The Band Gazebo

One week left in school for the year. And if any more of my lot can avoid getting themselves into trouble (today's incident involved the defacing of school property with obscene and inflammatory comments about a teacher and his classmates; resulting in punishment work, letter home, book having to be replaced, banning from the Gaelic Blitz tomorrow and the Gaelic party today) then I will be most thankful.

Also, if I can, in this week, manage to put some level of control on my room (because any sub who walks in there right now will find nothing), to say nothing of the fact that I'll have 30 in there in September instead of the current 23 (yes Minister, budget cuts how are you?) and will have to squeeze desks in accordingly...

Oh well, it's almost summer, and we have our staff night out on Friday and if I can find something in my wardrobe to fit me, all will be well in HelsinkiBabyLand!

Aside from the fact that, as Himself is staying over at work tonight, I sat down to try to write. And I got nothing. Nuthin'! It's most annoying.

Summary: She got a woman's notion is how Jayne puts it ...

A few pieces that I've read lately that I liked...

NCIS
Memories by James - response to a challenge on ncis_flashfic this is a lovely crossover featuring Tony and another character. To say any more would spoil it, but it's genius!

SG1
Recovering the Satellites by synecdochic - I think everyone and their mother has read this one, but it's worth it... the fic that launched a thousand Sam/Cam shippers.

SGA
Six Nights -- I've had a weakness for Beckett/Weir since I saw Before I Sleep (and no, I can't explain why, but this is me, so that should be reason enough) and finding any fic for them is hard. This is a lovely (NC17) look at how they help one another through the aftermath of a natural disaster.

Firefly
The Best Combination by luzdeestrellas - Mal/Kaylee, because I have a soft spot for them. A look at how their relationship might change after the events of Serenity

Doctor Who
The Short Revolution of Time by nostalgia_lj - Doctor/Reinette, AU. With tissues, for it will break your heart.


Battlestar Galactica
Everything Changes by thesocialnorm - a look at Dee in season three, written before the season three premiere, and if it's spoilerific or prophetic in any way, shape or form, I'd rather not know!

( Random little West Wing gossipy snippet )


And now for some fic recs picked up at various places...

The Best Sort of Blame -- Doctor Who Rose/Ten ... the Doctor and Rose discover some other things about his new incarnation.

out of their skies (the light has died) -- Firefly fic, post Serenity... and it made me cry.

Nostalgia -- Wicked bookverse, Galinda fic, set after the events of the book. Galinda returns to Shiz alone.

Dresses of Red and Gold -- Wicked fic, Elphaba's time at Shiz.

Preparation -- West Wing, CJ backstory.

Twenty Random Facts About Ginny Weasley -- Don't usually read Harry Potter that much, but I like the 20 facts kind of fic, like to see how people bring them together, and these 20 facts make one great story.

Some Cold Woman in this Desert Land -- CSI Sara fic, based around Pink Floyd.

As the Blue Bird Sings -- Good NCIS fic is rare, and this is good Abby fic. Set post season three opener.
