imported from LiveJournal, it originally focused on the Smallville version of Oliver Queen het & gen relationships. Since lack of works posted to LJ for awhile and since Smallville had ended back 2011 (Smallville Season 11 ended in 2014) & Arrow ended in 2020, Ollie's Queens has since opened up to any universe Oliver Queen exists in, including comics, animation, films, and shows of course.

Doesn't matter if it's Canon ships or Unconventional pairings, or how rare the pairings are! If you write or want to rec something you love! PLEASE SHARE.
