Things People Forgot To Tell Me Were Insanely Awesomely Slashy: Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)

I blame you all! /narrows eyes

Um, so alls I've seen's the pilot so far. But one doesn't need more than "I CHOSE YOU YOU ARE MY CHOSEN ONE" for one to realize that one's show, with one live detective and one dead detective who are MFEO, is made of deeply and passionately slashy abiding love.

I put a call to the good people at uk_telly, but if anyone within hearing distance can hook me up with more eps, I would be, just, oh, there aren't words for how much Bob and Vic love each other I have to see the rest of this show!

(And speaking of Bob and Vic, I have now watched several episodes of Shooting Stars and my wide-eyed wonder at the surrealist, fearless nature of UK TV continues unabated.)

Now. Who can direct me to the good Randall/Hopkirk fic? Or Randall/Hopkirk/Jeannie, or just Jeff/Jeannie, or just Marty/Jeannie, or or or. SOMEONE knows the answer to this.

I've loved these Five Things lists; so neat and quantifiable! I've requested several; here they are for you all to share and marvel in:

Five Things Spike Admires in Angel (But Would Die Before Admitting) by killabeez
Five Things that Kept Markus Alexander from Sleeping With Erin by killabeez
Five True Things Garak told Julian by mosca
Five Things Ryan Actually Likes About Kelly Kapour by mazily

So, quid pro quo, dude, FINE. Ask me for lists of five things and I'll actually do 'em. I'll cap it off at ten requests. Or as many as...there are! CAPPED! kormantic will ensure that they actually get done and posted.

Doctor Who (new), The Office (US), Scrubs, Kitchen Confidential, NCIS, SGA, House, Green Wing, Coupling (UK), Babylon 5, Bones.

Five Times The Doctor Was (Adorably) Oblivious To Rose's Sexual Advances, for thedorkygirl

1. Actually he thought the overcoat might have been a bit much, gilding the lily and all that, but when he came out of the wardrobe room for the first time and saw Rose's eyebrow cock and saw her big toothy smile he decided it must be a smart look after all.

2. It was Rose who'd said, "she should get another go, yeah? Travelling with you's way worth it, and I know just how she feels." And so the Doctor had invited Sarah Jane to come along, and when she refused the Doctor felt so bad for Rose that he said yes to Mickey coming along instead. Give that poor boy the chance for adventure. Show Rose he's not so selfish after all.

3. And it was Rose who'd said, "clearly they chose her for a reason. I mean, beyond just she's obviously clever and bloody gorgeous." Really, it was Rose who saw the promise in Madame de Pompadour, that same good instinct he'd admired in Rose since they'd first met in the shop basement and she'd suggested that a group of idiots in any given scenario's more likely to be students than not. And so he'd invited Reinette to come along too. Give Rose a playmate, and another clever girl in the mix is never a bad idea. History got to remember Madame de Pompadour, and the Doctor would always have Paris, but in the end, time played its usually teasing game and it was Rose who was denied, who never got to spend time with Reinette. The Doctor always felt bad about that.

4. Later, when they were stranded, after the Tardis had been sucked into a black hole, Rose had said, "It could be worse. At least I'm here with you." And the Doctor knew that she meant for him to save her, that she had trusted him to take care of her, and, hell, he'd promised Jackie. "I'll get you home," he had replied, and he touched her hand, and there were tears in her eyes.

5. "How long you gonna stay with me?" He asked, in Barcelona. "Forever," she replied. He squeezed her hand. "Tumbling through space and time at your side." She squeezed back, and looked up at him, and her eyes were clear and blue and honest in the alien dusk. "I think this is what I was born for," Rose had said. "Like I've been waiting my whole life for you." The crescent of the planet's second moon slipped below the horizon, and the pink light spilled across the sky. Yeah, she's got an adventurer's soul, the Doctor had thought, and he couldn't hold back his grin. "Rose Tyler and her love affair with the Universe!" he'd proclaimed, gleefully. "Yeah," she agreed. "The Universe."

Five Things Guy Secretan Doesn't Like About Himself, for mazily

1. The fact that bloody Zurich is a bloody bustling metropolis rich in art and culture, music and cuisine and poetry, and nobody bloody cares because it's in bloody Switzerland and they're all too bloody busy bloody skiing.

2. Hair this good doesn't come easily. He lost a really, no, seriously, really fucking hot bird once because she woke up when he was still under his heating lamp, curlers in and reading Hello! She didn't even say anything, just shoved her thong in her back pocket and called a cab from the sidewalk.

3. Secretly? He's a giant bleeding poofter. Not in the way that he wants to be drilled up the bum, except maybe by Mac, but more in that he's a fucking pansy who just pretends to have balls because he pretended once, a long time ago, and Charlotte'd smacked him in the jaw and it was the best sex he'd ever had. Sometimes he wishes he could find a nice girl who likes Chinese takeaway and old repeats of Blackadder, but instead he finds himself shopping for leopard-print satin pants far more often than one would suspect a reasonable man in his thirties would require new pants.

4. He's always wished he'd found a way to work a weighted cricket bat into Guyball. Now every time he tries to bring his out for the battering round, some git tags him for a foul and he's always stuck sitting the third quarter out from the bench.

5. Left nut's bigger than the right.
