Imagine Me and You (and you and you) or The Curious Case of the Bruised Behinds.
Sherlock Holmes. Holmes/Watson/Irene/Mary. 12,667 words. NC-17.
A huge thank you to skeletonwing for the wonderful beta job!

Inspired by this prompt at the kink meme. 'The first three made such a good team that they decided to go into business (and bed) together doing spy/detective sorts of things, and Mary decides she'd rather participate than be left on the sidelines and lose Watson. She could handle most of the administrative/legal stuff. Do want: Mary learning to be badass, femmeslash, a nice, happy, porny foursome. If you can wrangle it, I want to see Mary and Holmes have sex with each other for the first time (in the context of group sex) and learning to get along.'

( 12,000 words later, lol. )

To be honest, I don't really know what to say about Fall Out Boy's break(up). I'm not surprised, but it doesn't make it a whole lot easier. They were a big part of my life for a number of years and I honestly wish them all the best in whatever endeavours they choose to proceed with, whether it's other music or family or something new all together. Or hell, even actually just taking a break. They always seemed to put so much time and effort into not just the music and promotion and touring, but also connecting with fans and other people. Anyway, I'll still be :( for a while, but I'm sure I'll recover.

Onto happier topics, let's talk about budding model Ajak Deng who is fabulous. She is a 19-year-old Sudanese refugee who is currently living in Australia and has recently debuted internationally at New York Fashion Week. I think everyone should be as enamoured with her as I am. She's really beautiful and different, which is nice.



( More pics? More pics. )

been a while since i did this.

( skins 4x01 - thomas )

( house 6x11 - remorse )

on a completely different note, i've been reading 'd.gray-man' and like, hardcore loving it. it's super enjoyable. i was worried that it was going to be too similar to 'bleach' when i started, what with the cutting of the akumas/hollows to help them move on, etc, but it's really very different. it's awesome.

Anyone fancy beta'ing 8,000 words of holmes/watson/mary/irene fic/porn? There's a vague semblance of a plot in there too if that makes it more appealing, lol.

it's been a while since i made a mixtape at all, but here's my best of '09. i tried to limit it to songs that were released last year, and they're all songs that i really love, even if some are less meaningful to me than others. :) hope you all like them too.

also, i just got a new bed! it's amazing. i've had my old bed since i was 10, and i could literally feel the springs in the mattress when i shifted, haha. the new one is amazing.

omg, why was i not told how fabulous 'modern family' is? IT'S SO FABULOUS.

Cam/Mitchell is the pairing of my heeaarrt.

A Happy New Years to all. I hope your end of '09 was fabulous, and that your '10 is even better.

I am quite hungover, and posting this before heading into work (triple time! i love the important public holidays). Fingers crossed the centre I work in will be totally dead. I doubt it, but, hey, it would be awesome if it was.

A song to hail in the new year - Josh Pyke - The New Year's Song'. Not a newbie, but a goodie. Also, I should have the first mixtape of the new year finished in a day or so, the subject, rather ironically, is all the songs I loved from last year.

Anyway, I hope you are all having a wonderful new year, no matter what you're doing or where you are. :)

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you all had/will have an awesome day.

Mine's currently coming to a close, and it's the first Christmas I can remember where we haven't had epic family drama, so I count it as a win.

I've kind of had a bad few weeks, hence the lack of updates and lack of keeping up with my flist, so, sorry about that. Hopefully it's going to start looking up. :) Anyway, I realised today that I hadn't posted my episode reactions for the last little while, so here we go -

( 90210 )

( Glee - Sectionals )

( Gossip Girl - The Debarted )

Also, Community and The Big Bang Theory continue to be some of the funniest shit on television, and I honestly can't wait for them to come back. Especially Community, omg, that show's hilarious.

And! Just finally! I'm sending Christmas cards today. It's kind of ridiculously late, but oh well. I can only do what I can do. Expect them though. :)

Once again, I fail at posting this on time, but here you go. A few days late, but still good.



I'm a pretty epic fan of Eskimo Joe, and I really have been since their second album 'A Song is a City'. I was initially going to rec that one, but reconsidered. 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine' is hands down my favourite album of theirs, although I do love their new one, 'Inshalla' as well.

I don't have a lot to say about the album strangely. Kav Temperley has one of my favourite singing voices of all time, and, for me, his ability to string lyrics together rivals some of the real talents of our generation, not purely in terms of loveliness, but for their ability, paired with his voice, to express an unmatched vulnerability. This album in particular has some really dark themes on it, that feel somehow raw and yet very accessible. It's actually slightly similar to Sean's from Empires, if that's a good salespitch for you all. ;)

One of my favourites off the album -


DOWNLOAD HERE.

(Highlights? Most of it really. New York, Black Fingernails, Red Wine, London Bombs, Sarah, Suicide Girl)

Took a break from writing epic Brittany/Santana fic to bring you this interlude. These two broke my heart in the last episode.

Crown of Love.
Glee. Will/Terri. 362 words. Set before the events of 'Once Upon A Mattress'.

( She startles when she feels Will’s fingers, pressed against her own, feeling her feeling the baby, and it’s enough that her eyelids flutter shut, that she moves her hand just enough to entangle their fingers. He tightens his grip, and Terri moves his hand away from the padding. )

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS, I TOTALLY SHIP WILL/TERRI.

...shut up, i can't help it. i love doomed couples who kind of suck, but really, really love each other. i kind of want to write about them, omg.

I mean, on a more serious note (not that I'm not deadly serious in the above), I'm kind of over Emma's character, and for some reason, Will/Emma comes across as really superficial and boring to me. I despise what Emma's doing to Ken, and I actually don't like the emotional affair~ Will and Emma have going on. Terri and Will are so inherently wrong for each other, and yet love each other so much, I just, *hands*. I don't know. I love it.

More in-depth thoughts on everything else after dinner.

Episode Catch Up

( 90210 )
Anyway, if you crapped out during season one due to the epic fail, I really recommend finding your way back in, because it has improved by leaps and bounds. It’s dirtied the characters up a little, and the writing has dramatically un-worsened, as has the acting, and it’s really actually a better teen-drama than Gossip Girl at the moment, which is a shame for the latter, but a compliment to the former.

( Gossip Girl )

( House )

Expect a Glee recap sometime tomorrow too. Also a kind of epic Brittany/Santana, Puck/Santana, Puck/Quinn fic THAT TOTALLY SNUCK UP ON ME AND IS ALMOST FINISHED. (So if anyone wants to beta?? haha, omg, i suck)

In other news, I bought a car.

Also, I don't really talk about this on here, but I'm a chronic asthmatic (woohoo) and I've been incredibly sick the last week or so, and my peak flow's been super low, so I trapezed off to the doctor's yesterday who sent me to get a chest x-ray. And basically I have two pockets of old air stuck in my lungs. Which is awesome. I spent twenty minutes with a ventalin mask on, and have been told to have hot showers and moar ventalin every few hours to try and get them out. She (my doctor) has also upped my seretide dose and daily prednisone which is clearly awesome. Hopefully it'll make a difference though. :) It got me out of work today though.

Anyone up for a Christmas card? Comments are screened, so leave your name and address, and I'll send you one. :) Link me to your Christmas card posts too! I love this sort of exchange.

So, initially, the plan of this was to post an album every Sunday. So far, I've kind of sucked, and here we are, Tuesday, a fortnight after the last one. Ah, well.



This isn't exactly an album to listen to if you're looking for something deep and meaningful, but it is a hell of a lot of fun. I mean, their music videos generally feature people dressed up as hamburgers or wearing spandex, and their songs open with lines like "some motherfuckers think they're born to dance" and "My baby's off, yeah, he's shootin' tigers". I've actually long hoped that they'd do a tour with Cobra Starship, because I think it could potentially be epic, but I'm not sure how well-known The Grates are in the States.

Also awesome? They're from my home town in Brisbane, and it's always nice to see spazzy little Brissies finding success. Plus, hey, female lead singer! I've always had a soft spot for female vocalists rocking it out in bands, mostly because I find it pretty hot, but it's even hotter when they've got the talent and the energy to put any front man or woman to shame. Patience is insane live.

( And besides, she's also kind of hot )

This song is still my jam -


Anyway, DOWNLOAD HERE

(Highlights? 19 20 20, Rock Boys, Trampoline, Lies are Much More Fun, Science is Golden, Inside Outside, Sukkafish, and pretty much the rest of the album, haha.)

Lol, the challenge yesterday over at comment_fic was to write something in three sentences, and I am all over that like white on rice. Having said that, most of the good prompts were gone by the time I got back from work.

Anyway, have three sentences of Firefly/Star Trek Reboot crossover. Kirk/Kaylee.

( no, seriously )

I seriously cannot stop listening to this song:



It's so embarrassing, but it's getting me way pumped for summer. Embarrassing because this is the guy that won the first season of Australian Idol and released the song 'Angels Brought Me Here'. Omg, I hate that song. I remember being so stoked he won over Shannon Noll though. I couldn't handle his dancing.

Also, does anyone want a Christmas card from me? Just testing the waters. It was kind of fun last year.

Another Australian album this week. I was actually going to post their second one, but I changed my mind. This has long been one of my favourite albums. The lead singer even made an appearance in 'Grace' lol. I don't think anyone picked up on it. It was incredibly self-indulgent of me.

I'm not entirely sure what to say about this really. It was huge here when it was released in 2005, mostly from the lead single 'O Yeah', and I'm not going to lie, I bought it solely because I really liked that song. Since then though, it's become one of the very few albums that I don't feel the need to skip songs on. It's such an incredibly strong debut, varying stylistically from song-to-song but really held together with Justin's awesome voice.

I'm a huge 'Little Birdy' fan as well, and the fact that Justin and Katy from LB were dating at the time means we get a wonderful duet between the two on 'Oh Strain'. Seriously. It's wonderful.

This song is one of my favourites, and it actually isn't a good representation of the rest of the album, but it's a very good song for Justin's voice. It's also great because he's a massive dork in the video. So hey! Have a look.

(Highlights for me of the album: The Game, Oh Strain, Lock Up Your Daughters, Rough Diamonds and Anymore)

On a completely different note, I handed in my last assessment today! I'm so stoked on life. No more classes until Feb. :D AND I'm going to Sydney at the end of the week for a holiday. Seriously stoked on life.
