Darth Real Life continues to keep me busy, but I've been meaning to rec a few more stories I keep open, from two recent exchanges (only one of which I managed to participate in).

Rare Male Slash

Star Wars

Though the wind pried with its stiff fingers charming hurt/comfort vignette, in which Lando and Luke, post ESB, talk about what happened on Bespin ( Read more... )

Dear Creator,

thank you so much for writing this story for me. We clearly share at least some interests, and I'm thrilled to find out what you'll come up with.

Some results from me dashing to my pc between family times. I'm still beaming about my Yuletide gifts, by the way.

Greek Mythology:

A Thing of Beauty, Golden: there are several intriguing takes on the marriage of Aphrodite and Haephasteus in this year's archive, and I enjoyed reading them all, but this is one is hands down my favourite.

Ian McShane has been cast as Mr. Wednesday in Bryan Fuller's tv version of American Gods. This is a gift from the casting heavens, and I'm now at the "I WANT IT NOW WHY ISN'T IT 2017 ALREADY" stage about this show ( Read more... )

Well, "worst fathers" would be like shooting fish in a barrell, given how especially American tv loves its daddy issues. So here are some great dads who come to mind:

Multifandom: In a new interview, Lesley Sharpe (wonderful character actress; if you're a DW fan, you've last seen her in Midnight as Sky Silvestri in a role RTD wrote for her - like Christopher Ecclestone and David Tennant, she had played in previous works of his) reveals she's in a new BBC drama with Christopher Ecclestone and is a Eleven fan, ( Read more... )
