femgenficathon has come to a close. I haven't read everything (and won't, because there are a ton of fandoms I don't know anything about), but the gems of what I've read:
Do No Harm by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brennanspeaks. (BSG) The story of a mutiny, a medic, and the three patients who stayed with her. Layne Ishay during the mutiny. Bring tissues, because it will break your heart. (And actually, I'm not talking about the end.)
The Supervisor's Tale bya_t_rain. (Harry Potter) Just how did a new translation of The Tales of Beedle the Bard by Hermione Granger make it into Muggle bookstores? Minerva McGonagall explains. I've seen it recced all over, and for good reason. If you've ever spent time in an academic institution, you'll like this one. McGonagall is Hermione's thesis advisor. One warning: if you've been, it WILL give you flashbacks to grad school.
Majesty bykellychambliss. (Harry Potter) Once upon a time, there was a great queen and a powerful witch. . . Normally, I avoid RPF like the plague. This time, I was way too intrigued (helps that it's a gen ficathon.) Minerva McGonagall meets Queen Elizabeth II. Come on. You know you want to read this....
Watched Fringe last night while sewing the wings on a pteronadon costume for Halloween. Hey, BSG? See how they actually REMEMBERED Charlie???? It broke my heart that Charlie died, but I was really glad to see that it had an effect on Olivia. I'm holding out hope that we'll see the Charlie from the other side, though. I like Charlie. The only thing they could have done worse (and they had SO better NOT) is kill Astrid. For Yuletide, I am SO requesting an Astrid fic.
Also, Walter promising 'no students' cracked both Howard and I up. Because you could totally see he was SO going to go there. Hee.
I haven't delved into Flash Forward. It's at 8:00- an awkward time for me as I'm putting the kids down. I think I've hit the "I'm waiting for DVD" point. I also haven't yet watched last Dollhouse. (Is it even on this week? I know the Yankees and the Angels are playing at 7:30 on FOX.) Nothing has me really super-psyched this season, I'm afraid. Although I'm massively enjoying Big Bang Theory.
We also had a Wegman's open near us. It's kind of sad when your big excitement of the week is sewing wings on a pteronadon costume and the opening of a grocery store. Wow, do I need a life!!!!
And to work on big bang. Off I go!
