Mit mir keine Nacht dir zu lang

[fan_elune]

So I finally saw "No Night Is Too Long," wherein Lee Williams and Marc Warren have hot naked happy sweaty man sex. It's not anything earth shattering, but it's nice enough to watch if you like the actors. I think I'd have been rather bored were it not for my deep Marc Warren love. I've also recently watched him in the latest installment of Messiah; I hadn't seen any previous episodes, but now this I truly enjoyed.

But mostly! Ashes To Ashes, dudes. I can see how people wouldn't like Alex Drake, but I'm sorry, I do. Yes, she's very hysterical, but she thinks she's hallucinating! I can't dislike Keeley Hawes anyway, apparently. I know I should be heavily disliking her and her dynamics with Gene, but apparently I can't. I don't, anyway. I'm sold on them. When he came and just filled her glass at the counter and left her to go back to his table? I dug that. A lot. I also find it very interesting to see the different kind of sexism in the 80s, from the 70s. And Chris has balls! Dude. The overly cheesy hero shots around Gene I'm not sure how I feel about just yet. We'll see as the show goes on. I can't wait! Plus, Stephen Campbell Moore.

Supernatural I've really enjoyed for the past two episodes, and Lost is not actually boring me the way it used to. The L-Word is actually fun, too!

Now, just because I have a presentation on Aristotle's Poetics for Thursday, help me procrastinate creatively! Meme snagged from the_grynne!

Five Things ______ Doesn't Know About _______

Name two characters, preferably from the same fandom (or pick an easy crossover to write), and I will write a list or a ficlet or an advert.

I'm loving the new-and-improved Chris :) He pleases me a LOT *g*. I really dislike Alex, but perhaps I'm supposed to, and perhaps I'm bitter because WE ALL KNOW Gene loves me.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I think Gene himself would tell you he's very capable of loving several women. ;) And that he wouldn't mind loving either of you. But yes, Chris rocks! He's not nervous, he's cautious. Hee! As for Alex, well, she's so very feminine, really, and I think it's easy to dislike a feminine protagonist in a cop show. I don't know. I just can't do it myself.

I have ATA on my computer, but I just can't bring myself to watch it. I loved Life On Mars so much, I don't want this to ruin it, you know?

For the meme: Jack doesn't know about Ianto

[vae]

I still haven't seen Life on Mars... *is much behind*

And.

Five Things Lucifer doesn't know about Charlie Jackpot.

(because I'm predictable that way)

[grimma.livejournal.com]

No Life on Mars yet? That's like a crime :D

[vae]

My husband loathes it *shrugs* makes it very hard to watch. I've got my hands on the first ep of series one, now, though, so that's my evening planned.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Bry Bry Bry. How can he loathe it? It is so good. I'll get around to the five things. MhmmmmCharlie.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

1. When he was nine, Charlie fell in love with his next door neighbour. She used to laugh when other boys pushed him to the ground, and he was too busy staring at her smile to care about the stinging scrapes on his knees.

2. When he was twelve, Charlie understood why the terror of the neighbourhood kids, towering tall above him at fifteen years old, liked to pick on him most of all. It happened in a dark alley, and the next day Charlie got a kick in the ribs for his trouble.

3. Charlie's only ever been loved by three people in his life. One of them was his mother. The second one was his sister.

4. Charlie would do anything for Lucifer. It's a knowledge Lucifer makes a conscious effort not to acquire.

5. Charlie Jackpot is still alive, and amnesic, and in France. The villagers that took him in said he needed a name, and called him Lucien Grelot.

Who had we settled on for Charlie? Callum, right? I was thinking Lee Williams might be a good contender, if he can act the part.

[vae]

Oh GOD FAN'.

#5 OWNS me.

So much.

*wordless*

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a fic I've been meaning to write for absolute ages and still haven't, didn't I tell you about it? That's the first thing I knew I'd write that Lucifer didn't know. *CLINGS TO CHARLIE* Of course he's still alive. Pfft. Stupid Mark with his stupid ideas.

[lvs2read.livejournal.com]

I'm with Vae! Amnesiatic!Charlie beats a dead one any day! *g*

Great job, hon!

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon! :D

[lounalune.livejournal.com]

ISn't it supposed to bit "Mit mir ist keine Nacht dir zu lang"?

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

It might be! I googled it to get the German. I BLAME GOOGLE.

[grimma.livejournal.com]

Ashes to Ashes: same! Of course I miss John Simm a lot but I liked how they explained his absence; that helped watching the episode with an open eye.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

My Thème teacher pointed out to me that he was bound to be back anyway, as no body was found. That'd kick ass, if it's well explained.

Five things Apollo doesn't know about Midnighter.

I'm cliche.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

1. The first time Apollo smiled at the Midnighter, both his heart and its backup skipped a beat.

2. It took Midnighter six years, three months, ten days, three hours and twelve minutes after they first kissed to manage to switch off his computer's response when Apollo touched him.

3. When Midnighter first laid eyes on Jenny Quantum, he knew of all the ways to kill her within .03 second. His computer also warned him that it was .018 second too long, if the baby had wanted him dead.

4. During the three years Midnighter was away, there is not one man he slept with that didn't have long blond hair. None of them ever compared.

5. Midnighter never expected Apollo to forgive him.

[kagechikara.livejournal.com]

Fan'...that made me tear up.

Seriously.

...Since I'm at work I hope my boss doesn't look over and notice that but still GOEGKOTRHKLRKR.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

! I didn't mean to! Certainly not at work. LOOK YOU CAN'T ASK ME TO WRITE ANGST-FREE MID AND APOLLO MIDNIGHTER IS MADE OF ANGST. Under all that leather.

[kagechikara.livejournal.com]

OH GOD Apollo slowly, lovingly undresses him...and undresses him...and undresses him...and then he's finally just hit by a giant wave of angst and OMG there's nothing there by a giant pile of leather.

It will be a very shocking thriller.

Also Mid/Apollo FTW. FTW, I tell you.

even if I do like bat/mid

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

It will set a new genre. Gay porn slash thriller. OMG.

bat/mid is that perfect doomed pairing that will never happen and clearly warrants for us to go emo and drop punctuation ;)

My icon is wondering why I don't have Life on Mars icons.

Thanks for reminding me to watch AtA. I had completely forgotten it was out.

her dynamics with Gene
I expected to hate their UST dynamic, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I also liked how they explained Sam's absence. And woohoo for cautious/ballsy Chris!

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I am wondering the same thing about myself. Well, at least I have a John Simm icon.

Exactly! About the UST. I should hate it. I really don't.

[wields-a-pen.livejournal.com]

Oohhh I forgot about Ashes to Ashes! Is it worth downloading?? I adore Keeley Hawes and Philip Glenister, though I'm very bad, because I have the entire second series of Life on Mars on Tivo and have yet to finish it!

Wait, did you just say Stephen Campbell Moore is in it too?

I'm SOLD! :D

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

WATCH THE END OF LIFE OF MARS. Then only will it be worth watching Ashes to Ashes. Seriously.

[wields-a-pen.livejournal.com]

OK, you sold me, I'll start watching it tonight!! :D

BTW, completely randomly... soooo I'm moving to London in three weeks. I'll be there for a year. I'm sure you know gobs of people in England already, but I would love to meet up sometime while I'm over there! I'm sure there are plenty of fan conventions that I'm going to be dying to go to! ;D

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Yay! And then, eventually, you shall get Stephen Campbell Moore.

I'm going to Serenity Complete if you're planning on attending, we'll definitely run across each other there. JAMIE BAMBER. ALAN TUDYK. SUMMER GLAU. MARK SHEPPARD. Etc. Those are the ones I'm most excited about. Besides, Starfury Firefly cons = best cons ever.
