Don't have too much to say about this week's round-up, except that I've had a lot of migraines lately and have spent the recovery periods curled up in the dark reading fanfiction. And... you may or may not have noticed that I've been very into a certain fandom as of late.

Note: If you don’t know The Mechanisms (everything up until Star Trek) there is a lot of canon violence, Jack Harkness-esque immortality and generally messed up people. They’re criminals, Harold. Tread carefully and REALLY check the tags on AO3. That said, everything NSFW is consenting.

And now, the videos! All of these are Good Omens; most of them animatics, one of them not.

Hello, hello! In honour of being MIA for a couple of weeks (life, amirite?) I thought I would come back in time for a (late) fanfic rec post for Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day! There's some "expected" stuff again (Doctor Who) and some not-expected stuff (Basil of Baker Street, again??) and I'd also like to make a shout-out to my favourite fic writer... [personal profile] elisi!

And now, the usual recs!

Another busy week, another set of fanfic! I have some photos to share of my trip to the other side of the province earlier in the week, but for now, here's my reading recs for the week :D Sorry for the somewhat obscure fandoms - I've been listening to the Neverwhere audiobook, and Basil of Baker Street wound up on my dashboard last night...

A/N: There's some... creative formatting in this chapter. It might not work so well on Dreamwidth, but you can see it in action if you read in 'site style'.

A/N: In which the plan is finally revealed - not least of all to me, who had been dithering between two possible ideas and finally decided to go with the one that Roda would dislike the most ;) Hey, I have a reputation for annoying my characters to upkeep...

So I've been a little quiet the past week, because with the home renovations I sort of... burned out. But good news! The case is closed, and though there's still a little work to go, it's no longer with an inspector breathing down our necks. Hooray!

But since I've been burned out and my knee (which it turns out is probably a meniscus tear and is scheduled for an x-ray at the end of the month) is being very uncooperative in the department of getting things done, I've been reading a lot of fanfiction. So here I come with recs of what I've read in the past week.

A/N: Two things about this chapter. Actually, three. One, again, it is unbeta'd. All mistakes are my own. Two, it got so long I had to split it into two. Oops? And three... bear with me on the canon. I plotted this story out before seeing the season 12 finale, and so I'm going with what we knew about a certain group of people before that because it's all I can do. My personal explanation for this is 'yada yada propoganda', and perhaps I'll be able to bring it around to a canon explanation by a later point in Roda's story. For now, it is what it is.

“Comfort is as comfort does
And I've held up all your crowns
And I've wondered since what I’d do now
And that tower is as feared as that glass is clear
For those inside that do look down.”

A/N: Don't bind with bandages, kids. It's not good for your ribs. Imagine that what Roda is wearing is a cropped binder. Take it from non-binary fandom mum. You can thank [personal profile] elisi and this post for the... wording, of that part. This chapter also borders on nsfw, but it's intentionally non-explicit.

I’m going to watch ‘An Unearthly Child’ mostly because I want to see how it differs from the pilot, more than anything else. I don’t anticipate many thoughts. (EDIT: I had many thoughts.)

Classic Who Live Thoughts: The Unaired Pilot

schrodingers_time_lady: (Seal of Rassilon)
Well, my first thoughts were ‘is this going to be a silent movie with the old school Doctor Who theme playing throughout?’ Overlaid with fizzing excitement because this is my first time watching Classic Who from the start. Followed immediately by ‘that is officially the creepiest place that the TARDIS has ever been parked and we’re only one minute in’.

A/N: This chapter is the result of an absolute rabbit hole of Tardis Wikia research, thumbing through a physical copy of "How To Be a Time Lord" and cross-referencing my original stories. /o\ It's also where I have to start being clever, so hopefully it doesn't go wrong...

A/N: This, and up to chapter 8 inclusive, is unbeta'd. Partially because I got overexcited, and partially because I wanted some things (namely one of the chapters in particular) to be a surprise to my delightful beta. So all errors are mine, though I did go over them all to try and make sure there were none! Also, I now know that this story will be 22 chapters long; and was also sneaky and went back to make some slight edits (got two Chapters mixed up) and add some fancy quotes.

I'm back again with more icons! I wanted to try a few new things with colouring, challenge myself to do 10 icons with one image cropped differently, try the black and white, add emojis etc... since I was watching Hamilton on Disney+ with some friends while still resting my ankle, now seemed like a good time to see if I still had 'it'.

All of these icons are free to use, just please credit me when you use 'em and don't hotlink please.
