Spartacus: Blood and Sand 109-113

( Yeesh, that was BLOODY! )

I'm done with S1. In the end, I fell in love with Andy Whitfield's Spartacus. Liam McIntyre is different - well, of course he is - but definitely not worse. Watching this show, I felt strangely nostalgic, knowing that Andy was dead. It's incredibly sad...

And now I'm looking forward to Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and the introduction of Gannicus. And then Spartacus: Vengeance and the lovely Nasir! I can't believe I fell in love with this show - but here you have it :)

Fic rec: Sherlock

"Shadows on the Wall" by AraSigyrn | John/Sherlock | John came back from Afghanistan psychic. | 18.000 words

Sherlock whisks him away and John marches the whole way back to Baker Street with his back straight and his eyes forward while Sherlock watches and taps away on his mobile. It takes hours and a piping hot curry to purge West's memories but John is able to watch Sherlock, still bundled up in his coat and scarf yell at the TV and smile when he jokes about Connie Prince. It's domestic, pedestrian and...nice. John plays around on his computer, draws the moment out as long as he can. He looks at Sherlock, at the flat and thinks I was happy here and he smiles at Sherlock before he leaves for a fictitious date with Sarah (who's safely on a date with Tim from the x-ray clinic and it would have been nice if he could have said goodbye but she's safe and that's good enough).

What an amazing fic. Reading it, you really get the feeling that John's going crazy. Fantastic!
