waking dreams

Title: Family Matters
Author: trillianastra
Fandoms: Inception, Leverage, RED
Characters/Pairings: Eames/Arthur, Ariadne, "Sophie", Eliot, and a cameo by Victoria
Prompt: For this at inception_kink.
Wordcount: 2392
Disclaimer: not my characters, just for fun.
Summary: Eames' sister disapproves of Arthur, because she thinks he isn't committed to her brother. Then Eames disappears and Arthur raises hell to get him back.
A note of explanation: The original prompt was not a crossover. But I have this idea where Eames' sister is Sophie from Leverage, and their mum is Victoria from RED (Helen Mirren's character). I also have this idea that "Sophie"'s real name is Irene Adler, because I'm a nerd like that. Anyway, enjoy...

OK, so, for the first time *ever*, I can actually watch SoA each week as it airs.

...only, now I've seen 3x01 and all I can think is something along the lines of WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE FOR A DVD SET NOW.

Anyway... ( spoilers ahoy )

random non-SoA thing: Leverage season 1 is FINALLY, FINALLY out on DVD over here. I now possess this DVD. I feel an epic rewatch coming on...

I saw it.

I'm not sure what this says about me, but I was left with three enduring thoughts:

1. oh, god, Bradley Cooper... could not get any hotter.

2. I've convinced myself that Lynch is working for Max from The Losers. As is the Other Lynch.

3. I have a mental image of What Happens When Murdock Meets Parker. It involves giggling, and it's beginning to get unsettling...

Also, guess who showed up right at the end?

that's right, JON HAMM. He keeps showing up in things unexpectedly...

But hey, bonus Jon Hamm. And it's not like this film needed any more pretty, after Bradley Cooper AND Patrick Wilson (who, btw, should play the bad guy more often) AND Sharlto Copley.

PS. The A-Team/Losers/Leverage crossover is well into the planning phase... :DD

Title: We Go Together
Fandom: Leverage
Prompt: any, Grease!AU (for kryptic_pear at comment_fic)
Pairings/Characters: Nate/Sophie, Maggie. (Parker/Hardison and Tara/Sterling hinted at)
Warnings: ....it's a Grease AU. Um. No warnings. Very slight spoiler for the plot of Grease, I guess...
Summary: Transfer student Sophie meets Nate Ford during summer break, and is dismayed to find that he doesn't seem to want to know her once school starts again.
A/N: Oh, dammit, I think I made myself ship Tara/Sterling. *headdesk*

:O

( spoilers... )

Yeah, it's been a while (OK, a whole week) since I posted. Or did anything online at all. This is not, as my last entry might suggest, because I was in catatonic shock over the last Dollhouse episode. Much less exciting.

Actually, I went to work last Monday, dealt with ASTONISHING numbers of new registrations (...I think I hit a personal best... don't ask...), and picked up a gastritis bug that's been making the rounds. Cue, two days of not being able to keep anything down (that was FUN), a trip to the doctor for some meds, and a few more days of feeling like crap. But hey, at least I wasn't chucking up at the mere mention of food any more. And I've probably lost a couple of pounds as well.

Now that all that... unpleasantness... is done, and with today being Cold and Grey and MISERABLE, I've been catching up on my TV. This means (this week anyway) Lost, Leverage and Supernatural (also I'm doing a minimarathon of Criminal Minds, seeing as I have about three weeks' worth of eps to watch).

Spoilers ahead, folks. Also, here be CAPSLOCK in abundance....

( Lost 6-01/02 - 'LA X' )

( Supernatural 5-13 'The Song Remains the Same' )

( Leverage 2-13 'The Future Job' )

And finally, some awesomeness:



Green Day and the cast of the American Idiot musical at the Grammys. I need to see that. SO MUCH. Hmmm. Need to find out when it opens, beg/buy/steal ticket, get to New York. (The bummer is that I won't even have my usual consolation prize of buying the OST and filling in the rest for myself - because the music, I guess, will come mostly from the American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown albums, Which I've already got. DAMMIT.)

Well. It's been snowing here for most of the week. It's cold. There's not a whole lot to do other than catch up on TV (and YAY, stuff is actually back post-Xmas).

Thus, today's efforts:

Title: The Boys Watch The Girls Watch The Boys Watch The… Boys?
Fandom: Leverage
Characters/Pairings: Nate/Maggie/Eliot, Sophie, Hardison and Parker mentioned.
Spoilers: None.
Prompt: Nate watches Maggie as she watches Eliot who watches Nate, for pesha at comment_fic

A/N: I think this comes somewhere at the end of Season One. Or maybe it’s the beginning of an AU Season Two, where Maggie’s joined the team. I’m really not sure…

The title is a deliberate misquote of the lyrics to "Music to Watch Girls By", by Andy Williams.

( the boys watch the girls watch the boys watch the... boys? )

AKA the "I am now totally girlcrushing on Parker" Job, for... obvious reasons.
