And you won't get me with with your belladonna in the coffee

For my birthday with an assist from Whumptober, thisbluespirit wrote me elegantly toxic, time-sliding casefic for Sapphire & Steel: "Lavender's Green." It features two original and one inimitable element who can be seen played by their proper actors in this fortuitous gif from Breakaway (1980) and is obviously soundtracked by the eponymous nursery rhyme, but pleasantly reminded me as well of one of my recurring autumnal songs which people would even have been listening to in 1983. I read it in fall sunshine and closed the sliding glass doors to the sun porch very carefully.

Btw, I'm amused, as you're not the only flister who gave me a song back, in return for the earworm. (theseatheseatheopensea went for Marillion's Lavender.)

Nice! If I add Eliza Carthy's "Lavenders," we can build a playlist.

I really like thisbluespirit's Sapphire & Steel. Have you seen their catalogue of original and other elements?

[ashlyme]

That catalogue is also damned good!

(Also, it's great to see Coffee Homeground getting some love.)

I am present, cautiously, through four days of headache at this point, attempting to write reciprocal fic featuring two of the others, which I shall now try not to jinx.

It was the first song by Kate Bush I ever heard.

Ooh ooh ooh! Fingers crossed - but I hope the headache's gone now.

The headache is still with me, alas, but *cough*

[ashlyme]
