And I've just finished _Pawn in Frankincense_. THREE HOURS after I should have gone to sleep. Luckily, though, what with that plus the news today, now I will probably never sleep again.

Do not, under any circumstance, read this book if you have a one-year-old son. That's my advice.

I need a unicorn chaser in the worst way.

ETA: My unicorn chaser is "Your Daddy's Aim is True", hockey RPF, Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews, explicit. It is also kidfic. The porn bits and the kid bits are ENTIRELY SEPARATE AND NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED.

And here is the thing: although mostly I dig the porn in slash, you could take the porn entirely out of this story and it would still be the best. The porn is beside the point. Here is my very favorite line:

Patrick just stares at him, because - ready? Ready for what? You do not get ready to take care of a baby by just getting handed one and a bunch of stuff and going to it.

Ahahahahaha.

Noted, and *hugs* if wanted.

Would dancing boy butts help? Have some. They make me giggle, anyway.

Yeah, I don't know if I will ever re-read. Certainly not soon.

Oh honey. [hugs] if you want them. That's a rough book, no kidding. I still tear up whenever I read ...well, never mind, my triggers might be yours. Here:

OMG NO.

If I'd known you were reading those--did I know that? Did I fail to warn you off? If so, I most heartily apologize.

They're brilliantly written, but NO ONE with a small child should read past the second book.

I'm so sorry.

i read those years ago. i think i won't reread. maybe i'll involve halfprice books in my effort to not reread.

i got nothing about unicorns. all the cuteness i have atm involves two year old boys, which i expect won't help.

Yeah, no, I wouldn't. I want to read the next ones, but I'm going to take a break first.

Hee!

I'm lucky enough not to have triggers, but it's a very, very upsetting book. Thanks for the unicorn. :)

No, I don't think I had mentioned it before? IDK. I want to read the next ones, but are they also chock full o' child harm? :( I can deal with regular, GRRM-level torture porn (although it's not my favorite) but no more child abuse and death, I cannot.

Do not. Do not reread that one. I am serious.

Cuteness involving two year olds who are currently being happy and cared for and loved is MORE THAN WELCOME. I think I will go look at your blog!

No, this is the high point of child-harm. In fact, tbh, you barely see Kuzum again. The next two are chock full of ManPain, though.

I have some links to cute pictures of an 8.5 month old here! http://kate-nepveu.dreamwidth.org/492537.html

Also that story is hilarious, and how it makes all that funny I am not sure, but it's impressive.
