To conclude or not to conclude...

gilpin25Nearly three weeks with a LJ, and I've come to some conclusions:
1. I can't think of interesting posts that don't involve me doing embarrassing things, so I'm drawing conclusions instead.
2. I still don't know what half the buttons do.
3.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrstater can make a post about getting something stuck on her skirt and domestic problems, and get over 90 comments. Are there a lot of Molly Weasley's out there? ;)
4. Several people friended me after I posted a meme which apparently believes I have a robot army and the power of tan. I don't know whether to be worried or not. ;)
5. I could spend all day doing meme's and discovering that my alter ego is Hermione, my aura is yellow, I'm a film writer, I'm 20% abnormal (they don't say where the abnormality is located), my superhero is The Silver Jet, I'm 73% Scorpio (the other 27% is presumably looking for a home and a star sign), my Italian name is Allegra Esposito, and my famous last words will be "Nice doggy." Althoughmolly_coddles says I can lie, lose a decade of predicted life, but say something far more interesting like "Doctor, please do something..."
Anyway, it's fortunate I haven't done any of that, because I've been too busy finishing my last big chapter of our joint fic "Up All Night." There's one part of it I'll be happy if I never see again, but it appears I'm going to asmrstater and I have come to a joint decision to start posting the fic when I'm back from holiday (Lake District here I come and, yes, I know the one and a half people who are reading this are heaving a sigh of relief;)). So Monday 18th will be D-Day in more ways than one.
And as everyone seems to have mastered a LJ cut, apart from me, there's another short extract behind this (if it works):
He smiled. “I don’t think I’ve ever said this before, in fact I’m sure I haven’t, but please feel free to feel sorry for me in that particular way again at any time.”
She straightened up and sobered up almost instantly, her hand falling away from her mouth. Her eyes met his. They were still rather watery but they were sparkling at him, alive with amusement and … possibly something else.
Remus hesitated, reminded himself sternly that he'd given that sort of thing up for the evening and, instead, planned his next line and what she was likely to say in return. Just to make sure, he even planned the line after that. And a back-up one in case he needed to improvise, plus a spontaneous joke in case he needed to appear ... naturally spontaneous. There was also time for an emergency get-out clause, in case it all went pear shaped, though possibly that wasn’t the best choice of words after recent events.
He took a step towards her. At exactly the same time as his feet moved, there was a sharp crack next to his right ear, and his head snapped round in alarm to see what had made it.
