weofodthignenThe sky was dramatic all day: intense blue with racks of broken cloud lines overlaid with whisps like arcane symbols. It was never intensely hot and this evening became cool enough that I closed windows against the chill; most days the a/c has been firing up in late afternoon, causing me to close them and then later reopen them. But the forecast is for a heat dome next week, although we should be on the edge of it and less baking than across the Bay. Here's hoping.

But it’s thyme for a change.
All our sagest advice
Which may pepper this exchange
Can’t convince me to salt away
-- Even just for a slice --
The balms and the bitters
That give life its spice.

About me: Hello, my name is Rufus and I love writing. I tend to dabble in a lot of fandoms as I go through them but some will stick longer than others. I don't always post my fics here so please do follow my ao3 if you enjoy them but I will sometimes post fics here long, long before I post them to ao3, if ever, usually because I don't like them enough to go onto my ao3 until I do. These days, I write original work the most. I love writing slow burn romances. In real life, I am a practicing Muslim and a psychologist specialising in childcare, development, and education.
What you'll find on my journal: Fics, exchange letters, the occasional blog post. I am trying to make those more frequent!

( Favourite ships )
( Other things I like but am not necessarily fannish about )

Sunshine Revival Challenge - 2025 Goals + Fic
Jul. 3rd, 2025 08:09 pmbadass_tigerThis was kind of a hard one. I don't seem to think in terms of goals even though I have things like daily to-do lists. Here are a few things I managed to think of:
( Goals )
And here's a fic although ao3 is down right now, I somehow managed to post it 20 minutes before maintenance which must be really annoying for people who got it in their notifications but can't read it right now so I'll post it here too (I mean why not)

Jul. 2nd, 2025 09:51 pmweofodthignenThe dog took me on a long walk today: all the way to the park and looping back through part of it. That was after insisting on lying in the grass for much of the afternoon.
No cat sightings, unfortunately.

A Song on the End of the World by Czeslaw Milosz
Jul. 3rd, 2025 05:00 pmconulyOn the day the world ends
A bee circles a clover,
A fisherman mends a glimmering net.
Happy porpoises jump in the sea,
By the rainspout young sparrows are playing
And the snake is gold-skinned as it should always be.
On the day the world ends
Women walk through the fields under their umbrellas,
A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn,
Vegetable peddlers shout in the street
And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island,
The voice of a violin lasts in the air
And leads into a starry night.
And those who expected lightning and thunder
Are disappointed.
And those who expected signs and archangels’ trumps
Do not believe it is happening now.
As long as the sun and the moon are above,
As long as the bumblebee visits a rose,
As long as rosy infants are born
No one believes it is happening now.
Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet
Yet is not a prophet, for he’s much too busy,
Repeats while he binds his tomatoes:
There will be no other end of the world,
There will be no other end of the world.
Warsaw, 1944
