[livejournal.com profile] layla_aaron has written an absolutely lovely fic dealing with the aftermath of the last episode of White Collar [dabs eyes] It's now my personal canon.

ithildin: (Iron Man - da Vinci)
We've been slamming trying to catch up with TV we've missed. Season enders of Chuck, Burn Notice, and Psych were great - especially Chuck! So much squee at Casa de NinIth.

Have given up on American Idol - a cross between not enough time and just generally bleah contestants. Might check back in later.

Still need to catch up on Amazing Race, House, Make It Or Break It, Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother, Merlin, Friday Night Lights, and 24.

Woot had the entire series of Miami Vice for $35 this week. YES! I've been wanting to own that one a lot. And Nin's only seen a few eps, so I can share it with her.

Now for the Iron Man II trailer - was it not awesome? I can't wait! I've come to accept that I'm not going to get to even start on the sequel to Practical Applications before it comes out, so while I still plan for it to take place between the two movies, I guess I'll have to look at the bright side and see it as inspiration for the voices. Nin and I were talking about how what we've seen in the trailers so far will impact Charlotte and Tony's friendship. But I guess I shouldn't mention it here without spoilers, in case there are those of you avoiding the trailers.

Have been glancing/skimming over the meta I'm seeing in regards to AO3 and comments, and comments in general. First off, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees lots of hits but zero comments -- I have a total of one comment there on all the fic I've posted. It's odd how different web spaces have such different culture, isn't it? Second, to repeat something I've said in the past, I love comments and I am not at all insulted by a 'loved the story' type comment. I've never understood why there's the perception that if you leave a comment it has to be some deep multi-paragraph treatise. It doesn't -- or at least as far as I'm concerned. I'm touched that anything I write engenders a comment of any length whatsoever, and I appreciate people taking the time to comment. And it's sure better than the alternative, when you think not a soul is reading. I am writer, see me angst [g] So yes, minimalist commenters are treasured here, trust me on that!

'Treasure'

A wee off the cuff ficlet. Don't ask, I have no idea where it came from. Hope you enjoy it!

Treasure

Swords ring with the deafening scream of metal against metal, men cry out as blade meets flesh, but that is not what draws my eye as battle dances around me. Some might say it heartless, watching her as she fights like a Fury, matching the strokes from men twice her size with a ferocity that makes my heart swell with a strange pride, and not a little lust. But it is not so; it is not lack of emotion, but an over abundance. An absolute certainty that the life of the woman I love shall not be ended at the point of a sword. No, that will not be her fate. What it shall be, I know not. But my one and only certainty is that whatever that fate may be, it shall be extraordinary, like the love I bear for her; now, and into the shades of what lies beyond this life. She was plunder I did not seek, my greatest treasure, one I could not relinquish despite my ever so temporary best intentions. It is a strange thing that a man such as I could merit such a woman, such a love. She would scold me for such thoughts, choosing only to see the man I want her to, even knowing the man I truly am. She seems to sense my thoughts, as she often does, her ice blue eyes meeting mine across the field of battle, the smoke of cannon and musket drifting between us like a morning fog. Then she smiles, and the sounds of mayhem fade away, leaving only us two. My heart, my treasure, my bonnie lass; could a pirate ask for more?
