Things I have done this week:
1. Cleaned ALL THE THINGS. (Or at least many of them.)
2. Watched Sanctuary.
Let me tell you about item two! Sanctuary is basically what would happen if Torchwood was a grassroots Canadian organization that employed people who were actually professional enough to not sleep with each other. In case that makes it sound less awesome than Torchwood, I hasten to add that the part of the tea boy is played by Bigfoot, and that the part of the immortal in charge of the organization is played by a badass, competent woman who happens to also be Amanda Tapping.
Amanda Tapping would probably have been enough incentive to get me to at least give the show a go, but we haven't even started our Vancouver Bingo yet! The Lestrade-esque police detective is Kavan Smith (Lorne from SGA), Amanda Tapping's dad is Jim Byrnes (Joe Dawson; I think my joy could be heard from space), Bigfoot is Christopher Heyerdahl (Todd the Wraith, and Halling, and ... probably secretly the entire SGA cast, because he's awesome like that) and he also plays Jack the Ripper, oh my god; and, like the cherry on the awesomecake, Peter Wingfield is James Watson. Who is Sherlock Holmes. Look, it's complicated.
The point is, it was pretty fucking inevitable that I wrote some Sherlock Holmes/Jack the Ripper when the canon gave it to me like a shiny gift of awesome. Um, knowledge of the canon is mildly a good idea? IDK, I think you can probably read it anyway.
Dissect the Suppositions, John Druitt/James Watson. Night after night, I poured my insights out to you, never knowing that the target of my manhunt was the man who dissected my suppositions.
For my next trick, I'll write time-traveling Sherlock!Holmes/Babylon 5!Jack the Ripper. No, not really. Well, probably not. Shut up, I know I have a problem.
