Not the Ibsen play
On Monday I posted two comment fics: All the Colours The Great British Sewing Bee RPF/Harry Potter. U. Joe Lycett, Patrick Grant, Esme Young, Luna Lovegood. Written for the prompt ‘Any, any, "Was it really necessary to use every color?"’. 277 words.
Aftermath of a Spoiler MCU. PG. Steve/Darcy. Written for the prompt ‘MCU, any/any, giving away the plot of a new movie’. Mild spoilers for ‘The Aftermath (2019)’. 296 words.
A few things: yes, I watched The Great British Sewing Bee. The first draft contained the word ‘sewers’, which sounds fine if you’re hearing it on the show, but looks so wrong written out. That only featured Luna on the show - because my brain likes putting Luna in Muggle situations - but it then occurred to me that the other sewers (see!) could be HP characters.
And I may have shared Darcy’s rationale for seeing The Aftermath (which is fine, but not great). I suppose this is me working through Endgame spoiler anxiety, and I don’t believe I’ve posted any Steve/Darcy before. Obviously: fluff.
The difference in the amount of hits both fics have got on AO3 is vast.
I am working on other fic, and some of it would be close to getting posted if I didn’t keep getting distracted.
Ghosts 1.1 Who Do You Think You Are?
From the Horrible Histories team, who I mainly know from the hilarious film Will. Granted, this was about set-up, but there were only a few chuckles, though there were some nice surprises (that there was a whole other set of ghosts in the basement) and developments - that Alison could see them by the end of the episode having technically died. And I’ll admit that Fanny ‘reliving’ her death each night grew funnier.
The fact that the ghosts are all sorts, from all kinds of classes and periods, but generally a bit rubbish at it, is promising. Isn’t Mathew Baynton just basically reprising his Will Shakespeare, though? And it’s only the morning after that I realise his Thomas was literally a peeping Tom. Hmm, probably worth sticking with, and it’s only a half hour.
I caught up with that, because I'd been watching The Widow, about which I hope to post later.
