Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Batman is a case unto himself and should always be called out.

srsly. Question 1: Are you Batman?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The Batman was my favorite part, too.

Totally awesome STXI fic that I came across in the Star Trek Big Bang lj community: Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit.

Gen, pg-13. Author's summary: It really does take a village to raise a Jim.

Go, read, give the author lots of love.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm not unbiased, as the author is a friend of mine, but I wanted to rec a lovely Jo-centric fic. It's set sometime in S3, but it was very much informed by S5.

A question for those of you who are more experienced in reading fanfic than I am: when an author replies to my review of her fic and refers to me as "bb" what does that mean? I've seen it other places, and I gather from the context that it's friendly, but does it actually stand for something?

I think it's meant to be pronounced bébé, as that's the French for baby, and that's how the letters "bb" would be pronounced in French.

I could be wrong, though.
