January Thaw Walk-About

January Thaw Walk-About: The weather's been crazy, to put it mildly. With this second, post-Christmas thaw the snow is mostly gone. Monday it almost reached 50°F and it wasn't raining, so I decided to walk around the garden and check on things.

The weather’s been crazy, to put it mildly. I know most of the country has endured similar: a thaw the week before Christmas, a sudden drop to unseasonably frigid temperatures, and (once everyone’s holiday plans were screwed up) a return to unseasonably warm temperatures. I was thankful that we didn’t lose our snow cover during the first thaw, so that the plants did have some protection when the…

Elucien NSFW Fanfic

Status: Complete (6/6) | Pt 1, Pt 2, Pt 3, Pt 4, Pt 5, Pt 6

Under the anonymous screen name witch_hazel, Elain Archeron has been moderating the chatroom of rising OnlyFans creator, swiper-no-swiping (Lucien) for a little less than a year. When he comes to Velaris from out of town, they agree to meet up, and the unspoken attraction between them reaches a boiling point.

Heyyyy guys. It is finished! See below for a silly lil fake tweet I made using pics from pinterest, followed by a silly lil snippet <3 ttyl

A bathroom. Perfect.

Elain fell back against the door, both to catch her breath and to keep the door shut in case anyone walked in to find her absolutely losing her shit. As she waited for her heart rate to approach a more normal pace, she scanned the bathroom to make sure that it was empty.

It was incredibly nice, as far as public restrooms went. It was perfectly clean, and the sink to her immediate right was set in a gorgeous, black marble counter. She set her empty glass down there before she looked at the rest of the room. The stalls were each completely closed off in their separate rooms with a full door, instead of short, metal partitions, and on the opposite wall…

There was a urinal. Elain had somehow found her way into the men’s room.

Immediately, she reached behind herself to lock the door, but she didn’t feel it latch. When she turned around to look at it, she found that the lock was broken.

Elain stared dumbfounded at the door for a moment, before looking back down to her hands.

Now that she had actually given herself a moment to breathe, her attempt to find some privacy so that she could sext Lucien seemed even more ridiculous. Her reflection stared back at her from her screen, and she could see that her eyes were wide, and her hair had become somewhat undone. She looked absolutely mad.

So tell me what they look like, Elain.

“Fuck it,” Elain muttered. Imagining Lucien’s voice asking about her panties was enough to get her right back on track, no matter how ludicrous it was. She whirled around and headed straight for the first toilet, and shut the door behind her. At least the stall locked, even if the door to the entrance didn’t.

The entire bathroom might have been small, but once she was in the stall, Elain felt absolutely claustrophobic. The walls went from the floor to the ceiling, completely enclosing the space, and it was so cramped that she hardly had the room to turn around. But eventually, Elain managed. She propped up one foot–clad in a very expensive heel–on the toilet lid, and opened up her phone camera.

When she was done, Elain smoothly stepped out of the stall, and set her phone down beside the sink while she calmly, very normally washed her hands. Her screen remained unlocked, and right there in her text thread with Lucien were two new messages.

Elain: fine, you were right

Elain: if only you were here to call me out on the lie [Picture Attached]

Elain was wearing a white lace thong, for the record.

The First Blooms of 2019

The First Blooms of 2019

Desperate times call for desperate measures. And who is more desperate than the cold climate gardener who’s been inundated with social media images of spring flowers blooming in warmer climates?

Thank goodness my “desperate measures” are already in place. I’ve been planting early blooming bulbs where the snow melts firstfor several years. And every time the snow starts to melt, I check all those…

Under the anonymous screen name witch_hazel, Elain Archeron has been moderating the chatroom of rising OnlyFans creator, swiper-no-swiping (Lucien) for a little less than a year. When he comes to Velaris from out of town, they agree to meet up, and the unspoken attraction between them reaches a boiling point.

This is me doing the Elucien version of Things You Can't Have, thanks to an innocuous comment made by @separatist-apologist a long time ago that got this idea into my head, and then things just spiraled out of control. (This should teach you all not to give me ideas, because I WILL run away with them and that's a threat.)

Parts 4/5? 6? Are out now.

HUGE thanks to @headcanonheadcase for beta'ing most of this!

To be clear, this is set in a different universe from Things. I just wanted to write Elucien smut. Read tags please :P Snippet below the cut.

“You’re really great at all of that stuff,” Lucien said. “What stuff?” Elain said. “The OnlyFans stuff,” Lucien answered. “Playlists, analytics, modding. Have you really never considered doing it yourself?” “You mean, starting an OnlyFans?” Elain asked. “Yeah,” Lucien said. “I’m surprised you haven’t thought of it before.” Elain strode across the room and went to turn around the screen to face him. But when she rounded that corner, she slammed directly into Lucien, and would have fallen if it wasn’t for the fact that he caught her. Slowly, Elain let her gaze travel up to Lucien’s face, eyes snagging halfway up, because he must have undone some of the buttons of his shirt while he waited for her. And now his chest was exposed, the line of his sternum looking tantalizing and the column of his throat looking so tender that she wanted to sink her teeth into it. But what truly stopped her in her tracks was the look in his russet eyes, so warm that they were practically a fire blazing across her face. “I have,” Elain said softly, before he could let go of her. “You have what?” he asked loftily, as if he was in some sort of trance. “Thought about it,” Elain said. "There's a camera on my dresser."

Growing The Earliest Blooms: The Challenge Continues

Growing The Earliest Blooms: The Challenge Continues

In my quest to extend the gardening season by growing very early and very late blooming plants, I have begun growing “spring”-blooming* witch hazels. In 2017 I planted ‘Ripe Corn,’ ‘Orange Encore,’ and ‘Birgit’–all Hamamelis x intermedia (hybrids of H. japonica crossed with H. mollis). Only ‘Birgit’ is alive; the other two were eaten during the winter. Last year I planted ‘Pallida,’ ‘Diane,’ and
