While everyone in the US seems to be starting jobs this week (gainful employment! well done, folken!), I am wondering how long I can delude myself into forgetting that my major exams are less than a week away. OH, STUVAC. Such a deceptive dichotomy of laziness and panic.

I'm off to make myself a meal that by this point I do not think I can reasonably call breakfast, and then attempt to organise a semester's worth of assignments and lecture notes and lab handouts into a form that I can start to study from.

In the meantime, have a meme that (thankfully) has no chance of exploding into long crazy drabbles:

Name a pairing that I am familiar with, in a fandom I am familiar with, and I will write one line for that pairing and fandom.

And speaking of one-sentence fics, rawles has gone on a sublime spree of capslock with one-sentence fics/personal canon/hilarious reasons why characters suck. Contains spoilers for Heroes, BSG, PotC:AWE, The Office and Avatar, and is a wonderful mess of glee shot through with snarky rage.

*zen* My first major exam is tomorrow and my sleeping patterns are fucked up.

SHIVS. SNOW PATROL. AIS ARENA. SEP 10. Y/N?

And Tori Amos is playing at the Canberra Theatre on Sep 16, too. HURRAH MUSIC. I expect both tickets will be disgutingly expensive, but I am determined to go because I didn't get to see Missy Higgins.

Firefly: Mal/Inara

Since it should be fresh in your mind: Joe/Billy. (What? YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING.)

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Billy finds himself singing under his breath during Joe's shit-poor excuse for a funeral, some weird hybrid of a HCL song and a new set of riffs that's been running through his head, and he feels kinda bad about it until he decides that it's exactly what the asshole would have wanted.

Kara finds something very elegant in the way that Lee loses things, be they triad games, pyramid matches or races through a simulator; it makes her want to push him further, see how outrageously she can cheat, see what kind of things he really cares about losing.

1. Darren visits the Theatre Sans Argent fully girded against the dull plebeian dust of the place, but after three days of exposure to the joyful enthusiasm of the actors, the cobbled-together sets that remind him of college, and Geoffrey's sparkling eyes, he finds his contempt sorely weakened.

2. Martha has never been satisfied with simply knowing about the existence of the Doctor's second heart: she longs to inject him with dyes, slow his perpetual motion for long enough to put him under a scanner, explore the functional anatomy of his commanding energy and put names to the muscles that create his smile.

NOW WITH 100% FEWER RANDOM TENSE CHANGES

The entirety of Larklight is a mess of planning and flowers and seating arrangements for far too many months, and Jack grows very grateful for his future brother-in-law's knack of steering them both away through the house's nooks and crannies bare minutes before a rash of wedding talk breaks out.

~

Later, Myrtle will be able to reel off expertly the number of things that went wrong during the wedding - beginning with the way Ssilissa's bridesmaid dress sustained several rips from the enthusiastic lashing of her tail, and ending with the bizarre scientific tangent that her father wandered down during his toast at the reception - but Jack won't be able to remember anything beyond the way she looked when she appeared at the other end of the aisle.

~

Jack has only managed to undo a third of the baffling amount of hooks and ribbons that comprise his new wife's wedding dress when Art's voice bawls something about spiders! and come quick!, accompanied by some frantic thumping on the door of the room, and Jack wonders exactly what he did to the universe to deserve this.

Inara quickly learns to associate each type of incense stick with the face Mal makes when he enters her shuttle, and then learns to exploit that knowledge: sandalwood when asking him a favour, musk if she wants her privacy, and jasmine for the unsteadiness of his breath and the millisecond of bare desire that enters his eyes.

Re: (1) - AT THE SAME TIME? You freak.

~

(1) He had always thought that there wasn't a lot to beat it travels in time, but this tanned boy (something familiar about him - something to do with loss) stands with his hands caressing the wheel (and that's familiar too) and talks about travelling between life and death, and the Doctor aches with envy.

(2) Every time Elizabeth drew a sword or harshened her voice, she felt herself grow futher away from the girl that Will Turner fell in love with; she wonders sometimes if she wasn't testing the bounds of his acceptance, giving him excuses to leave, because she was just a little scared by the magnitude of what she saw when he looked at her.

(3) Martha admits to having a shameless fondness for reality television, and when she catches the expression of tight guilt on his face he lets her assume that it has something to do with Rose because it's easier than telling her about someone else who threw themselves away for his sake.

Memeness! Moriel/Lucifer. :D

*fixes spelling*

[fahye.livejournal.com]

WHAT THE HELL.

~

Barbossa is one of the best weapons in Elizabeth's arsenal, and she soon perfects the exact mixture of flirtation and bribery required for him to sarcastically shout down any of the Brethren who question her authority.

HEY. YOU ARE THE FREAK WHO MENTIONED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.


<3333333333 I LOVE THESE. ALL THREE. OH FAHYE.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

That icon never fails to render me exceedingly amused.

~

Lucifer recognises one of his own failings in the forcible urge he has to fight Moriel's battles for him - watching him argue vividly with Michael, for at this stage the dissent is no more than vocal - and another in the fact that it is, inevitably, his battle that is being fought.

AS A PARALLEL, NOT A CROSSOVER. FREAKOID.

I have just rediscovered that excellent Jack fanvid in my collection, which you should also rewatch now that you've seen the beginning of Torchwood. This one. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=nVxeck-dE8Y)

[genarti]

Oh, man, I love ALL of these.

Jack Harkness and the Doctor, - or / or ambiguity as you like.

Carlotta/Piangi.

JACK AND MARTHA

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

I HEART THAT VID SO. :)

[pirateygoodness.livejournal.com]

Assuming you know Grey's well enough to write it? Izzie/Meredith.

Otherwise, Kara/Anders.

[pathstotread.livejournal.com]

Oh, LOVELY. Thank you!
