"No swinging in your walking, so why should I go your way?"

Remember the Help Nepal charity campaign at [livejournal.com profile] fandomaid I mentioned last month? I bought a fic from the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] stardust_made, and here it is:

The Case Of The Devon Exile - It's Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, from the original stories, in epistolary form. It's lovely and tongue-in-cheek and I adore it! How have I missed these lovely Victorian gentlemen! ♥

In other news, we're two episodes in with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and it is absolutely perfect. It closely resembles the book (there has been a lot of squealing on my part when we first saw Lost Hope), and all the details are incredible, it truly feels like the story came to life. The actors are great, and the special effects are impeccable. The warships, the horses, and even minor things, like Strange's mirror. It's all perfectly woven into the story, to the point that I sometimes forget they are special effects. :D Considering it's a 1000-page-long book they managed to keep the pace brisk without cutting anything important. This series is a delight! *______*

And in other other news Gravity Falls is coming back this July, and we're getting lovely previews from Alex Hirsch on twitter! I'm so happy, I was so sure we would have to wait until late August like last year. ^^
