Aww...

Aww, Ian McKellen babysat Martin Freeman's children while filming The Hobbit:

The actor, who reprises his role as Gandalf in Peter Jackson's prequel to The Lord Of The Rings franchise, stepped in on nanny duties to give Freeman some much-needed time with his wife.

Freeman was separated from wife Amanda and their two children Joe, seven, and Grace, three, for the best part of 18 months during filming, and he was grateful for Sir Ian's help when his family finally joined him on location in New Zealand.

Freeman tells The Sunday Times Magazine, "Yes, I got lovesick. My family would come out for a few weeks then go home again, but over an 18-month period I saw less of them than I'd want...

"When they came over to visit, they had the experience of being babysat by Gandalf. So they were read bedtime stories by Sir Ian McKellen, a man with one of the most beautiful voices in the English language. And that's kind of cool."

This is so lovely... *happy sigh*

Tom Hardy in Locke

Based on an original screenplay from Knight, Locke tells the story of one man’s life unraveling in a tension-fuelled, 90-minute race against time (Knight will shoot in real time over 90 minutes). Ivan Locke has the perfect family, his dream job, and tomorrow should be the crowning moment of his career. But one phone call will force him to make a decision that will put it all on the line.

In real time, huh? Interesting. Pretty much what they tried with 24. Of course, every ep was only 40 min. long, considering the 20 min. long advertisement, so in the end, the time really didn't add up.

Stiles and His Father Fic Recs?

As you know, Stiles and his father are the main reason why I love Teen Wolf so much. But it's a bit hard to find fics that center on them, where Sheriff Stilinski isn't just a footnote.

So far, the best fic I've found is "There's A Wolf-Shaped Float In This Parade" by concernedlily, especially the first part. It's so, so wonderful that I have the podfic - this bit of it is read by the wonderful cath - basically on repeat.

So, I know that there's a lot of TW fans on my flist, people who read fics. Have you come across a really nice portrayal of this father-son relationship? Anything?
