-
Merlin (TV) | Freya/Morgana | M | If Lost
“And all I could think was, I could be at home right now with my kitty on my lap, just stroking my hand over her hair, just like this.”
-
Stargate Atlantis | John/Rodney/Jennifer | M | Pads, Paws and Claws
Every once in a while John is Rodney’s cat. Bonus points if it continues after Rodney gets together with Jennifer.
-
X-Files | Mulder/Scully | PG-13 | The Sin Eater
“Time anomalies are common in encounter zones. I think that whatever happened to you was an accident. That you were pulled along in — I don’t know, in some kind of undertow — that had nothing to do with you or with the aims of whoever was generating those effects.”
-
Fake News | Jon/”Stephen” | PG | A Dish Best Served On Paper
Basically I have them fighting over Horror Show: My Years With Jon Stewart. Remember that toss?
-
Tales of Vesperia | Yuri/Flynn | NC-17 | K-9 Unit
“Well, I figured we’d go with the obvious. You’re the hot young repressed cop, and I’m your entirely too friendly German shepherd.”
-
Installing multiple locks on an old broom closet wasn’t that strange, really, in the grand scheme of things that Tad had done during his time as an employee of Stephen Colbert. It was even relatively normal. Normal like it was the kind of thing that a normal building manager would normally do.
Well… not exactly. But close enough to at least be less weird than some of the other stuff.
-
DC Superheroes | Bruce/Diana, Superman, Flash, Dick/Barbara | T | Escape Artistry
Wonder Woman is eager to learn new things. Batman, less so. Primarily JL animated continuity; some comic elements from as far back as the Golden Age. Complete.
-
Sailor Moon | Haruka/Michiru | T | Duet
“Never before had she been able to play without sight; now she closed her eyes, even threw back her head as the sound pulled her into a sweet, wicked embrace.”
-
Sailor Moon | Inners, cats | PG-13 | Damaged
Set after the first arc of Sailor Moon R. The scouts go to the Negaverse to make sure the youma can no longer come back. But one of the girls is left behind. How will the others react and cope with it? As told by Lita (aka Makoto).

Great. I seem to have gone and broken The Zen and The Damaged.
I’ve outlined the situation on the WP forums, so hopefully help will be forthcoming soon.

Catvertising! This is clearly a Viridian Dynamics project, y/y?
Perspective. The universe, to scale.
Awesome abandoned monuments. They look like sci-fi set pieces, like crashed spacecraft, or the ruins of cultures too ancient to be related to anything we know…but they were built in the ’60s and ’70s.
Chocolate planets! I’d say I want some, but they look too good to eat.
The world’s tallest treehouse! Ten stories high! Amazing.
Look, it’s a baby Internet: what some of the world’s biggest websites looked like on launch date. Google is surprisingly similar. Amazon is surprisingly ridiculous.
Mysterious, anonymous, and AWESOME paper sculptures appearing randomly in libraries around Scotland. Less anonymous, no less amazing: landscapes sculpted from carved-out books.
Multilingual collection of words that have no translation to English. Or so they claim. Forelsket is described in poly circles as NRE; pochemuchka has an equivalent in elephant’s child; pena ajena is embarrassment squick; taarradhin sounds a lot like a win-win situation; guanxi has the definition that many English-speakers have affixed to “karma”. And certain people would recognize backpfeifengesicht if you said “BBC’s Sherlock” (although using German for this kind of list is cheating anyway, as all their nouns are compound anyway).

Sailor Pluto tries to keep up with and repair changes to the timeline caused by an insane future version of herself.

Stephen wants to beat Jon at something. A call back to an episode of the Colbert Report following the 2011 Emmy Awards.
-

Sherlock knew that he could thoroughly rely upon John Watson’s moral sense. And that’s why he knew that Lestrade was wrong, wrong, wrong.

Madoka Magica: first dub episode liveblog! February 11, 2012

Got a NicoNico account this afternoon, and jumped right in to the livestreaming as soon as it opened (half an hour before the show began, just to give us all time to warm up). There’s a sidebar for the last few hundred comments (25 minutes to go, visitor count is 7,777), and so far it’s a grand mix of PMMM spoilers, not-quite-related spoilers (Joan of Arc dies! Snape kills Dumbledore! Darth Vader is Luke’s father!), pervy comments, MLP references, crossovers, 4chan memes, shipfights, and someone capslocking the Pokemon song.
I have iffy feelings about the dub based on the trailer. Too much fake-high-voices. We will see if that holds up as the episode goes on.
Fifteen minutes to go. Visitor count: 8,903.
Ten minutes to go. 10,819. “Would you give your laifu for your waifu?” / earnest debate over whether Homura is Anthy or Utena / now there’s Rickrolling / someone keeps C&Ping “GIRLS CAN’T LOVE GIRLS” / “DO NOT THROW SOULS” / someone says this is the Director’s Cut, will have to see if I can spot it / “Spoiler: Jesus is a magical girl.”
