Scribblings and spectres

shallownessOver the weekend, if one uses 'weekend' loosely, I posted Neither Here nor There (Gotham, future fic, Bruce/OFC, Bruce/Selina), which I wrote and edited alongside 'The Business of Walking', although I first started writing ‘Neither…’ later. I’ve had the idea of Selina stealing an engagement ring meant for another woman for a while, but the stuff she raises here about Bruce picking Gotham first is also explored in 'The Business of Walking', only far more bitterly. I suppose you could see 'Neither Here nor There' as a sequel, although the tone is far lighter and I think a lot would have had to happen to get from one point to another. The fic is influenced by the movies, and the proximity of new canon – if I could get a chance to see it – drove me to polish it and post it. It was ready to post a week earlier, but I didn’t have enough time and energy.
I then posted two drabbles In Her Element (Sky High, Warren/Layla) and I Love You in MPH (ER, Neela/Ray). Both came to mind and were written quite soon after seeing the prompts. A prompt about a trek in the rainforest leading to Warren/Layla isn’t surprising but I have no idea why the driving a baby home prompt took me back to ER. I recall looking up Punjabi/Sikh baby names for a Reela baby (and I think it’s fanon that they have a daughter) before, though if it was for a story, it never made it on to the computer. The name Sangita means music.
In the midst of all that, I came across a casting spoiler that ought to bump Gotham higher up the catch-up queue. But the only show I talk about here I've kept up with watching live is Ghosts, because it's on a Monday night and only thirtyish minutes long.
Ghosts 1.6 Getting Out
Slightly more about the feels than the chuckles, but it’s the finale, and it was good to realise how much the ghosts (most of them) cared about Allison (and Mike) and a flicker of family feeling crossing her face, moreover. The house viewing with her new abilities was darkly funny, because she won’t be able to go on holiday (if she can afford it one day) or anything, and the pilot ghosts were so happy to see her!
Kitty was the child in the dynamic – either I’m stupid for not seeing it before, or it hasn’t been played up. I was amused that the pigeon returned as a ghost. The upstairs gang falling out with the Captain, nice Pat being made leader instead, and the Captain hearing some home truths, while entirely getting the wrong message from the basement lot’s co-operation worked. The scene with the skeletons was one of the few times the show ventured into proper horror.
In short, I HOPE IT COMES BACK.
