shallowness

I am actually into season 2 by now. I haven’t reached the point where I started watching the show properly yet, so that’s fun. Also, I learned that there were four seasons, when I’d thought there were three. So the obsession continues.

In this block, from 'Revenge' to 'Love Boat', there are two holiday-themed episodes.

I've been dabbling in the Three Sentence Ficathon - currently on its second post. Here are my fills for completeness's sake.

Waltzing Again, Gotham, Barbara/Jim, for the prompt ‘Regency AU’ (77 words) ( Read more... )

I thought this batch of recs would be done in two posts, but it's been so long in the doing that the list has grown. And I'm aware that with everyone gearing up for Christmas/Yuletide, it's far from brilliant timing. Fanfiction and fanvid recs in the following fandoms: Alice (Sy-Fy), Community, Cormoran Strike, Dead Like Me, Firefly, Gotham and Harry Potter.

When I said I had emerged from the Monarch of the Glen rabbithole, I wasn’t entirely honest, because there had been fic writing and there would continue to be as I thought about Lexie and Archie, mainly. I’ve posted three ficlets, all some flavour of Lexie/Archie. ( Read more... )

I wanted to post something this month, as this has been a surprisingly fruitful year. I’m trying to play in the Three Sentence ficathon in between holiday rushing about.

The next DVD boxset on my 'To Watch' pile was Burn Notice season 3, but as all the dramas I’ve been watching lately are spy or spy-adjacent adventures, I needed a change, and skipped to The OC season 4. It’s the first time I’ve rewatched the show since it aired, apart from seeing bits of a subbed episode somewhere on holiday. I accept the first season was probably the best, but this was the season of Ryan/Taylor, which I loved to bits, so I bought the DVDs second hand.

Anyway, the rewatch is an exercise in nostalgia – I’m still enjoying the title song – ( california! )


And yes, I was motivated to post 'EXHIBIT: Sharp-suited Man' because I watned to rewatch this.

Fanfiction, fanvid and fanart recs in the following fandoms: Arrested Development, Arrival, The Bourne franchise, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, BtVS (XO with Spooks and Sherlock), DC (Batman) and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

( Read/watch/view. Enjoy. Feedback )

Here's hoping to see Fantastic Beasts...2 and post the second part of this batch sooner rather than later!
