Sometimes I can't decide if my best friend is far more perceptive than I give her credit for, or just in possession of an uncanny knack to say exacty the right thing even when she doesn't know there's anything wrong.  For someone who claims that she "doesn't do" emotions, she's very good at sorting mine.

Things that need watching and reading:

- Merlin series 1 - 4.  Again.
- Matt Smith Doctor Who episodes.  Again. 
- Downton Abby, series 1 and 2.
- Community.  However many of those there are. 
- The last few episodes of Bones season 7.  Just in case things improve.
- Teen Wolf, apparently.  Tumblr says I have to. 
- Avengers.  Again.
- Hungar Games.

I used to think that I would always return, eventually, to Flintshire.  Little county where I grew up that had such a hold on me - has a hold on me still - but for all that I love it, it's not the place for me, anymore.  I feel it already.  I've only been back for a couple of short trips in the last year, and it just doesn't...connect.  It's still ( Read more... )

Erm.  This is old. Three years and counting.  I tried to make it a fic, and that didn't really work, so I tried to make it a meta-headcanon thing, and that didn't really work either, so now it's sort of all of that and who knows if it makes any sense.

With apologies to Sue Long, in whose second year genetics lectures this was first scribbled down.

Life is confusing.

Oh Castle.

I think my brain has exploded with joy.

I mean.  Just.  Words don't work.  I have ALL the feelings and no way of getting them out.  AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE FINALE YET.

Speaking of which.  That promo.  OH MY FRICKING GOD THAT PROMO.

CAPS.  LOTS OF CAPS.

Where is the deliciously written post-ep fic?!  I need it more than oxygen. 

At the moment I'm spending a great deal of time reading either gut-punchingly well written fanfiction or scientific papers from the early 1900s.  This combination is doing funny things to my head.

I'm not a huge fan of history as a subject.  My sister is; she loves the stories, I think, and the echoes of the past that leak into the present, how ( Read more... )

I've realised what I really need in my life right now is the fic where Castle didn't meet Damian Westlake at boarding school and so does end up becomig a lawyer (who still writes novels in his spare time, because, well. Rick Castle).  And one day, when he's rich and successful on the back of numerous high-profile celebrity cases, his firm hires a ( Read more... )

I start a lot of stuff.  Not so hot at finishing.

Kalidoscope - Mediator AU.  Once upon a time a human fell in love with a ghost and they lived happily ever after. This is not (quite) that story.  Multiple oneshots or full-length story?  ARGH decisions.  In progress.

I meant to do this weeks ago, back at the start of Janaury.  A new year resolution post.  As with so many other things, I never got round to it, and now nearly two months have passed.  1/6 of 2012 ( Read more... )
