New Story

[rivkat]

Firefly. Wow. I've never laughed so hard at a torture scene in my life. And none of the characters are rewrites of Buffy/Angel characters, the way that WW characters rewrite those of SN. There's traits, sure, but Wash is more than a little bit Xander, a little bit Oz. If Zoe kicks any more ass, she's going to have to aim at her own backside, 'cause nothing else is left.

Is anyone else watching Taken? I find it interesting and boring by turns. Halfway through, so I guess I'm committed to watching until the end. It's nowhere near the commitment that, say, the last two seasons of XF were.

I have a very strange vertical bruise along my spine at the small of my back. Can't figure out how I got it. My body is as much a stranger to me as anyone else's.

I was reading Derek Lowe's excellent chemistry blog, and the following story came to me, chemistry copied and/or paraphrased from him. I'm not sure it's worth posting elsewhere (nor am I sure it would fit on LexSlash, though it's UST-friendly). Dark Lex. Please comment.

Philadelphia
Summary: There are signposts on the road to darkness. Or, if all men were brothers, would you let one marry your sister?

Edited: go here for the final version of the story.

I think it would fit in Lexslash. I think it makes me want to hide under the covers, eeping v. quietly. But, of course, in a good way. I *love* the biblical references, of course.

Canonically . . . I tend to think that Lex would think about co-opting Lucas, taking him over as he took over the plant. But I'm a romantic that way.*g*

Thanks. I take your point re: coopting, but this Lex is working fundamentally from emotion, however much he thinks he's detached from it. While he might try to get Lucas on his side, I think he'd also have the urge to get rid of Lucas -- truly the prodigal son, evidence that someone else gets the love his father denied him -- and this Lex gave in to that impulse.
