May the magic be with us all!

Real life has been getting badly in the way with pico this month, but I managed to do 360 words this evening. Just some shortish light fanfic (Lord Peter Wimsey bodyswap, oh dear), but fun to do. I'm hoping to get this one finished in a couple of days, and then move back to the main fic and see if I can push it along a bit. So here is Harriet, in a bar, in Peter's body, with Peter in hers, contemplating the complicating prospects of alcohol...

***

Seated in the bar, Harriet contemplated the possible effects of brandy and soda on an empty stomach and shuddered. It was all right for Peter, who had ordered coffee, but Hardy was already on his second glass and she suspected that masculine codes required her to at least drink one.

Body swap is fun. And Real Life can be a bitch sometimes.

Thanks! It is proving a lot of fun to write.

I am of course eagerly looking forward to this one, I wonder which of them will have the harder time! No doubt there are codes about these things.

Peter is definitely having the harder time, though this is partly because Harriet is massively in denial.

Every fandom needs a good bodyswap story! Kudos on getting some words on paper despite a hectic non-writing life.

Thanks! A bit of bum-on-seat application is needed as much as anything, and I hope pico will give me the needed jolt.

Always a fun idea, but especially with them.

Well done for writing despite interference. I hope RL eases off a bit.

THanks. I think it should let up a little bit before too long - then I just need to use the time wisely...

Poor Harriet - she is certainly right about it being a bad idea.

It's hard getting past life for fiction sometimes...
