Burned Out, Post #19

I've just finished two insanely crowded weeks of work, in which I just had to keep slogging through. Even so, every day makes it clearer to me just how burned out I am.

So let me ask you all for distraction. If you happen by, can you pick a pairing from List A and a word or phrase from List B? There can be repeat requests in the comments. :) I will write you a drabble or equivalent as a reply. (It might take me a couple of weeks, but anyway.)

LIST A
Giles/Anya
Adam Dalgliesh/Kate Miskin [TV show Dalgliesh only]
Mycroft/Anthea
Lord Peter/Harriet
the Marquis of Alverstoke/Frederica [my modern AU or Heyer-specific, either one]
Twelve/River Song

LIST B
mist
mellow
chill
hot tea
book spine
thunder
blanket

Thank you in advance!
