be_themoon+ still sick! but I'm pretty sure everyone is. :P
+ PRIMEVAL, OMG. This season is killer.
+ White Collar has returned! JOY, etc. And I just remain so pleased that though Neal and Peter are the main characters, they really utilize everyone they've got. Jones and Diana and Sara and Elizabeth aren't just tossed out. Which :D (P.S. LOLZ NEAL TRYING TO FIGHT.)
+ Nikita soon? Yes? I thought it was tomorrow, but I'm not seeing any place saying that. Maybe next week.
+ So they're adapting Being Human to America/Canada. I've watched about half the first season of the UK version and loved it (and then got busy and couldn't finish it).I don't think the US version quite measures up, but it was interesting. I also liked rewatching the UK pilot back-to-back with the US pilot and noting the repetition of certain lines ("It's cold out there without us." "You're a shark. Be a shark."). I didn't like that there was so little of Sally, but I liked the addition of Josh's sister. (If they kill her off, I'll be so pissed.)
+ The Cape is out - very classic superhero, etc. I'm watching for Summer Glau, but the story is interesting enough that I'm not pulling out anyways. At least not yet.
+ I have had my first and second day of classes, and seen all four. I think I'm going to enjoy them (well, not Statistics much, but I won't hate it). I already know one of my teachers is awesome, and the other three all seem very engaging and fun, and the subjects are ones I really like. So yay!
and lastly, this meme is going around again, and I can never resist it.
Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any or all of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, and possibly a short excerpt as well.

Date: 2011-01-20 10:13 am (UTC)"Might Yet Be": Agh, my favorite part was EVERYTHING, for reals. An "[x] things" story for Jesse Flores!! I love that you wrote a Sarah & Jesse team-up after present-day "Born to Run" - and was that a bit of Sarah/Jesse sexual tension, deliciously fraught?? Speaking of fraught (in a somewhat different way), I also love beyond words that you had a Jesse & ELLISON post-BtR team-up. You walked just the right line between seriousness and near-farce - as much levity as could exist within those parameters, anyway - with Jesse and Ellison making their respective contributions toward an attempt at parenting Savannah. My favorite part might be the mini-section with Savannah's POV; it shows both how Jesse & Ellison's respective issues (oh boy) influence their respective approaches, and that they're maybe a little hapless in different areas but not about to give up. On the (albeit haphazard) parenting, on doing what they can to prevent Judgment Day, on any of it. I love how you riffed on the S1 finale John & Derek scene in the park, with Jesse thinking about Derek and how they've loved each other ("Do you think there's a future where we're not together?" "No.") as she watches young!Derek with young!Kyle in a public park. I love how you effectively re-riffed on that scene with Jesse after Judgment Day, now older and going by a different name, but again a resistance soldier, catching sight of a different Riley for the first time. I love how contemplative, almost sweet, these glimpses are. But you know that my very favorite part is Jesse/Lauren; I wasn't necessarily expecting Jesse to tell Lauren about Riley, but Lauren is sharp and she really does pick up on things, said or unsaid. I love the timey-wimeyness of Jesse & Lauren's relationship - that the Lauren who treats Derek and Jesse for the biological agent and thanks them for saving Sydney is also a Lauren who knows about the timey-wimeyness, and when she leaves and finishes her shift at last, is going to her Jesse and telling her about all of it, except for the parts that her Jesse already knows even better. And her Jesse being likewise so relieved that Sydney is alive and safe, among other things, and the actual HUG that she and Lauren and Sydney all share at the end! And Sydney! She's been through a harrowing experience, but she's exactly as resilient as I would've expected someone raised by Lauren and Jesse to be. I love stories with hugs, and I love that throughout the whole "[x] things" you managed to make what could have been really doom-full, shot through with hope instead, without a false note.

What Derek doesn't understand is that they are still the same people, people who have a shared history even if it's from different timelines, who always have been and always will be in love. It's like a web through time - here and now, this Jesse loves this Derek. Sometime in the future, a younger Jesse loves a different Derek. In the future, an older Jesse will love another Derek. This is a constant.

I looooved "naught lovely but the sky and stars" - Anna and Liliandil FTW!! I think my favorite part is that I couldn't really ever tell if Anna WAS Lili, or if they both simply interact with Lucy so amazingly awesomely. :D
