Accidental Swimming Lesson

Note to self: the river in February is COLD! Also: river mud grabs and pulls, and then holds tight. Bank climbing is also difficult. On the plus side, those boots were absolutely worth the money. Two minutes after full imersion, and the water is only starting to come in. Downside is that they then hold it longer. Cold slog, buy clothes, change shivering in department store toilet. Oh joy. My legs are still numb, and my hands are tingly and smell of mud. Not to mention my boots. I'd hug them, but I only just got dry.

In conclusion, impromptu swimming lessons, in February, fully clothed, are sooo not fun. 

Notes on AUs

As in, why I love them, to read and to write.

( The wonder of a good AU )

Batfic, playing

Me playing with a brief AU, of the Transylvanian kind.

Title:  Castle Wayne
Rating:  PG-13
Characters/Pairings:  Bruce/Clark, Dick/Babs (mentioned), Alfred, Cassandra, Tim, Jason, Lois (mentioned), Jim (mentioned).
Summary:  In which Bruce is Count Wayne, vampire lord, Dick a love-drunk bat circling the tower, Babs a flame-haired temptress, Alfred, Tim and Jason werewolves, Cass a sinuous werepanther, Jim the village Inspector trying to accept his daughter's apparent interspecies relationship, and Clark a very, very confused holidaying reporter with sun-magic.
Wordcount:  2833 
Notes:  More Addams Family than Dracula, and more soppy than spooky. Also Bruce, Clark, Cass and Alfred are focus, and I may have gone overboard singing Alfred's praises. *looks sheepish* Again, I was just playing. Getting back in the swing, as it were.
