This is why I watch B5 on DVDs. Because then? After B5, is B5.
Okay, but to be fair, I just watched that gut-twisting tear-making S3 two-parter, and I needed the Sentinel for good cheer.
Plus, of course, slash.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Totally gay.
I mean, couldn't get gayer without being Lex and Clark.
.....mmm....new tag smell. May I?

You may, sweet thing.
(To put the slash in perspective? Jim and Blair's 'friendship' was just saved by a really, really, gay hippy angel.)
(And now I must find more fic.)
Ah, hell. Sentinel fans? Fav fics?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
From a not-overwhelmingly-good crossover, but this made me snicker:
Gozer's gaze snapped toward the discomfited archeologist, and his eyes glowed with a strange mixture of curiosity and contempt. The dog-monster sniffed the air and growled, as its master asked in the distorted tones of the Goa'uld, "Are you a god?"
"Well, no. But I'm married to one," Daniel replied.

Up with the sun
I just read the new Herself story.
It's great, but, dammit...
Spoilers follow: I hate it when a writer takes two characters, makes them happy -- an earned happiness, not a fluffy-bunnies happiness -- and then decides to torture them. I would have liked the fic much better if it had ended with Buffy and William getting engaged: to have Spike all happy and human and suntanned, and then reduce him to a vamp eating rats, is ... it's just mean. If TPtB made Spike human in such a conditional way as they do in the story, I'd say the Gods were mean; for this story, Herself is God.
I mean, I understand that it's supposed to be literary.or something. But, dammit, the story is basically highly literate smutfit. It doesn't need to have a literary, nightmare-esque ending! A fluffy bunny one would be perfect! Really!
In short, the story would be perfect if it ended about 5 pages sooner.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But damn, the boys are cute together.
Blair just squicks the hell out of me. I don't know why, can't explain it. Part of it is probably related to his weird resemblance to the guy in Mask, but mostly it's just this strange, visceral reaction, and I can't read Sentinel fic at all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Just skipping to the end to tell Deena that I am sure that she will LOVE Herself's fic. I almost have no words for how much I love it. Since I rarely read books now, she is pretty much my favorite author, fanfic or not.
