the wrong end of the telescope

So it was torakowalski's birthday yesterday. This was supposed to be posted then, but due to a series of unfortunate events (a lost bank card, a broken power chord, a family that is just not behaving well), it is a little bit late. It is also not as long as I meant it to be, because they've not made it easy, these two. But here it is, this silly little thing, and I hope you like it.

I just--Tora. Tora Tora Tora. She chatfics things like Brendon/Peter Parker, girl!Bob/girl!Brian, Bob/Patrick/Brian and so on, she saves me from sleeping on the streets of London when Heathrow closes down, she likes bookstores as much as I do and lets me make her read things, and she's just about the awesomest friend you could have. I can't tell you how glad I am that you are in my life, darling. (You all wish you had a Tora, but you can't have mine).

Author's Notes: For kickingrad on her (belated) birthday. ♥, dearling, I hope it satisfies. Sorry it's so bloody late: there was some debate about whether or not I should include the porn or write it separate. This has the porn. Also I love you.

The title is from Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay."

Thanks to blindmouse for betaing the first half, and to novembersmith for doing a second beta, and to everyone who reassured me about this.

( Lindsey likes it. She likes the slouchy pants and the hat pulled down low, the undershirt soft against her skin and the suspenders just so. )

So it's torakowalski's birthday. Most of you don't know this, but Tora was basically my second friend on livejournal, or something like that (we met because I started telling her a story about Bob kidnapping his poor, stressed manager and taking him on a road trip to the Grand Canyon--yes, that story), and she was the third one I met in real life. You guys, she is so wonderful. Hilarious (and she has the best smile) and tiny and great and we spent an afternoon at Foyle's talking about Bob/Brian porn and scandalizing the poor gentleman next to us--and soon I will see her again! I am of the excitement.

This is my poor, paltry offering for her birthday--it is so silly, so silly, but you know how ridiculous I am, darling, and I hope you like it. It's been--you are a good part of why my life is just a little better these days. All the love ever, yeah? ♥
