Children of Earth trailer + Post Exit Wounds fic recs

[51stcenturyfox]

Before the trailer was released, I went through my favorite things set after Exit Wounds and re-read them. If you have any faves to share, please pop 'em in the comments? I love stories set in this time period.

Plus, here's the trailer, too. Like you haven't seen it already. Mmm. Mankissin'! It sucked trying to pause the video to take that still because the next shot? Burned guy. Ew.

Thoughts? You know, I really want to mix the footage with the Never Miss A Beat Kaiser Chiefs video.

Jack and Gwen do not approve of that:

Lovely, lovely prose.

Point.

...*blinks* is that icon snaggable?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Sure. I made that one. (Didn't make this one, obviously. Wish I had, though.)

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

Because Rhys is made of a thousand kinds of awesome?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

HELL YES.

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

Mmm...Rhys...he needs more love in fandom. Mayhaps I should write some G/R one shots...or some J/G/R...or some pre-Gwen R/A...

I sort of like Rhys fic where he's with other people besides Gwen. She can be the third person, though. Or WATCH.

But yes, Rhys doesn't get enough love/fic. And he's a great character.

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

Rhys makes me happy...and I may try to do an AU one where he isn't with Gwen. I dunno. I personally think he deserves better than Gwen, but he loves her so much it's hard not to appreciate their relationship.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

True. I wrote an Adam fic where Rhys was with Tosh. (Yet another thing I did not post.)

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

That sounds like it'd be really interesting...I'd love to read it, lol

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

It was one of those "Five things Adam didn't do" fics. The other things were funny, but that one was serious.

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

Ooh, interesting!

"Creepy juxtaposition, there."

I totally was jarred by that. And almost slightly offended, because there is this sensual man on man kiss, and then this horrifying scream. Almost as if the editor(s) were making a joke about how shocking men kissing is or something.

I don't know, but it really stuck out.

On another note, I really like that they are being pursued by "the state" or whatever. I love that kind of paranoid plot that sci fi does so well.

Not happy that, at least it looks like, there will be little (or no?) Cardiff. Am I right about that? It looks like it may be all in London.

I'm tempted to buy one. I already have the 'do!

My leather jacket is bronze metallic and sort of a Jackie Onassis cropped cut.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

Hot! Bronze! sounds cool. Plus Jackie had all the best fashion.

I love Gwen's hair.

Three favorite things about Gwen:

1. Lips. Pouty, expressive, sexy!
2. Hair. I have always loved bangs. Her hair is good action hair. It is always blowing in the wind, flowing, moving.
3. Thighs--as displayed in Everything Changes when she is trying to stay and awake and write down everything she knows before retcon wipes it out.
