The White Lady (The Witcher)
Hilarious noir AU with Roach as the POV character. Amazing voice! Also, NOIR ROACH.

Don't you know you're life itself? (The History Boys)
Such a good slice-of-life of the boys grown up; great voices all around.

Small Favours (The Mummy)
JONATHAN. I cackled all the way through.

Achilles' Hell (John Wick, rated E)
Hot, hot loyalty porn with bonus age-gap and ASSASSIN LOGIC.

Exceeding Set Tolerances (The Culture)
I could read more than just 1.8K of sentient warship, but if 1.8K is all I'm going to get, I'm going to read the hell out of it.

On the Ice (The Left Hand Of Darkness)
Perfect scenes from Genly and Estraven's time on the ice, with some great humanity to the character voices.

The Harvest of Orhoch (The Left Hand Of Darkness)
Mythology and history from Gethen, in such keeping with the book.

2019 is almost here. Good god. Where has time gone? I feel both old and young at the same time; I suppose that isn't bad. More concrete thoughts and journalling tomorrow, but for now I'm glad that I'm (still) here and that you all are, too. Happy new year, all.

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
