varied fannish excitement

1. I watched the first episode of the new season of Scott & Bailey and was reminded again of just how much I love these characters. Gill! Rachel! Janet! Excellent police procedurals where the main characters are all women! Still want a good crossover with Rivers of London, too

I do envy you for the Scott & Bailey dose. But I'm very pleased that it reminds you of why you love them. I can't wait to see more of them! :)

The chapter. *dies* Oh gosh. It scares me how much I love Peter & Nightingale (and Varvara & Molly!). --- It does kill me inside just a little to think that we'll see less of it in the later chapters. But. Oh this is good. <3
Thank you for sharing the link! :)

The digital radio in Nightingale's bathroom! Nightingale and Peter trying to drink Varvara under the table (I mean seriously, did they not go 'hey, hundred-year-old RUSSIAN witch, she's got to have a cast-iron liver by now'). Molly and her dangerous packed lunch! And another Ettersberg survivor... yeah, I'm having a hard time waiting.

*grins* My first reaction to the radio was "and how do you know where his radio is and when he's listening to it?" ('I was listening to the radio while I was shaving' does not strike me as the sort of thing you'd say in a conversation.) - My reaction to the sheer naivety of trying to drink Varvara under the table was quite the same. And I do love Molly. Rarely matters just what she gets up to. Although showing Peter her teeth's a special favourite of mine. :)

Yes, there is that. I mean, I can come up for some non-slashy explanations, but they'd still make good stories.

Molly is just wonderful and I love her.

I'm wondering whether it was Peter and his heavy-drinking-copper culture that gave him confidence, or Nightingale's regimental-and-rugby-club-dinner culture. Either way, big mistake.

Thanks everso for the Foxglove Summer excerpt! I hadn't seen it before.

You're welcome! The interview where he did the reading was on Youtube, and I made a transcript of it on DW, but it's good to have the corrected and extended version now.

OOH. Thanks for that. It's a darn shame I'm on my way to bed -- but here's to tomorrow, lol.

Enjoy! :-)
