* stealstheashes's Vicky-T/Leighton drabble. Very cute!
* foxxcub's baby!Panic fic. Adorable boys!
* eleanor_lavish's Adam/Kris (divorce fic). A must read! I never would have thought that I'd be an AI Adam Lambert fan but I totally lay the blame solely on disarm_d's Adam/Brendon fics, Kiss and Tell and More and Stele3's musings and fics about Adam Lambert.

I couldn't agree with you more, Gabe! He has to change the word "cock" to "penis" for their new album release. Which, wtf? Since when was cock a bad word? Idk, I like him saying "cock". Lol, who doesn't right?
Listening to Panic's both albums now. I haven't been able to play it since the news broke and even before that, I wasn't listening to them for a while. I'm a bit distraught that Panic at the Disco would never be the same again. *pats icon* The only thing good about Ryan's interview about the split is that Ryan and Spencer were the ones to decide the split. Although Ryan should totally sack up and call Pete like pronto! Argh. Sorry, non-bandom peeps!
RE: Torchwood
Dear RTD,
I HATE YOU WITH THE PASSION OF A THOUSAND SUNS, OK! THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR YOU TO KILL IANTO OR JACK'S GRANDSON! NONE AT ALL. IANTO'S DEATH WAS STUPID, OK. STUPID AND POINTLESS. IF YOU HAD TO KILL HIM, I REALLY WOULD HAVE PREFERRED HIM FIGHTING TO THE DEATH, LITERALLY. When you kill the hot indian doctor (whose name escapes me now), I was a bit pissed. I wanted him to join Torchwood. For diversity, you know? And also because he was hot. But diversity more. And as a POC, I totally want a POC character on Torchwood. BUT I FORGAVE YOU because he was in cahoots with the evil team. BUT WHEN IANTO LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO DIE IN S4, I PAUSED THE VIDEO, WENT ONLINE AND BEGGED MY BESTFRIEND TO SAY IT ISN'T SO! OR THAT IF HE DID DIE, IT WAS GOING TO BE FIXED. With magical powers, Jack giving him one of his numerous lives, the world spinning back in time, a unicorn shedding a tear, ANYTHING would be acceptable. But nooooo, it didn't happened. And I was surprisingly alright with it. I kept telling myself, "RTD (which is you, you bastard!) has a story to tell, it's all going to work out fine. I trust him!"
And guess what? Ep 5 was a CLUSTERFUCK. Couldn't have Jack gone and get another child? Did he really needed to use his grandson? Wasn't there a better way to make Jack inhuman and ultimately run away to galaxies far away? Alice wasn't already in his life much and had no intention of wanting more. Couldn't you JUST write that he needed to drown his sorrows about Ianto's death with only the beer distilled from cat's urine in the far off planet called RTD's A DICK?
RTD, YOU ALREADY BROKE MY HEART WITH THE FUCKED UP ENDING OF S2 BY KILLING OFF TOSH AND OWEN. BUT I FORGAVE YOU SOMEWHAT GRUDGINGLY AND GAVE YOU THE CHANCE TO REDEEM YOURSELF. INSTEAD I WEEPED UNCONTROLLABLY AT IANTO'S DEATH AND THE WHOLE OF EP 5. NOW I CAN'T THINK OF CHILDREN OF EARTH WITHOUT EITHER KILLING MYSELF OR YOU. PREFERABLY YOU.
FUCK YOU, RTD. SERIOUSLY, FUCK YOU.
NO FUCKING LOVE WHATSOEVER,
Adrienne
P.S Granted, the plot was intriguing and a difficult topic to handle. You handled Frobisher's character, decisions and ultimately his death very well. But the points I outlined above far outweigh what little good Frobisher's storyline did you. But still. NO LOVE.
I really really wished I hadn't watched the episodes. :(
