Keenly aware that I have 34 minutes in which to write this or I shall be missing a day for the first time since I started this project, here are three excellent things that happened today.
- I had a chat with my Big Boss. It went well. (<==this is my British side talking) I AM SO RELIEVED, Y'ALL, I CANNOT TELL YOU. It took me weeks to work up the courage to ask for the meeting, so actually having it happen and it be okay is EPIC. (<==this is my American side talking)
- I found out that two of my favourite people are dating. I may have done flaily muppet arms when I was informed of this.
- I saw Black Panther tonight and it was everything I could have hoped and more. Share with me your favourite fics?

Summary:
“Cousin,” Prince T’Challa says, the sincerity radiating off him like sunlight, as Erik stares in disbelief. “Welcome home. I’m glad that you have been found at last.”
He’s practically disoriented, that’s the only excuse Erik has got for letting himself slip and say, still staring at T’Challa, “I go by Erik, actually.”

“What are you talking about? You went to South Korea and brought back a CIA agent for us to repair, of course we are going to heal a member of the Wakandan royal family who is injured IN WAKANDA.” She paused, then poked at the wound a bit more aggressively than was probably necessary. “Even if he is a psychopath.”

Series: Part 2 of Shadow of the Panther
Summary:
When M’Baku was eighteen and had grown taller than his father and his father’s father, he saw the golden city of Birnin Zana for the first time. The sun was setting over the mountain’s teeth, drawing harsh lines over the huge sculpture of a panther, prowling out of the rock.
“What do you see?” his grandmother had asked.
Even in the twilight of her life, Ngozi stood light-footed on the narrow stone ledge outside the tunnel inset to the sheer cliff. She wore a longbow strapped to her back and no other weapon. In all eighty years of her life no one had ever gotten close enough to her in battle to scratch her.
“The city of our enemies.”

Lawyer and I have been trying to see Black Panther for three weeks, and we have finally decided to bunk off and do it this afternoon. (We've had a massive number of evening meetings recently, so I'm trying not to feel too guilty...)

It sounds like you could use a break. I hope Black Panther provides a welcome escape!

Jolly good show, Old Bean! [TIPS HAT] (<==this is my mocking-the-toffs persona speaking)
2. I love it when things like that happen. =:o} I recently had a penny-drop moment about two colleagues. I don't know either of them *well*, so while I don't feel I can/should say anything to them it's been interesting seeing their workplace interactions in a new light, and I quietly wish them well (as I do your two friends, natch).
3. Not seen it, probably won't see it at the cinema (I almost never go these days), so I'm looking forward to it turning up on TV and/or affordable download. (I also need to catch up on the 2nd Guardians o/t Galaxy, and the last two or three Star Wars movies, as I'm being blasted with trailers for "The Last Jedi" all day long at work and spoilers via FB at home!)

2. I am very pleased, as this is a match I would have designed if I ruled the universe. :D
3. I hope you do enjoy the film when you get a chance to see it! The Vue cinema in Fulham Broadway is doing an "all films £6.99 for every showing" thing at the moment. Might be worth checking if there's something similar near you. It might be even less if you don't live in London. :P

Huzzah for the pairing.
No fic recs yet for Black Panther, but it was a fantastic movie and I very much enjoyed it.
