Just found out that whilst I was away at work the lawn was finally seeded with grass. Which would explain why the local bird life has been staking out the back, industriously pecking away for the past few days. I think this afternoon will be spent making bird scarers...
Anyway, it's been a most pleasant weekend, with ridiculous amounts of sunshine, good food, excellent company, and of course a bit of retail therapy *happy sigh*
There was also the Robin Hood finale which was so epically bad it became good, quality entertainment for 40 minutes. ( Cut for SPOILERS... )
Anyway, now that's over for a while, let's get back to that new series that launched this year featuring several familiar faces from British TV. If I quote "Audiences clearly loved the first series which featured the cream of British acting talent with gripping 'torn from the headlines' storylines" you will all obviously guess that I am, of course, talking about Law & Order UK. Which has been recommissioned for a further 13 new episodes.
Oh hurrah.
Anyway, moving on. Have some fic recs.
TORCHWOOD: And Indeed There Will Be Time by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kaydeefalls - set post the S2 finale, with Mickey helping out in the Hub. There's a lovely rapport between all the characters, with familiar faces visiting from Doctor Who. This is a good old-fashioned plot-driven tale, though thoroughly bolstered by the emotional tales of its various protagonists, triggered by the mysterious appearance of a man falling through a possible rift in time into the Irish Sea. Cracking example of time being complicated wibbly-wobbly stuff that is highly confusing when you're caught in the middle of the timelines, though highly clear and obvious when you finally get to the end. Assuming you survive that is.
MERLIN: Just Wait For It byseperis - crack. Fantastically funny crack. Ficlet set in the future, where a presumably immortal Merlin is trying to keep an eye on an as yet oblivious, reincarnated Arthur Pendragon. Who has wound up in Metropolis. Which is where I mention that this is a crossover with Smallville with exchanges along the lines of "Do you think I care, you pedantic little alien?". Not quite Merlin vs. Superman, but at the least a clash of personalities. Good stuff.
