Finished S2 of Merlin. Tragic lack of Morgana, but otherwise pretty darn nifty. There IS going to be a S3, yes? Please say yes? Because, really, apart from the glorious OT5ness, I want Arthur to find out about Merlin's magic so badly, I don't even have the words. I was kinda hoping it would happen in the S2 finale, but alas. COME ON SHOW, STOP ( Read more... )

Wow, getting up at 6:30am for work and not getting home until midnight or later after rehearsal does not equal much sleep, shockingly enough. And this will be my schedule every weekday for the next month. I'm...really tired. Stage managing: not the least stressful job ever, to put it mildly.

Torchwood/Merlin crossover that works like you wouldn't believe, and manages to stay absolutely in character for all parties involved, and, just, YES: Once and Future, by 10leaguesbeyond. Her summary: Four times Merlin Emrys met Jack Harkness (and one time he met Jack Harkness). I'm not sure how ( Read more... )

Up to Merlin 1x08 (the one with the Druid kid). ( very mild spoiler )

1. I am making the most amazing Strawberry Cupcakes for my housemate's birthday, you have no idea. I love trying new recipes for baked goods, and I'm adding my own cream cheese icing (from scratch, natch), which I added some of the extra strawberry juice to, and OMG, guys. NOM ( Read more... )
