Oh man, I have been so silent this week. It's been a bonkers week; things have been crazy since Tuesday or so, but they really ramped up with a power outage on Thursday and then the entire midwestern airport network basically shutting down on Friday. I was meant to fly to Austin this weekend for a birthday visit with my folks, but then some poor fuck set fire to himself at the Aurora radar/routing station, and both of Chicago's airports were shut down. It's just as well I didn't try to rebook my flight for today, since today's flight I would have taken was also cancelled.

There were no tickets for next weekend, the weekend after would have cost me $300 extra, the weekend after that I have a preoperation appointment on Monday -- surgery in November, bye bye hernia! -- and the weekend after that is five days from when Mum comes to Chicago anyway.

So, no trip to Austin for me this fall. I'll be there at Christmas, and a little Austin goes a long way, so I'm not super upset about it. Mum's unhappy, but she still gets to go see the play we were going to, so that'll be a nice distraction.

Talking of distractions, I have a ton of fanfic to post in the next few weeks, so here's a start!

Title: Tony Stark On The Rocks
Rating: PG
Summary: Tony can't figure out why his dates keep bolting. It's okay, though, because Steve's always around to keep him entertained.
Notes: Inspired by a discussion with Knottahooker and Scifigrl47 about how Tony's Life, Man.
Warnings: While it's played for laughs, I feel like I should warn that some of Steve's behavior in this is bordering on the not-okay, in a possessive/controlling sense. I don't think it's particularly offensive but people who have been in controlling relationships or have triggers associated with them may wish to proceed with caution.

Yeah, we finally figured out that was why I couldn't get a ticket out *facepalm*

Apparently it's also Wizard World Austin, *and* UT vs Baylor.

Yeah, I'm not leaving North Austin for love or money this weekend.

I like how Austin crams a month's worth of events into every weekend. Like how Pride and the biker rally are always the same time.
