... and throw the last sweetness into the heavy wine ...

[scottishlass]

Autumn has come upon us. Quickly, sneaky almost unnoticed and I love it. The leaves are still a deep, heavy green with the barest of golden and maroon hues in them. Soon they will be aflame and the last of the wine, victuals will be harvested and put away for winter.
I love this time of year, it is getting darker earlier than in the summer, the sun a fiery red and orange globe in a golden-pink tinged sky.
Same old, same old and yet different, yet always new and unique and genuine. And this year the first time without my grandparents. Now only two generations are still alive .. so many gone, but never forgotten.

I have started to read my *autumn reading*
for long bathtub sessions, a glass of good Sherry or a pot of warm vanilla or coconut tea, fragrant candles and Tom Waits on the stereo

List is above. And you should start with Naked In Death ... to get into the dynamics of the Eve/Roarke relationship - and their first time together ... it's a hot scene :)

I just printed the list and shall check at home what I have ...

And yes, Tangled Web by Jackie is for me one of THE best fanfiction stories I ever read. YAY for her contract!
