Fic rec: X-Men: First Class

"Humane Society" by smilebackwards | Charles/Erik | AU | Once Erik finally allows himself to decide that Charles is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, he spends the next week being incredibly bitter that he's Charles' cat and not his boyfriend. | ~10.000 words

"Erik! Erik!" Charles continues to call, piteously. It's started to rain and he doesn't have an umbrella or even a jacket, just an already soaked through cardigan. His hair is matted against his face and he looks so upset Erik feels his iron will crumple. No one has ever acted like losing Erik was much of a hardship, but Charles looks like it's the end of the world.

Erik pads over to where Charles has slumped down on the steps of an apartment building almost identical to his own. "Oh, do cheer up, Charles," he tries to say, snarky, but it comes out as a sickeningly adorable, "Mew."

I'm so glad the author finished the fic. It's funny and sweet and simply beautiful. What a wonderful feel!good story 8)

Rosemary & Thyme

I was watching Rosemary & Thyme today while eating lunch and they were showing the ep where Garreth David Lloyd guest starred - man, he was such a boy there! All skinny and... young!

I loved this series, Rosemary & Thyme I mean. Rosemary and Laura, two completely normal women in their late 40s, early 50s, gardening and solving murders and generally being awesome, not needing a man to prop them up and having their own little gardening company consisting of just the two of them... Gosh!

It's too sad that ITV canceled it after only three short seasons, even though the fourth one was all ready to start filming, so there are only 22 eps...

Also, the show had such a catchy tune. It's stuck in my head! You can listen to it here.
