Lions Make You Brave by
electrumqueen. Anna & Gabriel gen, PG: I'm Anna. I hear voices.
Really cool set-up, with fabulous stuff about Anna, love, heaven, and rediscovery. Also, I say gen but you can totally read it as Anna/Gabriel, which is cool.
Without Mythologies by

03. Being Human cast does another three inna bed pic of hotness for
Gay Times. Those saucy blighters. ;D
04. The existence of

This Guardian picspam of Michelle Obama. How is she so awesome?
