September

I just got back from walking the dogs (as is my wont around this time of day), and this time, I was wishing for a jacket. It's chilly out! Well, okay. It's 78F and cloudy and breezy out. Whatever, chilly. Aw, fall's happening again. The leaves started turning a couple weeks ago. And the days are shortening, of course...because Nashville's about 45 minutes west of the line between the Eastern and Central time zones, we get everything early--sunrise, noon, sunset. I'd prefer it the other way around.

How strange to be here for fall, and not at Kenyon. That hasn't happened in a while.¹

Drive-by fic rec: Grounds for Annulment by SubRosa. Six, Peri, hilarious.

Very amusing fic, yeah, and quite amusing in places.

I think the moment that really got me is where Peri says or suggests that she's lost friends before after sleeping with them. With the whole focus on her assets and attire from the beginning (which is of course very in keeping with her episodes)...it paints an interesting and to me slightly sad picture of a girl who's always had some of her self-esteem wrapped up in her attractiveness, perhaps. Not sure that's how I choose to think of Peri (and it fits far too well with the disturbing fan theory out there about her relationship with her stepdad), but it's well-played and thoughtful, and adds intriguing layers to her relationship with Six.

Of course, I also half-ship Five and Peri myself...

Ack! That was very *interesting* fic, and quite amusing in places.

Interesting theory. As I still have yet to see any of her episodes, I don't really have any theories about her...but your reading of the implications of this fic seems sound.
