Bones renewed

I know that there are people on my flist who still watch this show, so - Fox renewed Bones for S8: link.

I admit that I lost interest in the show when it became all about lame shipping and the UST and the will-they-won't-they took over completely. It stopped being fun for me and all the obstacles the writers kept throwing in Bones and Booth's way started to make me roll my eyes regularly.

But congrats to people who still watch it!

Podfic rec: Sherlock

I've been a bit quieter than usual these days. Why? I was enthralled by this podfic:

"The Progress of Sherlock Holmes" by ivyblossom, read by cellardoorpodfic | John/Sherlock, John/Mary | Sherlock is head over heels for John, but you wouldn't know it by looking at him. | 7+hr.

Frown. Can’t help it. Concerned. Why does the limp come back? Thought I’d cured that. Shocked it out of his system. His mind is tenacious and stubborn. Wants to punish John, somehow. Make him suffer. “I see.”

What a lovely fic! So many details! The explanation for why Mary called John "James" in one of Doyle's stories. And the boys very much in love yet unable to actually do something about it. Lovely...

Fic rec: Sherlock

"Waiting To Be Known" by soera | John/Sherlock | John Watson has been saving Sherlock's life for a very long time, even if he doesn't know it. | ~7.000 words

John finally turns to look at him. “I’ve seen people destroy themselves through addiction,” he says. “Drugs, drink. I’ve not got it in me to see one more person I love do that to themselves. Call it selfish, but I want you to live.”

“For you?” Sherlock asks softly.

“For you,” John replies. “And yeah. For me. Just for me, Sherlock, can you do that?”

Ah, lovely. So lovely. A time-travel story with a happy ending. And quite original too! Great explanation for all that happened.
