Raven, what are you doing?
They really brought in Philip Akin as a new character? And they really killed him off AGAIN? What even.

Guardian: fanfic: Raw Nerves, Old Scars
Title: Raw Nerves, Old Scars
Fandom: Guardian (TV)
Rating: T-rated
Length: 1176 words
Notes: A million thanks tomergatrude and teaotter for beta. <3 <3 <3
Tags: Chu Shuzhi/Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan & Da Qing, Shen Wei & Ye Zun. Post-Canon, Anger, Effects of Past Trauma, Complicated Relationships, Poly Relationships, Shen Wei misses his didi, Zhao Yunlan hates Ye Zun, Zhao Yunlan is triggered, Loyalties, Friendship, Clothes Sharing, Unreliable Narration.
Warning: This is set in a post-canon ‘verse where the canon events happened except that Da Qing took Zhao Yunlan’s place in the Lantern. Three difficult years later, Shen Wei and Da Qing came back. So Zhao Yunlan still has a lot of issues. This fic deals with intense feelings that aren't easily resolved.
Summary: Feel the anger and do it anyway.

Three shows
1. My mother gifted me the complete Penny Dreadful on DVD. Judging by trailers, I will definitely not be watching this while I'm eating, but it looks very promising. Please chime in with opinions if you've seen it!
2. More of The Raven and the writers clearly decided Nick was not going to fit the Duncan mode after all, as his appreciation of culture clearly died with Claudia and in the two following episodes he's a total dick. He's rude and belittling, heavy-handed, oafish, angry, uncouth and occasionally drunk. He breaks down Amanda's door and then doesn't even hold his gun properly on entrance (I laughed, and I don't think I was supposed to). His bangs keep getting in his eyes. He bitches and moans and is stubborn as a mule and won't listen to reason. He's been catapulted into a world whose rules no longer make sense and he is Not Happy about it. He's hysterical to watch. I want popcorn.
Then there's episode four, where the writing steps up and Nick's interactions with Amanda become less eyebrow-raising and more human. Plus: Amanda showing off her emotional perceptiveness. Minus: Amanda not winning her swordfight on screen. I wanted to know what New Age Abacus Man's last words were.
3. Just watched the 2015 Doctor Who Christmas special 'The Husbands of River Song.' I got choked up three times, and the final scene... I don't do happy-sad crying (or at least I never used to, but who knows now). The only episode which has ever wrung such a response from me was 'The Prom' on Buffy. 'Husbands' attains the same rank. Quite striking, as it goes from screwball comedy to an acknowledgement that happy endings do not last but are still profound experiences. River treasured the memory of their night on Darillium and the Doctor doesn't try to take that away from her, honoring her final moments and (even without memory of Clara) her refusal to have her memories removed. Everything ends, and he's able to deal with that in a healthy manner for... Possibly the first time in NuWho?
I needed this episode.

Star Trek Voyager: fic: substitute
Title: substitute
Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager
Rating: G
Length: 275 words
Content notes: missing scene, implied food poisoning from Neelix’s coffee substitute, early in canon and developing friendship
Author notes: Missing scene from The Cloud, takes place shortly after Neelix tries to give Kathryn the “even better than coffee substitute” and I borrowed two lines from the ep but everything else is mines. If you spot a wild goof give me a prod and I’ll try to fix it, the dyslexia is kicking my arse at the moment.
Summary: Kathryn looked at him, realising he was referring to the three days earlier in the month when he insisted he couldn’t leave his quarters and wouldn’t tell anyone the reason for it. “You tried it? What happened?”
