Rec of the day

Tearing myself away from book two of the Hunger Games long enough to post my rec of the day...
No More Mr. Nice Guy by cornerofmadness (FMA)
1100 words; PG-13; characters: Roy, Al, Riza; genre: post-manga/friendship
... in which Al comes to Roy for advice.

"I don't even see why being sweet is a bad thing," Al huffed.
"It's not, Al. Not at all. You're a delightful young man, and I'm pretty sure it's not your easygoing nature that's the problem. You spent your formative years in a very unique condition. You're still learning to relate to people again, and your biggest influence in learning to talk to women has been your brother. Let's face it, that was not helpful."

I have a half-finished pencil drawing of Teyla & co riding a hippogriff-thing, but every time I tried to finish it I got drawn back to my book. Maybe tomorrow will be productive. I think my real work won't get here before Monday so I will have time for crack fanart.

Or I guess I could work on my two original projects. Fanart is just very alluring.

But at least I'm making progress with my Japanese. I'm re-reading fma on and off and I can finally read it without consulting the English translation. That's a really good feeling! Took long enough!
