elrhiarhodan My birthday was on Saturday, and it was FABULOUS - not only did I get Surprise Cake TWICE, but I got props and fics and LJ gifts galore. I got home tres late on Saturday, and I meant to write a long thank-you post, plus individual responses on Sunday - but the birfday fun continued in the morning, and the Muse was riding me hard through the afternoon and evening (scratched out 400 words of VampireWorld, but wrote another 2000).
So, I intended to take a long, morning coffee break and thank each and everyone of my awesome flist, but that won't be possible until must later today. I walked in the door and found a total shitstorm on my desk. I probably won't get back to LJ until I can get home tonight.
So, to be brief...![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
ursula4x - Thank you for not only filling a prompt I didn't think fillable, you did it with incredible grace and beauty. asimaiyat - Your Honfleur piece is incredible. Art and angst...sigh. A lovely, lovely gift.shelley6441 - I was sitting with friends and checking my LJ via Journaler on my iPhone. I busted a gut trying to keep my whoops of happiness inside. My RL friends know nothing about my LJ life, and I didn't want to explain about the porn writing, yet.
All others - don't feel slighted...I love you all and will be more thorough tonight. Please accept this snippet from Vampire!World as evidence of my deepest love for all of you...
About three years into his service, Neal walked in on something that shocked him to the core. He had gone to Peter’s office to report on his daytime inspection some of the clan’s local holding, and found him and Jones feeding off of each other. Jones’ uniform jacket was half off his body, and Peter’s fangs were buried at the muscled point where the neck meets the shoulder. Peter was naked from the waist up and had one arm around his first lieutenant’s waist. His other arm was drawn tight against his body, and Jones had bitten into Peter’s wrist. Neal’s breath caught in his throat at the sight of the two vampires wrapped in such an intimate embrace, and he was instantly, unbearably aroused. It would have been a cliche to say that they glowed, but Peter looked like he was illuminated from within, and light from his skin reflected on the polished darkness of Jones’ face as he took sustenance.
Neal must have made a sound, because Peter’s eyes snapped opened, they were burning white, brighter than his flesh. Neal’s presence didn’t seem to disturb him in his feeding – to the contrary, Peter pulled Jones closer. When Jones released his hold on his wrist - the fangs withdrawing made a sound like nothing Neal had ever heard before - Peter wrapped both his arms around him and the embrace turned explicitly sexual. There was no mistaking both vampire’s arousals as the writhed against each other, all while Neal was locked into Peter’s white gaze.
Neal stood there, mesmerized for the space of twenty, no, a thousand heartbeats. Jones had buried his hands in Peter’s hair and was rocking his hips against his captain’s bulging groin. Peter lifted his head up from Jones’ shoulder and still staring at Neal, licked his lips and ground himself hard against Jones. Neal came, without ever touching himself.

That was so freaking hot, omg. And INTENSE.
And you're very welcome! I'm glad you liked your birthday present!

Date: 2010-04-12 01:26 pm (UTC)I must have somehow missed the first part of the Vampire!World series *goes back to check* and I usually don't read vampire stuff aside from BtVS, which has been my primary fandom for years (I still love it but it has taken on a more lets say passive position) but this is actually really intriguing, totally hot and I'd love to read more of it!
A big plus is of course that it isn't about teen angst-y sparkling pg-rated vamps *shudder* like so much lately, but blood and a bit of gore and sex. So, yeah, definitely looking forward to more ^__^

<3 <3 <3 (HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!)
