Why This Must Be Read: This was written for Porn Battle, and it earns its rating! It's a complete AU with team AR1 as criminals - a heist team, who mix and match with each other in complex ways in their down time. It works really well, but be aware that this isn't a long-term relationship, although they all make it through okay. Hot, clever, and well written.

Driving a car is boring. Which is not necessarily a bad thing! Every time I start a trip, I drive my car in reverse uphill on my gravel driveway like its nothing. Which is amazing! I couldn't have done that on a motorcycle, for multiple reasons, but in my car its trivial.

But with all driving being easy mode, the long straight highways that were already boring on a motorcycle are now that much worse. For some trips I take an early exit off the highway to take back roads to keep myself awake. But I'm trying to get better at highway driving, so I've got a music playlist I'm building, of songs that are both very familiar and high energy to keep me going.

Also I started working on a vid. Not any of the vids I haven't touched in over a year, not even the same editing program, but meh. Its one of those ideas that's not good by any objective metric, just two things you like shoved together.

Author's Summary:

Clint Barton is minding his own business in NYC and meets . . . Jack O’Neill.

Why This Must Be Read:

Spikedluv was doing her own variation of "Into a Bar" starting with Clint Barton and asked for suggestions about who Clint might meet. I suggested Jack O'Neill and this lovely story is what happened.

If you're not aware, Spikedluv died suddenly on February 2, 2026. You can check her last post for links to her obituary, in the comments. I miss her daily posts about everyday life.

Funny how that might work...

rhi: What the cat sees in the mirror: a lion. believe in yourself. (believe in yourself)
[personal profile] rhi
I'm prioritizing getting enough sleep first, then eating right, then exercise.  And, weirdly enough, I am starting to get more energy to catch up on backlogged house projects, and writing, and chatting with friends.  Funny how that might work.

And for anyone I haven't mentioned it to, if you're AFAB and interested in fitness, you may be interested in Roar (if you're pre-menopausal) or Next Level (if you're almost done/done with periods) by Dr Stacy Sims.  I'm finding the advice useful.  Not all of it, obviously, seeing as I'm not an extreme athlete.  I don't do triathlons, say.  But do I hit the gym three or four times a week?  Yup.  So.

Anyway, my goals are to get up to twice the time I can currently manage on an elliptical (so, long enough to 'run' a 5 K) and to finish Deadfall, damn it. After that, the Numb3rs monstrosity. (Length, more than subject matter. It's not tree horror, okay?) And in and through, other short stuff, I guess, but probably the next things will be Deadfall chapters until I'm done.

(Someone help me remember:  I have a Night in the Lonesome October piece to finish, and also the Leverage/X-men piece that's currently at 6 pages and going well.)

Book formats, genres, and sales in the news

brightknightie: Schanke reading Emily's novel (Reads)
[personal profile] brightknightie
I thought that you might want to know about these developments, too:

A few weeks ago, I saw an article discussing how mass-market paperbacks are on their way out, that the last large publishers/printers of them in English will soon cease production of that cheaper "pocket size" book format that has dominated my lifetime. That market has apparently fallen to a combination of e-book readers and non-readers. Also, grocery stores and drugstores and other such grab-and-go places for which mass-market paperbacks were made don't give books as much shelf space as they used to, as you may have seen first-hand. The future of new books is trade paperbacks and hardbacks, apparently, though I imagine used books will circulate as long as the pages cling to their glued bindings. Anything and everything that puts books out of reach for anyone, yet especially the young and the poor, is tragic. (Subscriber gift link to take you, and anyone you share it with, through the paywall for free: "So Long to Cheap Books You Could Fit in Your Pocket" by Elizabeth A. Harris, New York Times, February 6, 20026.)

Yesterday (Valentine's Day, no less), I saw an article reporting that Harlequin/Mills & Boon, the romance publisher powerhouse, will discontinue its historical romance line entirely in English, after having previously pared all historical eras down to just Regency and Victorian. (Medieval, Old West, US Revolution, and many more were all actively published at various times.) I'm not a big romance reader and I don't buy new Harlequin, but... it's always been there. I've read it from time to time from the library, and bought used from library sell-offs or bins outside bookshops, and while too many of the ones I've read were at best ephemeral candy, and a few were absolute wrecks, an equal few were genuinely good or clever or inspiring and have stayed in my imagination. I am a big reader of historical fiction... I can't feel good about history being a fading interest.

GILES: Our new friend Spike. He's known as 'William the Bloody'. Earned his nickname by torturing his victims with railroad spikes. Very pleasant. Well, here's some good news: he's barely two hundred. He's not even as old as Angel is. (frowns) Oh.
XANDER: That's a bad look, right?
GILES: I think your suggestion of running away this Saturday might've been a good one. Spike has fought two Slayers in the last century, and... he's killed them both.

Wonder Man review (no spoilers)

Feb. 14th, 2026 08:02 am
brightknightie: Girl running into the wind with a kite in summer (Enthusiasms)
[personal profile] brightknightie
I finished watching Wonder Man on Disney+ last night (8 episodes, ~30 minutes each). I enjoyed it and I recommend it to general viewers. I think it's very good television. Kudos all around to the creators. I was never fully sure how to think of it until the final episode; the final episode now makes me want to watch it over again with that surety of the thematic and structural lens in place.

It's a thoughtful, self-contained, character-driven, "street level" story of unlikely friendship and self-discovery between two actors, one at the beginning of his career and the other at the end. But, as you know, that makes it also unique, different, unlike what the presumed audience has been taught to expect. This is a clever slow burn, neither an action-adventure nor a sitcom, but a rich blend of tragedy and comedy in the classic senses. And I suspect that's exactly why the executives decided to keep it on the shelf for two years after it was completed, slap the "Marvel Spotlight" label on it, and dump out the entire series on one day instead of releasing one episode per week for buzz to grow. They didn't know what they had because it doesn't look a lot like anything they've had before.

You don't have to know any MCU canon to enjoy this show (though of course knowledge yields fun side connections). And I don't know whether this show will contribute to any MCU canon going forward (though it most certainly could). It can stand on its own two feet as a complete and satisfying story, exactly as it should.

(BTW, for those of us who know the comics canon: almost nothing about comics!Simon carries through here except the names of his family members, the tone of his relationships and outlook, and of course his profession and powers, and that's FINE. I say this as the biggest Scarlet Witch fan you know. ~grin~)

ANNE: He hit you? What were you doing?
KENNY: Nothing, I swear to god. And then after he punched me he threw Les against the wall, about near broke her arm. Next thing I know he's reaching for his nightstick, so I just grabbed Les and booked.
ANNE: You mean he wasn't trying to arrest you...
KENNY: I'm telling you. He just walked up, said 'no loitering,' slugged me in the mouth, and then chased us for a couple blocks before we made it here.

FKFicFest 2026

brightknightie: Nick looking up. (Nick)
[personal profile] brightknightie
If at least 5 people total want to play this year, I will run [community profile] fkficfest, the annual Forever Knight (1992-1996) fic event, again. I'll put up a poll soon, probably next week.

I've got a few more real-life events and obligations than usual this spring, and it looks like we've very unfortunately lost [community profile] everywoman as a summer event, so I'm thinking perhaps June or July this year, instead of the traditional May. (May is the anniversary of FK's finale and premiere both; FK was a mid-season replacement series, making it actually half a year older than HL.)

I am still, very personally and individually -- and I say this here on my own journal, not in the community -- feeling rock-bottom alienated from the dominant preferences of the broader surviving fandom at this point. (This doesn't mean any individual fans; it means approaches and interpretations.) So I will try to take it easy on myself and dial back my own engagement in ways that shouldn't affect anyone else. I'll sit in my corner and muse quietly on old-fashioned takes, like that Nick is right and Lacroix is wrong, vampirism is a metaphor for evils like addiction and abuse, and selflessness is better than selfishness.

"It's time to play the music; it's time to light the lights; it's time to raise the curtain..."

Feb. 10th, 2026 07:30 am
brightknightie: Girl running into the wind with a kite in summer (Enthusiasms)
[personal profile] brightknightie
Over the weekend, I watched the new The Muppet Show one-shot special -- aka backdoor pilot -- on Disney+ (it also aired on ABC), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Consistently satisfied, sometimes delighted. This is the kind of retro comfort genuinely-all-ages TV that I would absolutely watch every week at this time in my life and the life of the world. (See the Wikipedia entry for details.)

I personally felt that it was every bit the classic premise, no unnecessary and unwanted updating. The Muppets are putting on a variety show in their theater, with Kermit as the beleaguered director and host, Piggy as the overbearing prima donna, Statler and Waldorf heckling from the balcony, and absolutely everyone else also in their accustomed roles and specialties, just as they should be. The human guest stars -- Sabrina Carpenter, Maya Rudolph, and Seth Rogen -- did what human guest stars should, which is be funny and talented and charming and not matter much at all, really, because this is the Muppets' show, and we're here for Piggy feeling outraged at Carpenter for wearing her same dress, and for Gonzo blowing his daredevil stunt, and Scooter misunderstanding Kermit's directions, and Fozzie trying to solve problems with prop comedy...

It's not the best episode of The Muppet Show. But it is The Muppet Show (1976–1981): revived, not rebooted.

Abby (TV_Elf) would have made sure we all knew it was coming in advance so we wouldn't miss it on broadcast. She would have enjoyed it.

Buffy flips onto her back, crushing the spider creature against the floor. Faith sees the second spider climbing the wall behind Wesley and draws back her arm. Wesley sees her.
WESLEY: No!
Wesley ducks. Faith snaps the knife into the spider, killing it. The Mayor strides over the box and picks it up.
OZ: Is that all of them?
MAYOR: Ah, not really. You see, there's about fifty... billion of these happy little critters in here. Would you like to see?
The cop finally gets the front doors open. He and the two vampire guards race out of the room.
MAYOR: Raise your hand if you're invulnerable. (no replies) Faith, let's go.
Faith stares at the impaled spider on the wall.
MAYOR: Faith.
Faith stares a moment more, then follows him.
