In the middle of working on book release stuff today, I was overwhelmed by the need to write a missing scene for a particular bit of canon in B5 5x16 (And All My Dreams Torn Asunder) that the show cruelly decided not to show us.

I've read another really lovely take on this piece of missing canon, softer and more bantery than my own: Unsundered by

TerekNope, highly recommended!

Meanwhile I took a swim in the angst pool.

even if the world stops spinning (gen, 2000 wds)
Missing scene for 5x16. A meeting on the docks as Londo leaves Babylon 5.
Also on AO3.

Progress on the show continues, much more glacially now that the storyline I was most invested in has more-or-less wrapped up.

( 5x19 The Wheel of Fire )

- I signed up for

seasonsofdrabbles. Come join me! ~~So I have someone to write for.~~

- After my first

hurtcomfortex idea got increasingly complicated with less and less direct h/c, I now have a new idea that is directly h/c and much simpler. Which is great, because I can tell it's going to be a long 'un. (That's why the writing period for this exchange is so long, right? Because h/c takes lots of words??) So now I have 400 words, and the deadline isn't for like six weeks! Woo!

As is my usual practice, my latest book as Lauren is available for download for my DW circle for the next week or so!

Download from Bookfunnel.

The download will be up until the book goes live on Amazon on May 2.

(Technically this is Shifter Agents #6, but it's a standalone that shouldn't require any context to read.)

I will be going back to answer recent comments, but first, one more stray B5 thought with spoilers through 5x18.

( Tying up a loose end )

storkswap didn't run this year, but we did get a flash exchange in its place, which tbh was exactly the right size of commitment for me personally just now. I wrote and received things!

I received:
the cradle will rock by aguntoaknifefight (

swirlingvoid), Hell Hole (2024), Sofija/Teddy, 1300 words. Remember that tiny horror movie I wrote about a while back with the parasitical tentacle monster that wants to incubate in men's stomachs? I did a short canon promo in my signup, and someone WATCHED IT and wrote me post-canon fic for the very cute het ship and their very alarming monster incubation situation. I love the mix of sweetness and unease in this.

And I wrote:
old hat, new hat, Junior (1994), Alex/Diana, 700 words. Sometime after the movie, Alex is pregnant again, and he and Diana have feelings about how it's going to be different from the last time. You will unsurprised to hear that I absolutely adore this movie, and I was ecstatic to see someone request it. I liked letting them get to enjoy a pregnancy moment together that Alex had to experience alone the first time around.

This is one of the earlier novels that Bujold wrote, and it shows a bit in the prose, but not in the plotting. I think it’s much like Cetaganda in the premise – off-world adventure, Miles refuses to tell his superiors about what he’s doing (oh Miles). The setting of Earth I feel fairly neutral about. London isn’t that interesting, but neither is it a detriment. They’re more like Beta in terms of not letting people carry around deadly weapons, and their tube system is still very good (hooray!) Or maybe I overstate Barrayar’s allowance of lethal weapons – Miles is after all not a civilian and on his home turf.

Now that I've processed a bit, a few more random comments.

( Mostly about You Know and Who, obviously )

Watch Babylon 5, she said. It will be fun, she said.

After the cavalcade of pain in recent episodes, I had a need for some comfort.

Safeguard - 1200 wds, light hurt/comfort, slight AU of the hallway fight in 5x09.

Now that the primary thoughts/screaming are done, a few more random items.

I have just watched through Babylon 5 5x16 and

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT JMS

I thought I was prepared but I was not prepared for the emotional roller coaster I have just been on.

I will write a post about that but first I think I need to lie down for a few minutes.

Yesterday’s four games were all worth watching but it was a long day and I was exhausted by the end. I got back to the hostel and pretty much fell into bed and today has been pretty lazy. I’ve read books and napped a fair bit and got some laundry done. We had fancy burgers for brunch and I found the tiny Czech women’s hockey exhibit in the local museum. I booked some tourist stuff in Frankfurt and Paris to do on our way home. Turns out the Eiffel Tower is already booked out online for going to the top on the one day we are in Paris, I guess I should have booked as soon as we knew that was on the wish list. (We have tickets to the second floor anyway - by the stairs! I may regret this but I’d regret more not making the attempt.)

Tomorrow is a three-game day again, the slightly pointless 5/6 place game (now that the tournament format is changing to snake format rather than pool A/B) between Switzerland and Sweden, and then the two semifinals. Sunday is the bronze and gold medal games, and I plan to be packed Sunday before setting off for the arena, so I just need to fall into bed after getting back from the gold medal game, and fall out of bed Monday morning to start the journey home.

( more nerding about the tournament and expected outcomes )

"Phoenix Rising" and "The Ragged Edge"

( Not actually that spoilery but cutting anyway )

A. and I finished Person of Interest tonight.

( Spoiler-y things behind a cut... )

Now that I've finished it, I can dive into the wiki and the fanfic without worrying about getting spoiled. I'll probably even write some fanfic of my own — based on the parts of the show I enjoyed most and the style of fanfic I tend to write, expect my fanfic to be "season 3 forever."

At any rate, I really enjoyed the series, I simultaneously wish there had been more of it and am glad that it didn't go on so far that it wore out its welcome, and I recommend it to those of you who haven't seen it!

We went to Český Krumlov today, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We got an English-language tour of the old town and another of the castle, and we climbed the tower, and somewhere in all the touristing we also had some delicious food on a terasa looking over the river, and generally had glorious weather for it all. (I think we were the only English-as-a-first-language people on either tour.)

Yesterday I managed to meet up with a local from the Lady Astronaut discord for coffee, and we took her recommendation to go to Český Krumlov by bus rather than train, as the bus stops a lot closer to the old town.

Tomorrow is quarter-finals day, four games more or less back to back from 10:00 to 23:00, getting kicked out between each game for cleaning, and probably living on rink hot dogs. Thankfully Friday is another rest day because we will need it. Although I also want to go to the local museum of South Bohemia, and look at its temporary exhibition on Czech women's ice hockey. Unclear how much of the exhibition, or indeed the wider museum, will have an English-language guide but I may as well try.
