Apologies for missing yesterday, the combination of a job application and a cold meant my brain went off for a wander.

Woot, I wrote added big chunk to my crossover today. The words flowed well and it was fun, but I'm a little sad that I didn't have time for my yuletide fic because of it.

Yeah, I used variations on "think/thought" a lot, and in romantic fic "look", "glance" etc, especially the nouns. In English, I also add lots of "Well"s to direct speech, whereas in German, I overuse "ja" in speech.
