An Accidental Warlord and His Pack.
I've been enjoying that. She's still adding to it, which is nice.
Back before the show, Astolat wrote a bunch of Witcher fics based on the games and the books, I think. They're really good ('cause Astolat), but they include characters and plot points that either aren't being used in the Netflix show or haven't shown up yet.

Thrive to spite them
Calli, I saw those but decided to wait until I read more of the books to read them. I think they might rely heavier on the video games and I need to find a rundown of the storylines from the video game.
S2 of The Witcher has cast Vesemir, Eskel, Lambert, Coen and a few others I am not familiar with.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Enola Holmes trailer.
That looks DELIGHTFUL.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My first thought was "oh, no, young sister of Holmes?" but that trailer totally won me over. Helena Bonham Carter not least!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
That is an excellently cut trailer and looks like a ton of fun. Call me basic, but I am stoked to see Helena Bonham Carter back in period dress. (Gosh, I loved those Merchant Ivory films.) And Millie Bobby Brown sporting her native accent and looking like she is having a grand old time!
Not sure about Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes, mostly because he's built like a tank and I always think of Sherlock as wiry and kinda rabbity and vibrating with nervous energy. I might have gotten too attached to Jonny Lee Miller's take on him in Elementary. Also Sam Claflin is several years younger than Cavill and isn't Mycroft supposed to be like a decade older? Ah well!
I wonder if it was always meant to go directly to streaming, or if it had been planned for theatrical release initially.

Yeah, I wouldn't have picked him for Sherlock, but since Enola is the focus of the movie, I can live with him. I think.
Jonny Lee Miller will always and forever be my One True Sherlock Holmes.

I love Johnny Lee Miller's Sherlock. Although there are times when I'm struck by how much he resembles Doofenshmirtz from Phineas & Ferb

Doctor Doof! Haha haha. Good one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Excited for Enola Holmes. I like looking at Cavill so I'm fine with Sherlock being a beefcake for a change. Millie Bobby Brown is a g-d treasure.
