This was an idea that hit me on one of my daily walks and formed too well for me to not write it. If anyone wants to take a pass on reading this one, of course, I'll understand.

Title: Healers
Fandom: Iron Fist/Defenders
Characters: Colleen, Claire
Disclaimer: Hey, the rights are reverted back now for both these two.
Warning: The pandemic, also the Blip, with one permanent minor character death
Note: I have headcanons about what happened with the Netflix characters during the Blip, mostly involving Wong gathering everyone left in New York to work together during it, and that has a heavy influence on this.

They probably all have a patient selected for her, hoping she shows up. They know she doesn't like to chose herself. )

We're getting the carpet replaced in the library backrooms this week, and yesterday, they started slightly ahead of schedule, driving us all out and into the main library in the afternoon. It was a good thing we're closed on Mondays. On my way out, I finally got the message sent around noon of my would-be date for the night cancelling on me. Which left me honestly relieved; it wasn't a date I had been looking forward to that much. It was only when sitting in an Italian restaurant in Old Town later (didn't care for their pasta, sadly) that I found out my acting boss had been replaced by another acting boss for the second time in recent years. I'll worry about him if he's still around once the all the new carpet's down.
Then I got home, and was finally able to fix the cover art on my latest podfic, so I can finally post it:

Title: Nemesis
Author: Sholio
Original Fic: Here
Fandom: Iron Fist
Characters: Colleen/Danny, Misty, Ward
Music: "Long Way Round" by Eagle-Eye Cherry
Disclaimer: Universe owned by Marvel & Disney. Original fic by Sholio. Music isn't mine either.
Warning: Vague talk of sex and violence
Notes: Still getting the hang of how people so this soundwise and musicwise...

Starting to get a little nervous about how many more of these I can finish before Endgame comes out; I'll probably have to settle on an endpoint come March. This may well be the last Netflix one, or I might find time to do Bess Mahoney. Or Beth Quinn; she deserves more than to just be the woman who got shot, and it would be good to get a look at Middle America.

Sherry Yang, Six Weeks Later )

Around the time I saw the Google logo grayed out this morning, I started to think that this whole thing is getting ridiculous, especially for a guy a lot of people actually have very good reason not to mourn. I may flee to the movies today. But first, I'm getting this up, having finished it this morning.

Bethany, Eleven Days Later )

By the way, anyone know where I can find some comics featuring Aleta Ogord? I kind of want to do her next.

Colleen Wing, Ten Days Later )

Summer officially doesn't end for another ten days or so, but right now, it feels like fall has started suddenly, temperatures dropping and downpours coming in. And we're not even sure yet if the hurricane's going to hit us. My sister has basically been out of the area for a week and a half now; one of the media outlets she works for sent her to where they're about to start filming the Downtown Abbey movie, and she only got back today-to the news Florence's eye might pass through Quantico, only ten minutes from where she lives! We still don't really know how to deal with hurricanes up here.
I've been doing the blogging since we got back, though. This weekend I watched far more skating than tennis, between the Russian test skates and other events, and today, I finally wrote an entry on Stolbova & Klimov. And the Dancing with the Stars cast is coming out Wednesday, and I didn't even find that out until this evening! Also trying to watch Iron Fist, one episode per day, because my Misty ficlet's coming up fast (possibly my third next, possibly later), and I figured I'd wanted to get through this season before writing it. And having been spoiled for one big end twist, I already know I was dead right there. I actually don't mind knowing already; gives me more time to figure out what to do with things. Trying to find time in which to finish writing my Pepper ficlet this week, though I doubt it'll go up before Saturday.

Mom has officially gotten permission to do a "literary biography" of Winston Graham. It'll be heavy of the "literary" and light on the "biography," but his writings have always been her interest. She read and blogged about the Poldark books long before this new TV series came out. This also means she'll be spending a month in Britain sometime this summer reading up on the relevant documents. I'm not sure she's been away from home for that long since she and dad were married. That'll be an interesting month for the both of us.
For some reason I'm getting a bunch of messages from OkCupid tonight, including a rude one, one from a guy a little too far south, and one from a guy in India! Does anyone ever seriously manage to form anything through OkCupid with anyone who lives on the other side of the planet? Not something I'm up to, I'm afraid. I also got one from a guy who spends most of his time in Dubai, but at least he spoke of traveling to DC occasionally (I wrote a response, but I think my opinion on Dubai offended him, because he hasn't written since).
Now that I'm done with Iron Fist, I'm all ready for The Defenders to come out. Or maybe it can wait until I finish that Karen writing obituaries fic I've been working on. Looking forward way too much to The Punisher too, although at least, unlike Iron Fist it's not pushing any new seasons of the other four series back to a later premiere date than they'd otherwise have. Seriously, do we have to have a second season of that one?

Tonight, my mother went out to see a cinematic broadcast of a London production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf starring Imelda Staunton. And she got confused as to where she'd put the car, and called me in hysterics, before she found the security office and they helped her find it. Not the most auspicious night before our upcoming beach vacation. Apparently the production wasn't very good either.
Now one episode away from finishing Iron Fist. About time, since they're starting the buildup to The Defenders. Finishing with mixed feelings. The later part of the season is definitely better paced and more engaging than the first half. But there are still plenty of things it doesn't fix, and meanwhile, I'm really not sure how I feel about the whole twist with Colleen Wing.
Wondering if maybe we'll be rid of Trump after all, but also wondering if it'll do much good at this point, unless this whole Flynn and the transition team thing actually takes out Pence too, the investigation first takes long enough to stretch to 2019, and the House flips. But that would be a year and a half away, by which time all the damage may have been done. Meanwhile, they're not even letting us write to the FCC about Net Neutrality any more, and I don't know what happens to any of us if we lose that. Getting kind of tired of Comcast's lies getting tweeted into my timeline too.
Actually, getting kind of tired of all the promoted tweets you aren't even allowed to dismiss any more. It's not to the point where I'm considering leaving Twitter yet, but they are making themselves harder to use in more than one way.
