    Summary

    He’d had hope, after those talks, that when the sting of Olympic loss had faded he and Auguste would be able to salvage something of their old friendship. This doesn’t seem likely now. Sorry I gave you a concussion when I checked you is one thing; sorry I beat you out for the gold medal and then had your little brother wear it while I fucked him is another.

    Summary

    This is a complete collection of episode reviews for the Sherlock Holmes series filmed and broadcast between 1984 and 1995 by Granada Television (now ITV Granada) starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke & Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. I re/watched the whole series in the summer of 2017, because the entire world was on fire and I needed a diversion. I have been reading Holmes and Watson as a couple for at least 30 years now, so that perspective informs all of these reviews. There are occasional comparisons to what happened with Sherlock. Also, I usually discuss the canon story on which any given episode was based. As with all the other rewatches posted here, I am critical, but always from a place of love.

     

    All of these reviews were first posted to tumblr and will be cross-posted more or less intact. There may have to be slight adjustments made depending on whether AO3 treats the GIFs properly. Enjoy them again, or for the first time!

    Summary

    We Woosters are almost exclusively terrestrial beings, despite the rallying round to the other galaxies in the last few centuries. Unlike Gussie Fink-Nottle, who had been raring for the greener (and more reptilian) pastures of space since childhood, I was content to stay on Earth. I rather fancied myself like that one chap who was bound in that one thing and considered himself the king of that other thing. Jeeves would know who I’m talking about.

    However, there’s nothing like Aunt Agatha on a warpath to make one boldly go anywhere that she isn’t.

    Summary

    When Sabriel thought of the huge scope of the task she and Touchstone were faced with—nothing less than restoring a half-way functional society to a country mired in chaos—it was terrifying. So she tried not to think of it that way, but to focus on a single step at a time.

    Sabriel and Touchstone take a moment to discuss the future, both general and personal.

    Summary

    He thought of all the pain and death that was to come. There was so much that went wrong in the cultivation world in the next few years. The weight of responsibility felt insurmountable.

    Lan Qiren had never wanted to be a politician or leader. That role was meant for his brother. He had done his best in the years he had led the sect but he was aware that he was not the best person for the job. His interests had always been the academic pursuits and teaching the next generation. How could he hope to make an impact on the mess of political manoeuvring and aggression that was imminent? He decided he could only focus on the events which impacted his family the most. He could save Cloud Recesses from being burned. He could protect both his nephews from their disastrous relationships. He could protect the books they lost in the war.

    Or

    Lan Qiren travels back in time and tries to fix the future.

    Waiting spilled out and followed Erasmus throughout the day, smooth and viscous like oil, snaking about his arms and entwining with Torveld’s hair as he washed it, staining Torveld’s robes as he folded them. At his leisure hours, Torveld brought it to his lips together with the slices of fruit Erasmus gave him.

    Summary

    “Nice,” Drunk Man says, into the crook of his neck, and does nothing else. Wei Ying slowly relaxes, allows himself to pat Drunk Man between the shoulder blades, and sighs.

    “Okay,” he says. “Glad you think so.”

    Drunk Man does not respond. Wei Ying wonders if he went back to sleep, and then takes a further moment to wonder why this always happens to him, why he’s always the one helping a heartbroken twink sober up after a terrible night out or sitting on the curb with a sobbing teenager with a fake ID while they wait for her parents to come pick her up. If only he was as shitty a person as White Mike, he could be home asleep right now and this beautiful man would be passed out in a gutter and probably mugged. Wei Ying looks down at the drunk man on his shoulder, thinks about leaving him to fend for himself, and sighs. Nope. Not on his watch.

    Or: A meet-cute at two in the morning.

    Summary

    "Yes, so embarrassing! I'm so glad you understand my plight!" Wei Ying feels elated. He was prepared to add even more sordid details to his fake story, but apparently, Lan Zhan is already fully invested. This is great. This is wonderful. "So you understand why I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend at my sister's wedding now, right?"

    Silence.

    “Could you…Could you repeat that?” Lan Zhan finally says in a strained voice. “I’m not sure I’m following your logic here.”

    (Or: Wei Ying needs a date to his sister's wedding. He enlists the help of his ex-boyfriend, Lan Zhan. It doesn't go according to plan.)
