So rather than going home, packing some, working up a real con report and doing the follow-up stuff I promised, I went to ![[journalfen.net profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stellar_dust's apartment and she mixed us both Sonic Screwdrivers and we watched DW 4x10 and Torchwood (Meat) while I taught myself how to tie cherry stems in knots with my tongue. (It seems like a useful skill.)
DW was generally good, and we spent about ten minutes afterward being annoying-sisters to each other in one of the traditional ways, but it was *creepy* this time (seriously, I bet all the mothers in Great Britain are cursing RTD by now) but OMG, Rusty, DON'T KILL OFF THE LESBIAN. I really, really shouldn't have been able to assume she was going to die the minute she mentioned her ex-wife. That got old a long time ago. Also, I was sad because I assumed the "girlfriend went to alternate universe to get away from me" was a Romana reference but sister pointed out it was probably Rose. Bah. Also, skanky race and gender stuff: I don't want to see that anymore! Arrrg!!
Meat was awesome, my first actual Torchwood ep after lurking the fandom for two years, and Rhys rocks, and I agree with sister (and Jack!!) that Rhys and Jack have mad, mad UST and need to do something about it STAT, preferably with Gwen in the middle and Ianto and Owen off having sex somewhere else, because OMG.
I remember the reaction when the episode first aired - the old-school macros, the anti-gwen panic - but am I the *only* Torchwood fan who's read enough bad Highlander fic to immediately realize why immortal Jack was so determined to give that story a happy ending? God, talk about nightmares, and I hope it never comes out that it actually *did* happen to him (or, bad thought but knowing Jack, he *volunteered* for it.)
So anyway sister also downloaded a bunch of John Barrowman singing showtunes which I need to steal off her hard drive and then bed. But first, for my own memory, list of fics I was told I needed to write while at the con:
Five First Times (Barrayar, Simon/Alys)
the Bel + By/Donna + Alys story I was supposed to write for lgbtfest
the Eroica baseball AU
the dS story where Ray didn't go undercover, he just regenerated.
the Tale of the Five/DW crossover where the Doctor's mdeihei are getting out of control.

Sigh, poor poor book collection.
