Orphan Black:

What's mine is yours : sharp, intense and marvellous vid about Sarah, Felix, Siobhan and Kira, with bonus Helena.

And a look at Agent Carter which makes me hunt for Peggy and Howard Stark friendship tales (hooray for m & f comradery of people who've been through hell together but still won't end up as a couple), only Darth RL is ( Read more... )
