This journal is semi-friends only. All fic, episode reaction posts, and random news and reviews are always public.
So feel free to friend for the fic, etc.--no need to ask permission. I won't automatically friend back, unless we've had some interaction before, in comments or elsewhere; I sometimes post about rl, family and friends under f-lock, and I like to know who that stuff is going out to. But if you want to introduce yourself or have friended and want to de-lurk, or we've had some interaction that I've forgotten about, please feel free to leave a comment on this post--I'd love to get to know you!
Lurking is always fine, though--I'm often too busy or scattered to comment on things myself, so I completely understand. Defriending is always fine too, if you need to move on.
Welcome!

So, here's what happened: I posted a few Warrior prompts over at the Running Hot II post. Then I got curious, and decided to rewatch the movie. And then, I found myself liking it even more than I had the first time, and writing fic. In answer to one of my own prompts. It happens, right?
Title: On the Plains of Troy
Fandom: Warrior (2011)
Genre: gen, h/c, future!fic
Rating: PG-13 (for language)
Warnings: something like suicidal ideation
Disclaimer: These characters belong to their creators and I am making no profit from this work.
a/n: Set in my favorite fanonical version of life after the movie, in which Tommy lives near Brendan and Tess and trains with Frank.
a/n: written for my own prompt (I know, I know) at Running Hot II
a/n: many thanks to![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1)
frackin_sweet for the extremely helpful beta.
Summary:
Three, four times blessed, my friends-in-arms
Who died on the plains of Troy those years ago,
Serving the sons of Atreus to the end. Would to god
I’d died there too[.]

I have been remiss about reminders, but RUNNING HOT II is percolating along. deepbluemermaid has been posting some great H50 WIPs, which you can access via THE MASTER LIST and there are prompts galore in a plethora of fandoms at the prompting post, if you're looking for ideas about what to write this afternoon!
In the meantime, have some previews and sneak peaks.
Tom Hardy-at-Cannes goodness has been flooding tumblr this weekend click the tag and see how you feel about the beard.
( and the clip from Lawless looks awesome )
( And here is a clip of Ben Whishaw and Patrick Stewart in the upcoming BBC Richard II )
And if for some reason you haven't seen the Magic Mike international trailer, I think you owe yourself the pleasure (linking b/c I can't find one to embad.
In other news, I have seen the season finale of Grimm and 1x12 of the sadly cancelled Awake but I haven't seen the H50 finale or House 8x21 yet, but I'm thoroughly spoiled for all, so feel free to share your thoughts. And I'm off to Hunger Games movie now, so that too!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone, whether you do your mothering a traditional setting, or give your care, comfort and unconditional love in other ways!
We didn't do much of anything this weekend, except that we managed to see Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Pirates! Band of Misfits and still have time for the first outdoor pool swim of the year.
I was negligent about re-advertising it this weekend ( see:family, family, family), but Running Hot II is bubbling along nicely. I put fics on the master list for J2, The Unusuals, Grimm and Pirates!Band of Misfits (the last one is mine--couldn't resist after seeing the movie). I'm not closing it up any time soon, so please come play!
Hope you all had a good spring weekend!

You know what I missed after not watching House for several years? Hugh Laurie's face, that's what.
It's not just that he does such glorious reaction shots, it's that his reactions make you believe he's really watching and listening--and seeing and hearing more than the average bear. And when House is reacting to Wilson? Well, it doesn't get any better than that. I mean, all Holmeses love their Watsons, but the way House loves Wilson is something else.
Ahem. Feel free to discuss 8x19 and 8x20, just know that I know nothing about what happened before these episodes.
Also: Running Hot II is simmering along nicely. Click the link for prompts for things like:
Inception
Grimm
Whitechapel
Farscape
Downton Abbey
Warrior (2011)
Pirates! Band of Misfits
Phineas and Ferb
Merlin
And many more!
The master list of this year's fills is here and the AO3 collection for both years is here

In which I catch up with the rest of the world
By seeing Avengers and reading The Hunger Games (okay, listening to it, on audiobook).
( y'all already knew that I wasn't a comic book gal, right? )
( and there's a reason I don't read much YA fiction )
I know, I know, I'm a grump.
In more important news, there is a masterlist now for Running Hot II, with fics from H50, White Collar, Sherlock and SPN. There are many more fabulous prompts from many fandoms including Avangers awaiting fills at the post. We also have AO3 collections for this year and last year. If you wrote something last year and posted it to the Archive you can edit it to include it in last year’s collection (and please do!!)
ETA: and I have cast my vote against the evil amendment--cross your fingers, folks!

( Read more... )
Running Hot II is off to a prompt-tacular start (click banner to go the lj site).
There are prompts up for H50, SPN, Sherlock, White Collar, Grimm, MI4, The Unusuals, ReGenesis, The Avengers, Burn Notice, Merlin, Firefly, and probably some other excellent fandoms I'm forgetting. Come by and play--leave a prompt, fill one, or just enjoy!
In other h/c news: I know I've been sporadic in my journal reading for the past few
And a question: if I were to take myself to a movie tomorrow, which of these is the most likely to help me forget my troubles/give me have a good cry: The Avengers; The Hunger Games; 21 Jump Street; other.
See you at the meme!
