If you haven't already seen it, the Ghosts film has a proper trailer now, and lololol, brilliant. I hope it doesn't take too long to turn up on the BBC after its release:

I've posted fic but not an update lately so - I am okay and getting more okay again now it is not summer and also now the country is not on fire (literally, at least, anyway). \o/ And I have managed to write for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
no_true_pair and should have a couple more to come, and have doubled some of them up for xoverbingo (which is also going well so far).
1.yuletide nominations are somehow open already! *panics* I really have no idea what to nominate this year, but I do know I will regret it very much if I don't, so I shall have to think about it.
2. The remainder of Ludwig s2 turned up on the iPlayer on Thursday, so I have watched that, because it is very addictive. It's as if someone decided to splice Line of Duty* with a quirky sitcom in which reclusive puzzle-setter David Mitchell reluctantly comes out of his shell to fight crime, and somehow the result worked. It's great fun. I don't know where they go from here though, so I'm very glad we have an upcoming Christmas special, because I think it was a 2 year wait between s1 & 2. (I was late to the party with s1, so it wasn't for me.)
3. Lots of other things. Must post more. <3
* Or what I vaguely assume LoD to be like, not having seen it.

thisbluespirit Sep. 14th, 2026 20:11)Another one, this one rather last minute & hasty (so forgive errors etc.) for today's prompt for no_true_pair. (I actually wrote this to pair with another one of the prompts because it amused me once I'd worked out they were both possible without time travel, but as that one was done for the Sept 19th prompt, this one now comes first. But this way round is more in chronological order, anyway, it's true.)

This and that:
Links posts are back on hiatus; I have had little time to browse much so don't find many things to share.communal_creators is about to eat most of my spare time as well.
Subscribed to many people who are subscribed to that comm in hopes of broadening my awareness of DW in general.
Still need to find time to sub to the Evil River so I can watch Ride or Die properly. The fic has been fun so far. And the gifs are gorgeous.
Managed to irritate BOTH shoulders so even though the temps were nice in the evenings this weekend, my yard is unmowed. And we are due another heat wave, le sigh.
Was thrilled to see how far my signal boost on tumblr to hold a Dolly Parton Day on 9-25 went. I took it off, will be getting my annual respiratory vaccinations the night before, but plan to do some reading and hopefully make a donation in her honor to PBS or a literacy fund local to me.
Son pointed out that Supernatural is old enough to drink, which means the oldest story I have on AO3 will be on the 21st as it was an episode tag to the second episode. He also stumbled across the Reddit post about me from years back in the wild and got to go "yeah, that's my mom".
How's everyone else?

Fanfiction and fanvid recs in the following fandoms: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Crown Duel, The Fall, Gilmore Girls, The Hour and Little Women
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
It’s a perfect day for a drive: crazykrystle (pre Jake/Amy)
Enjoyable early days fic.
Summary: Jake teaches Amy to drive stick (and nobody dies).
Crown Duel
Twelve Views of Meliaia and Vidanric: Ione (ensemble, Melaria/Vidanric, spoilers for Stranger to Command, too)
This is gorgeous, such a great use of the various POVs as the relationship develops and some see through Vidanric's control, but how everyone sees things says such a lot about them. Very much in keeping with the canon voice.
The Fall
The Yawning Grave: nu_breed_vids (Ray character study)
This is intense and moving.
Gilmore Girls
The Shower Curtains Have (Hippo) Eyes, Or: Why Interior Designing To Torment Your Spouse Is Never a Good Idea In The Long Run: dollsome (Lorelai/Luke, ER)
I enjoyed this so much. Great voices, great depiction of their relationship.
The Hour
Nor am I weak, but tired: thewritingnaturalist (post season 1, Bel & Freddie or Bel/Freddieish ficlet)
Really nice balance between the sharp descriptions of the exterior and the emotional interior here. And totally in character, too.
Little Women
Your Heart Understood Mine: akamarykate (Jo/Bhaer, epistolary, based on the 1994 film)
Really well done, just great glimpses of the developing relationship and Jo's growth, the unsent letters were powerful, and I loved this take on Jo's impetus for writing about her family.

I completed the Merlin Reading Challenge, where you had to read fics which fitted various categories from “Sci Fi AU” to “main character is BIPOC” to “has tag ‘_______ if you squint’”…
It took 715 fics to do, but I managed! And if you’re interested in Merlin fics and want to read certain categories of fic, they’re all here and linked to the fic in question:

(This happened with Sept 1 as well, but couldn't do them both on time, so I'm saving the other for amnesty. Happily, the 4th = more time, and one of these is a drabble anyway.)
