Happy Autumn Equinox

I've been feeling distinctly un-autumn-y, or even looking-forward-to-autumn late-summer-y this year, which is weird because autumn is perhaps my favourite time of year. The weather around here just doesn't seem to have got there yet, although there are a few leaves on the turn.

Today though, I'm feeling a bit more autumn-y: looking forward to crisp cold days (yeah I know, this is England, we'll be lucky...!) and lights shining against the encroaching darkness, and the smell of fallen leaves and bonfires. Maybe because it actually is raining a bit today, and because it is actually the autumn equinox too - from now on, days get shorter and shorter, in lads'-land, and its fair game to imagine B/D all cosy in thick jumpers, and hot showers, and lovely things like that.

Come to think of it, I had a wee autumn-based storylist up at Palelyloitering:
Autumn Afternoon by PFL
Autumn Leaves Falling by Anon (ProsLib)
Autumn Rain by Jennifer Lyon
Cider with Bodie by Lizzie
Fade Away by Agentsophisticat
October by Rowan
Point of Law by Verlaine
Redemption - of a Sort by LilyK
Third Friday of October by Dana Austin Marsh
The Wolf-Price by ER (ProsLib)

I've not read any of them for ages (or some at all, and I've just added a couple from a quick search on ProsLib) so no guarantees... I'd love some more autumn-y feel stories to read, if anyone's got any recs! (Not bonfire night, or Halloween yet, just... leaves turning, jackets needed... *g*)

Oh! And whee - I found an autumn fic that I started writing myself. Maybe if I get my skates on over work I'll see if I can do some writing... *g*
