the dangers of tumblr

Oops, I appear to have developed a bit of a thing for Paul McGann. Didn't mean to do that. But damn is he gorgeous. I mean, seriously gorgeous. Also, he's the author's fancast for Nightingale in Rivers of London, and as you may have noticed I have a thing for Nightingale too, so the combination is kind of devastating

Okay, I think this ties in nicely with your recent post about snippets from unwritable fics: take the third photo and tell me how Nightingale (present-day Nightingale, not pre-war) got into that position on that floor with that expression.
I'm not _very_ serious, but if it would amuse you, go to town. And thank you for the eye candy.

Yeah, that's going to take some explaining! (The second would too, really.) And well, it's an excuse to look at that picture for a long time :-)

I'm not sure whether it's harder to explain the smile, the clothing choice, the lying on the floor, the fact that the floor is a map of London, specifically Soho, or that someone (Peter, we must presume; who else would have a camera in their pocket and be able to get close enough?) managed to take a picture of it.

So this was a very inspiring prompt, it turned out, and you have either two or six fics for it depending on how you want to count them :-)

Oh, wow! This popped up in my inbox just when I was getting up way too early and thinking gloomily too much work, sleepy, hot, Monday, uggh...in short, just what I needed to rescue the day's mood. I am setting the two (or six) fics aside to look forward to when I get home. Clearly unredeemed silliness leads to better things than I deserve. ;)
