swim through the fires to stay in this world

Day 16: Most creatively homicidal ship.

Adelle deWitt/Lawrence Dominic

Day 17: The ship that looked like a fairytale but isn't or never was.

Regina/Emma

The queen who walled off her heart; the damaged savior whose power is love.

Never to be allowed to save each other.

Day 18: The ship with the most transference issues.

Simon/Alisha.

I feel that what saves this ship, what makes it fantastic, is that the writers were 100% aware of all the ways in which the characters where in love with slightly different people than the one in front of them; and the ways in which they were drawn and in relationships with the people who were in front of them. Does that make sense?

Also, honorable mention: Steve Rogers/Sharon Carter

Yeah, so, remember how Sharon is dating the guy she grew up watching old videos of and who her aunt dated? And how Sharon and Peggy are drawn to look damn near identical in the comics?

Some of you may recall that every January, I like to run through the fics that I've posted for the previous calender year. Yeah... that didn't happen, January 2012. In fact, I was so late that when I had several free hours during a weekend in May, I was like, 'Oh, no, don't post your fanfic masterlist now. Wait until June, that way you can be exactly six months late.' And then I did not get around to posting my fanfic masterlist in June. Seven months late just doesn't have the same ring to it, you know?

In other news, since I've been reading the majority of my fic on AO3 these days, I've reposted some of my more recent works (and will be posting some of my favs from 2011) at my AO3 page. I'm redbrunja over there as well. (And I'm still new to that archive, so if I'm inadvertently doing something against fannish etiquette or that makes my fics less likely to be read, let me know.)

First off, I'm going to talk about the previews for the next week: ( spoilers for the Christmas episode )

Okay, spoilery talk done:

( 2x06 )

Misfits, I think I fucking love you. (To get the full impact of this statement, imagine it said in Kelly's accent.)

( "This Is What Happens When Guys Spend All Their Time Playing Computer Games & Wanking Over Porn On The Internet." )

So I just finished the first season/serious of Misfits. At the moment, I don't have any thoughts that are burning to get out into the ether but if you, like me, have watched this show seduce people on your flist and are on the fence about giving it a try, here are some things you might want to know before making a choice (pretty unspoilery):

1.) Tone. It's dark but not bleak. This show isn't going to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside but it's also not going to kill your soul.

2.) This may say more about me than I should admit but I did not find Simon as creepy as I expected too.

3.) FANTASTIC MUSIC. Seriously, I would have watched this show a lot sooner if I'd know how great the music choices are.

4.) This show does not have a hot cast (excluding two main cast members and two reoccurring secondary characters). However, as you get to know the characters and get attached, their attractiveness grows.

5.) Brace yourself for the accents.
