This journal is f-locked, except for most of my fics and sometimes pic spams. If you're interested in my rantings, personal stuff or whatever, just drop me a comment here (or send me a message). If you friend me and I don't know who you are I'm going to take a look at your journal. Unless it consists entirely of Tweets/Memes/Quizzes or I think that we wouldn't get along, I'm likely to friend you back. :D

I'm mostly using this journal to squee about certain shows/books/comics/movies and post my fics. It's quite rare for me to post anything about RL but it happens from time to time. ☺ If you're looking for my fic Masterlist - click here.

You can also find me on Dreamwidth as ailette . :D

Current obsessions:
Doctor Who (new and old), Primeval, Psych, Stephen Fry, White Collar, The Daily Show, Supernatural, Dollhouse, NCIS: LA,  Terry Pratchett books, Stargate Universe, FlashForward

I love:
The Lord of the Rings (movie) and its entire cast, The Lord of the Rings (books) and Prof. Tolkien, Japan and its culture, my friends, writing, reading (books, fics, you name it), my computer (when its not having some kind of nervous break down), Manga, Comics, anything with feather/wing motives (*points to icon... and username... and Journal header*), the German language ♥, SciFi, earrings, watching my shows without commercials and with original dub, the dozens of sparrows we have in our garden every now and then, Stephen Fry, suddenly finding someone to talk to for hours without realizing how much time is passing, organized chaos, caramel, London, talking wildly with my hands and making crazy facial expressions, convincing someone that I'm right and many, many more. ;)

Beta: Thanks again to fififolle, for looking this over even though it isn't Primeval :D
Warnings: Casting spoilers for the S5 companion (if you know the name, you're fine)
A/N: So, I mentioned I was writing on a post S4-Specials fix-it fic, right? Well, this isn't it. This is something I suddenly got the urge to write while I was planning the fix-it. There's another, Donna centric fic I'm writing on... No idea where the sudden urge to write so much Donna is coming from (well, aside from her awesomeness, obviously). Anyway, this is my first fic with Eleven! \o/ Let's hope canon won't make him out to be completely different.
A/N2: LJ keeps screwing up my header when I include LJ User, WTH is going on? :o


( Life was fun again.  )

Beware, for there will follow a "Why You Should Absolutely Go And Watch White Collar" post. NOW.

Let me start with a list. If you like(d) even just one of the following things, you will enjoy the hell out of the show's pilot:
Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay, Leverage (we have a con man!), Willie Garson, Tiffani Thies, Chuck's Bryce Larkin (Matt Bomer is impossibly even better looking in WC), Diahann Carroll, Marsha Thomason, any of the Ocean's films (or, my persnal preference: The Italian Job), Catch Me If You Can, Slash, awesome!female Characters, Mark Sheppard (who's only in the pilot, but I love this guy ever since BSG and Leverage), fedoras (see pic below), men in suits, witty/snarky/funny dialogue, criminal masterminds, Psych, handcuffs,... um. Breathing?

For all the slashers who don't instantly believe me when I tell them that the two male leads have chemistry like woah, have one of the official promo pics to see that the fic practically writes itself:

A/N 2: This is the promised birthday fic for you, dunderklumpen ! I hope you'll like it. :D

Previous Chapters: Clean Showers , Working Hours , Tell Your Heart and First-Name Basis.

( Connor prided himself on the fact that, very slowly (and with the help of secretly-taken notes), he began to know upfront when James would return home with his face nearly frozen into a professionally blank expression. )

Beta: fredbassett who I owe a severe apology for not thanking her sooner for her hard work on this. So, sorry and THANK YOU! ♥
A/N: I don't know why this always seems to happen when I'm in the middle of a series. Something (or a gazillion things, this time) will come up and stop me from simply updating the story. This time, I vanished from LJ completely for nearly three months. :o Sorry for everyone who was waiting for the next chapter; I hope to post the two remaining chapters until next Tuesday. I missed you guys! :)
A/N 2: And - two weeks after everyone else I just found out that Primeval isn't dead anymore. If you'll excuse me, I 'll go and squee for the rest of the night. :D
Previous chapters: Ch. 1, Ch. 2, Ch. 3, Ch. 4 - or my Master Fic List.

( “Can you see him?” )

I know many people claim that I have a crush on anything that looks remotely alive and is British. Clearly, that is not true. Because I don't like Orlando Bloom.

*clears throat* Now that we have cleared that up, have some screencaps of Ben Miller in the first episode of The Armstrong & Miller Show (which is pretty genius, btw). *huggles DVD*



( Warnings: May cause spontaneous (and perhaps embarrassing if other people are around) giggle fits or drooling. There are some pics with Alexander Armstrong in BDSM wear. There's dancing. Ben Miller's hair is a bit scary. Also, not dial-up friendly. )

A/N: I may have spent the day researching (yeah, let's call it that) Mark Wakeling so really, you can't expect me to write anything useful here. ;)

Warnings: Uh, blood?
A/N: So, this is the Fic of Doom I have mentioned a couple of times. I started writing on it after I saw episode 2.07 and yes, it's fix-it fic. There are no spoilers for season 3 whatsoever, not even teeny tiny little hints.

( Somehow, the words “Another Anomaly opened!” didn’t excite Nick Cutter anymore in the way they used to.  )

A/N: Okay, I did not intend to write this. Or any Danny/anyone. REALLY. But then I read fififolle 's fabulous drabble with these two and... um... I kind of gave in very easily? And wrote this for her. *hides from any more evil bunnies*

( Danny was humming quietly to himself as he made his way out of the steamy shower room and towards the lockers. )

A/N: I'm back again! With the Lester/Connor smut! :D This is actually my first serious attempt at smut in English (and we won't mention the one sad try in German from years ago) , so please tell me what you think! *is nervous* It follows Clean Showers and Working Hours.
A/N 2: Written for prompt #07 Kindness from 12_stories .

A/N: And... my last prompt for story_lottery (#6). Inspired by a long ago holiday in Italy and an over-motivated and completely incompetent entertainer. There's one exercise mentioned that would never ever happen, but, well. It's not too important, so don't think too hard about it. ;)

Beta: The absolutely amazing fififolle . ♥
A/N: Written for prompt #24 over at story_lottery . Originally, I wrote some Fast & Furious fic for this prompt, but it kept on growing and growing. oO; So, instead, have some Lester/Connor! :) This could be read as a prequel of sorts to Clean Showers. I'm saying could because I only realized it after I'd finished this.

( Living with Lester came with many advantages. )

Summary: Nick steps through the anomaly to see that the world has once again changed. He's just not sure if it's for the better...


( Nick liked to think that after everything that had happened to him in the past, he’d become pretty resilient to surprises.  )
