I bring you a list of awesome.

1.

capslock_merlin. When I talk about this show it's mostly in capslock anyway, so, perfect. If you don't care about being spoiled for Episode 11, please click here omg.

2.

reel_merlin. A list of suggested movies for claiming. Back to the Future AU? Hitchhiker's Guide AU? JURASSIC PARK AU? OCEAN'S 11 AU?!? OMFG. I DON'T KNOW WHICH TO FLAIL ABOUT MORE AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WRITTEN YETfalskdf';slgk;dfk'g';dal;sfdlk

2a. Ages ago I fiddled with the idea of a Boondock Saints AU where Peter and Edmund destroy shit and kill people in the name of god ~~andthentheyhavesex~~. It's not like they'd be completely out of their element. Aslan is totally Il Duce, but damned if I know who Smecker would be. Caspian is Greenly.

3. Speaking of Boondock Saints, In God's Country is greenapple's drabble-remix of my Boondock Saints fic Big Sky Country and it (the remix) is AMAZING. AMAZING. Connor/Murphy (warning: incest etc), rated R. Big ups to her for condensing 5000 words down to 400. Oh my gosh you guys, BOONDOCK SAINTS. GOOD TIMES. (Also, what is it about a canon with religious themes that makes it so prone to incest?)

4.

amory_vain remixed my Y Tu Mama Tambien fic here, and it is HOT. I, um... didn't do my drabble remix because I never got my assignment, and then I forgot about it. I FAIL REMIXTHEDRABBLE. But I talked to the mods and they say I can get in on it anyway, late as I am. If I do, I'll apparently be drabbling Heroes!

5. I like to go on TV Tropes' Merlin page and see new stuff get added to it after every episode. Is it just me or are the examples for HoYay/FoeYay extremely skimpy. It is not just me. Camelot is totally crawling with STDs. ETA: Was it one of you guys that added that last bit to Hoyay??

LASS LASS YOU READ MY MIND WTF.

i have to get this scene out immediately before you READ MY MIND SOME MORE.

she's taken edmund and lucy out for ice cream at the nearest ben & jerry's -- something normal, she says to peter, who's lying in bed with an arm over his eyes as he alternatively contemplates the museum plans he's sweet-talked out of the records keeper at city hall and the ceiing -- and they're on their way back to the motel when she notices that there are more cars in the parking lot than there were when they left. well, whatever, it's a motel, probably somebody else checked in.

except. some of these cars look familiar, and some of them have plates from their home state, and does one of them have a bumper sticker that says finchley lions?

and then she's reaching for the door, key in hand, peter yells, "susan, it's a trap, it's --"

and then the door opens and gino ventucchio grabs her arm and pulls her inside, shoving her into the wall and bringing lucy in. "where's the kid?" dino falcone barks. "the kid brother, edmund, whatever --"

"he's -- he wanted to go to the bookstore," lucy lies, voice high and scared and breathless.

gino's fingers dig into her arm as he swings susan around. she can see peter lying on the floor of the room, blood all over his face and dino falcone standing over him with a gun in his hand.

"they don't have anything to do with this," peter says, "jesus, dino, they don't have anything to do with this."

"yeah?" dino says, and leans forward, trailing the barrel of the gun up along the side of peter's face, down beneath his jaw, and susan hears the terrified sound she makes in the back of her throat. she reaches for lucy and gino lets her.

there are eight or nine men crammed in here, dino falcone's gang, and god, how did they find them, how did they --

"you know, pete," dino says, "when you ran, you did a stupid thing, bringing your family with you, because it told us where we could hit you and hit you hard."

"jesus, dino, if you hurt them i swear to god --"

"hurt them?" dino says. "oh, i'm not going to hurt them. i'm going to make you watch them die. although," he adds, looking back at susan with her arms around lucy, "maybe we'll have a little fun first. say, if those rumors are true, maybe you want to tell me a little bit about what she likes. are you fucking both your sisters or just susan?"

peter growls, low in the back of his throat. "i swear to god i'll kill you if you put so much as a finger on them."

dino looks back over his shoulder at gino, and gino laughs and grabs susan's chin with his hands. his kiss is rough and penetrating and ungentle and peter shouts, "i swear to god, ventucchio --!" and then he's off her, and reaching for lucy.

there's a sharp crack as lucy's scream is cut off by gino, and while susan's trying vainly to strike out at gino, at the others, she sees dino pistol-whip peter again. peter spits blood in his face.

"you got one of my boys killed," dino says, and peter says, "i didn't, jesus, i didn't know the guard was there, i --"

"you've got nicky's blood on your hands, pevensie," and peter's shaking his head, blood all over his face, and then dino turns the gun on susan.

she grabs lucy, wraps her arms around her sister, and tries to pull lucy's head against her shoulder, saying, "don't look, don't look."

"please," peter says, "dino, please, god, fuck you, do whatever you want to me, kill me, but don't hurt my family, please."

and it's the first time in eighteen years of walking the same earth that susan's ever heard peter beg for anything.
