Well that was a barrel of f**king laughs

lonelybritSo, on the bright side, the boiler was repaired very quickly and the house is nice and toasty.
On the bad side, I have discovered one of the cons of being a very very shallow fangirl. As I've said often, when you're shallow it doesn't take a lot to make you happy. Angel giving Wesley a pretty dagger. Colin and Bradley being utter dorks. Ianto telling Gwen "He always cheats". All these will leave me happy and content.
On the flip-side. When you steamroll through a rewatch of The Dark Knight and watch a city's hero get destroyed along with all the potential, newly found faith and hope, and then crash into a prettily read and soundtracked audiobook of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (where Morgana is evil, Nimueh lives in a lake, Lancelot winds up a monk and f**k knows what happens to Gwen), it does leave one feeling mildly crushed. There are times when I wish I could forget that my fandoms and favourite characters tend to wind up six feet under (or in Avalon, or in a rainy alley, whatever, you get my drift).
*sigh* I suppose this is where they say, 'Ah, but that is what fanfic is for...'

There definitely needs to be more the future!fic offerings! Sadly most of the Merlin ones I've stumbled across so far tend to be angst angst ANGST as Merlin wanders through time alone, but every now and then there'll be a good one with an actual happy ending for all - I cling to these ones...
