Thank you allows me to celebrate someone else's generosity and kindness and compassion to me.<br /><br />I'm working on saying sorry less (but still when needed!) and thank you far more often (even more than needed!). <br /><br />Life goals and ambitions.<br /><br />Maybe "Thank you" will be my "word" for 2019.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=bewize&ditemid=667651" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-03:244585:580708 2010-09-09T19:53:19Z 2010-09-09T19:55:22Z public 0 <b>Title:</b> Still<br /><b>Fandom:</b> Death Note<br /><b>Pairing:</b> Mello/Matt <br /><b>Prompt:</b> Written for <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://elwing-alcyone.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://elwing-alcyone.dreamwidth.org/'><b>elwing_alcyone</b></a></span> at <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://fic-promptly.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png' alt='[community profile] ' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://fic-promptly.dreamwidth.org/'><b>fic_promptly</b></a></span> for the prompt: Death Note, Mello/Matt, nothing turned out the way they thought it would<br /><b>Warnings:</b> Unbetad.<br /><b>Rating:</b> Spoilers hinted at, I suppose.<br /><b>Summary:</b> <i>There were moments, not many, but memorable, where Mello stilled.</i><br /><b>Disclaimer:</b> Not mine. <br /><b>A/N:</b> So, I've not written much in months.
