Ah Merlin

I was about to head up the wooden hill only to get distracted at the last moment by this interview with the Merlin cast.

Ah, the loveliness. ASH having a ball at getting to swan around in cloaks and be a "complete b*stard". You have Richard Wilson hoping that one day kids won't recognise him because they won't be expecting him to be bald.

But of course, it was a throwaway line from Colin Morgan (Merlin) that made me fluff up with geeky happiness. He was talking about the similarities between himself and Merlin, namely how they'll both give 100% to whatever challenges come their way. For example...( SPOILER for a future scene from some unspecified future ep... )

Right, and now it really is late and I must work again tomorrow. Bah! Goodnight, world.

Feel the bubble of love...

Out of nowhere I've just been blindsided by a flurry of slashy, fluffy loveliness from LJ from various fandoms, some of them not actually my own. Just passing on a few links as they made me smile:

From House, House/Wilson - Isn't It Bromantic?. Utterly charming TV Guide photoshoot of Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard done for an interview they gave regarding the latest season. Thank you viciouswishes for the heads-up!

From Torchwood, Jack/Ianto - 2 pics from S3 shooting (no obvious spoilers). GDL and JB both looking ridiculously fine and possibly making me melt just a bit as I've always been a sucker for the 'eye contact' thing. Thanks this time to rivier for flagging these :)

From Merlin, Arthur/Merlin - "Next Time, I Will Remember This And I Will Say 'No'". PG-13. Manages the odd feat of being simultaneously less slashy than the show (this is scorching UST and clueless Merlin is brilliant) whilst also removing the ambiguity (Arthur may not be clueless but is possibly in denial). Regardless of pairing, the banter between the two is spot-on, nothing like constant put-downs and backhanded insults to make an OTP sail true :)
