The crossover dream of my heart

Not that I can remember anything much. But. But, Krynoids! Attacking the hospital Martha Jones was working in and Jo McDonagh was recovering from yet another concussion in! And for some reason, the Leverage crew was there (maybe scamming someone in the hospital administration?) and then Torchwood showed up right before the hospital was entirely engulfed in Krynoid fronds.

And then I woke up and was very confused. But pleased.

Because Martha Jones and Jo McDonagh working together are a force to be reckoned with and Parker totally recognized that, and put Eliot and Hardison at their disposal. And everyone eye-rolled when Jack Harkness would try to flirt.

Also, the hospital was sparsely-staffed and there weren't very many patients as I think it was being shut down (and maybe I was channeling St. Elsewhere or something there, idk).

All of which is to say my work listening diet has been a steady stream of Torchwood, Leverage and Red Cap, and Martha Jones is just that amazing so she came along for the ride, too.

Don't look at me, I only work here

1. Things which should probably not be in ones underwear drawer: a scimitar, a unicorn, and a back scratcher. Which is to say, I did laundry and managed to put most of it away.

2. So, Wiscon. I should write a report up, soon. I'm not sure I have much to say, though. It's all a bit of a jumble.

3. I am also oddly bereft, as Motive has also finished off its season. As have Person of Interest and Elementary. sigh. Perhaps I'll pick up Penny Dreadful. (one difficulty is how I keep looking up stuff and going, "that sounds like a great premise, oh, it's all about teenagers. meh" or "that sounds like a great premise, but 90% of the cast is white dudes." sigh. WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE SPY SHOWS FILLED WITH WOMEN SET ON SPACESHIPS WITH SWASHBUCKLING PIRATES. idk. Anyway)

4. I recently was poking the internet about Red Cap's composer and discovered that the man who created and wrote 70% of Red Cap wrote for Person of Interest AND SUDDENLY. suddenly, I know why I loved it even when it seemed to be a dull procedural--because Patrick Harbinson always did witty people and slow-building multiple threads over the course of a bunch of 'stand-alone' episodes. siiigh. (I mean, that's not really true, of course. He was just one of many writers, but looking at the ones he wrote I am not surprised he wrote them) Sadly, his last episode was God Mode (a part of me is filled with glee at the concept of him writing Shaw. And also, now I want PoI/Red Cap crossovers but logistically they would need an in-universe reason for Jo McDonagh to be in NYC or something. idk.)

Possibly with Frost and Neve and Vicary along for the ride.

5. I love Pearls Before Swine.

6. Fancake's current theme is femslash. Go forth! Read! Feedback! Rec!

7. I fell down on keeping track of what I've been reading. Just assume I've re-read all of Marian Devon (Georgiana is probably on the 20th re-read and I'm not sorry because she shoots him), Barbara Metzger, Carola Dunn, Michelle Martin and Carla Kelly. I know I tried to read some Joan Smith, but she just leaves me cold. It's depressing as she's got a massive amount of regencies I could read.
