Consider yourself warned that big parts of this fic are purely born out of me being hungry, wanting something specific to eat, or just generally dreaming of having this or that treat.

Having said that, I think I have managed to reign my characters in and bring them back on track for now. And lucky for me, the food-related detour magically tied in with something I had mentioned en passant a couple weeks ago. So either my subconscious knows a lot more about how this story will play out than I do, or I'm just a damn lucky girl.

And a dead tired girl as well. To quote dear Bilbo, I feel like butter scraped over too much bread.
But thankfully, it's a long weekend, and thanks to my uni schedule and a course having been cancelled nearly a whole free week... so enough time to get shit done and finally get back in touch with you all...

But first, it's off to bed for me. I need a good night's sleep or five now more than anything (well, maybe apart from chocolate. I could do with chocolate now ;) )!

You'd be amazed how many times I've done that too. I suddenly find myself writing something that fits perfectly with an earlier event - even although both were totally unplanned - at least consciously!

It’s amazing how our brains work, isn’t it? I’ve had a similar (if a lot more profound plot-wise) situation in one of my earlier LotR fics where I unconsciously wrote a similar fate for my character’s mum than the situation that ultimately led the daughter to being where she was, and I only noticed the coincidence and how perfectly it tied the story-line together (and made another character’s mysterious aside on how he knew more about her mother’s fate suddenly make sense) when one of my readers commented on it, complimenting me for how well thought-out that parallel was. Ummmm... yeah snorts
