Author's Note: This story is for awanderingbard. Our back and forth comments chat inspired this. It's a bit silly and was mainly an excuse to have a chance for Q and Mrs. Hudson to interact briefly. Sherlock is in a bad mood pretty much from start to finish so please excuse his behavior. In his defense, he hasn't slept in awhile. The song mentioned is this one. It seriously is annoying.

An old meme that I wanted to repeat since being jetlagged puts me in the zone for quick fics:

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you 1-3 sentences of or about it.

Crossovers are acceptable and encouraged.

I have an incredibly difficult time recognizing Henry Cavill's face. Every time I see a picture of him or see him in an interview, it feels like I'm seeing him for the first time. I also had this problem with Brandon Routh. And then the second he stopped being Superman, I could remember his face.

Is my brain doing this to convince me it's not completely idiotic that Lois Lane and the rest of the human population can't recognize Clark Kent as Superman?

UPDATE: Okay, I went through this post in hopes of finally creating a memory of Cavill's face. Aaaaand....nothing. Does he seriously not look different in every single one of those photos?? I think I have a better memory of his body now than his face.

It makes me a bit sad that the Torchwood fandom has gone too sedate to make this cut now.

The penultimate episode was pretty low on the gore and pretty high on the OMGWTF!!

Despite some of the gross things we've seen on this show, the Columbian Necktie thing took the cake for me.

I just read the episode descriptions for the last two episodes of Hannibal.

I might be late to the game when I say that Matt Smith is leaving his post as the Doctor.

At first when I heard this I thought, "That wasn't very long." Only to realize he'd have been at the role for 4 years which is a year longer than David Tennant. Have I really been away from this show for 4 years?? In any case, unless the new Doctor happens to be an actor I adore, I'll probably continue to stay away. Something happened to me and this show when Moffat took the reins and I've never been able to come back fully. I caught a few episodes here or there and I did see the Christmas one that heavily featured Clara. But yeah...the magic still remains rather inert for me.

I wrote something a few days about caging plot bunnies because I still had WIPs that desperately needed to be finished. I always hem and haw over the fact that I have no time to write these days, which is partially true. But the other big chunk is that I'm constantly blocked for writing due to what I'm going to guess is just grad school stress. I tend to write random chunks that never see the light of day because they add up to an actual story. It's terribly frustrating.

Do No Harm - I'm literally one chapter away from finishing this one. It was supposed to be a quick story about John running into Murray and Sherlock being a bastard about it. I've written the first part of the last chapter and I think I'm mainly stuck on how to end it. I feel like the "right" way to conclude would be with a scene between John and Sherlock. But the latter is being extremely difficult. Which brings me to...

Human Nature - This fic is really more than halfway done at this point. Aziraphale and Crowley have discovered what's happening is somehow linked to Lower Tadfield. There is no more set up. I just need to execute the very quick reveal and resolution which should take about 4 chapters. The real issue with this crossover right now is Sherlock. If I could write a meta-fic about this fic, it would be Aziraphale, Crowley, and ghost!John all sitting around a table waiting for Sherlock to arrive and complaining loudly about his tardiness. I think he's off somewhere either sulking in his robe while shooting things or he's found a really great mystery to solve. Either way, he's not being terribly helpful with this one. You'd think he'd get his priorities straight since solving this case would mean John would no longer be a ghost. Err...or rather that's what I'm aiming for. Aziraphale and Crowley will have to take care of the logistics of how that would work.

I found this article extremely hilarious. Mainly because of all the Tumblr excerpts. It's so, so true.
