[themonkeytwin]

So. In the interests of actually finishing a project for once, I made a jolly good go at liveblogging (another word which I do not think means what I think it means) the last episode of North & South.

Uh.

Except that, even though I did not once use the word “swoon”, the observant among you will read between the lines and notice that all attempt at

You didn't mention the part where he says she's *coming home* with him. EEEEEEEE. I love the way he says that, and everything it means. Also, GUH. I like that part even more than the kissing, tbh. [yes, something is broken in me.]

Not at all! I love that part too. I wanted to talk about EVERYTHING more, I just couldn't. Because, as you say, GUH. Well, you can see the state I was in. The WHOLE THING is exquisite. Although I do give the kissing extra credit for being one (well, two) of the very few screen kisses that do not either leave me completely cold OR make me actively squirm with discomfort when I watch it.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for encouraging me to get it finished, sometimes you just need that extra little push.

CAPSLOCK SHOCK - as you can see, though, I did not manage to avoid it. I like to pretend to be a self-controlled, dignified fangirl, but I guess we all know there's really no such thing. :)

ugh this stupid ridiculous mini series. my poor, poor heart. ugh ugh ugh. why isn't there any decent fic?!!!

[themonkeytwin]

Oh, I know, right?!? ughghgh. Maybe it's just too perfect and no one desperately needs to fix anything? Not even to make people have sex. I mean, that IS the reason a lot of fic gets written.
