Baked a crumble! The recipe called it a crisp but there was nary an oat to be seen!

It came out very nice, if a bit runny, which I guess might be normal? This is a new to me recipe, but I used VERY juicy fruits.

I'm ALREADY BEHIND IN PRIMARCH WEEK, although I will catch up today. Maybe? I'm not going to stress about it because fandom is for FUN, not for stressing out on imaginary deadlines (this is why I struggle with exchanges sometimes, lol).

I have a relatively small desk, but I put a riser on it so I have a little more shelf room. I put my coziest hoodie on it and the cats have finally decided it's a nice place to hangout.

The first photo is Spicy, the second is Waffle. I love all the creatures but Waffle has a very special place in my heart. ♥ I got her from the shelter when she was a baby; she reached out and grabbed my sleeve. ;o; And she had a mystery illness when she was young and I had to give her fluids for like a week or so, which was pretty harrowing? I'd never done anything like that before and needles are scary!

Anyway, needless to say, my lil Waffle cat is very precious. ;3; She's now just aboooout 8 years old, I think? That doesn't make any sense, lol.

cypher and I are going to Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge tomorrow to stare at some very good birds. And maybe other creatures will show themselves as well! I'm gonna try to get good pictures. :3

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

Challenge 315:
LAST OF THEIR KIND

Humans are pretty social, relatively speaking, and we’re not the only ones. From mice to lions, it’s pretty common for various species to need company, whether that’s a single friend or a whole family group. So what happens when there’s no one else left?

Maybe they’re the sole survivor of a town or a city being destroyed, or even a whole country or a whole planet. Maybe the elves are slowly traveling into the west, but this one isn’t ready to leave yet, or can’t. Maybe there’s probably more of their species somewhere, but they’re on the other side of the galaxy, much too far away to ever reach again.

Write a story about the last of something.

BONUS GOAL: Stargazing

If your submission includes stars, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, September 28 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 315 – last of their kind
