Either the Mabinogion is getting more surreal, or I'm hallucinating

I was in bed with a fever most of yesterday. I tried my best to go into work this morning, but started throwing up. I left a message with one of my coworkers, but she didn't come into work either (her daughter has the same thing), so I got an irritated call from another coworker around 9 asking why I wasn't in.

I'm doing a fair bit better, now. I can get around, now, and even went down to Pharmaprix to get my allergy medication.

I only got 800 words written yesterday.

I did finally finish reading the Peredur cycle in the Mabinogion. Turned out that half the women Peredur interacted with (including the maiden carrying the Spear of Longinus, and the severed head that replaces the Grail in this version) were actually a shapechanging teenage boy in magical drag.

I'll let you make of that what you will.

I was going to ask if there any ancient Welsh slash out there. The ancient Greeks had slash fanfic about Achilles and Patroclus, so why not the Welsh?

Of course there is, at least now. By the Law Of The Internet, once you've thought it, someone has written it. Addenda a) and b) are "although it's probably misspelled and authored by someone who has never seen another human naked" and "but that doesn't stop someone else from getting off on it anyway", respectively.

Let us be thankful this idea at least kind of makes sense and doesn't hurt my brain, unlike the Merry-Pippin-Treebeard "treesome" one of my friends ran into, once upon a time.

Two I declined to click on were links promising slash fan drawings of Hagrid/Mad-Eye Moody, and Archer/Wrath.

But then, in an internet where I once stumbled across Who's the Boss fanfic, anything is possible.
