My Yuletide stories:
Written for me, a delightful Have Spacesuit, Will Travel story in which Peewee grows up just as she should, with lovely details and a real Heinlein-meets-someone-who-can-write-women feel: Document 32 from the Russel Collection, on loan from the Franklin Institute, by Brown Betty.
I wrote two stories: Displacement, Eureka for Am, who asked for Nathan, Jack, beer, wings, a sporting event, and snark. Cheerleading’s a sporting event, right? Sadly, Am seems to be a dropout, but it was interesting to try Eureka, which has more charisma than it has any right to.

serrico. I love Gail, and I love that she almost likes the things Profit makes her do.
Meanwhile, I have fallen in love with the BBC’s Jekyll, six delicious hours of cracked-out psychopathic goodness. E.g., Hyde: “Ever killed anyone, Benjamin?” Benjamin: “Not personally. I have people.” Hyde: “You’re missing out. It’s like sex, only there’s a winner.” Michelle Ryan (the new Bionic Woman) is gorgeous and morally ambiguous at best. The real attraction for me, though, is Dr. Jackman/Jekyll’s wife, Claire. In the first episode, she seemed clingy and useless to me. But I was wrong. She just knows what she wants – her husband, the father of her children – and she doesn’t care what stands in her way, fighting with wit and nerve. (Claire, rejecting Hyde’s claim that he isn’t her husband: “I married one man.” Hyde: “You miscounted.”) Some nice surprises, though a couple of them could have used some extra background, and I’m still mulling over the ending. Highly recommended!

Ooh, except for the bit where Jekyll and Hyde are in perfect syncrony... that really got me going, too. I was... not disappointed by, but perturbed by, the ending, because it wasn't what I wanted and I felt it could have been stronger, but they are making a second season so all is good :)

...although I just realised that it was only on my friend's word, and when I googled it I didn't see anything... I hope I'm right about it.

Also, I have a question, since you are more versed in Smallville than I: I had the chance of getting a few Smallville DVDs at discount, but I didn't know which seasons to go with. I've seen the first two, but I can't recall what I've seen past that.

I'm enjoying the current season of SV much more than the past two; I would have to say 2 & 3 are my favorite seasons -- both start out very well (Heat & Red for 2, Shattered & Asylum for 3). 5 does have the fabulous Lexmas, plus if you enjoy looking at women in bikinis 5 gives us an awful lot of Lois Lane. Though Lois is gorgeous, I think she was poorly integrated into the SV universe -- but I am a big Chloe fan and Lois's rise has necessitated Chloe's eclipse in many ways, so I am not neutral.

As to TSNotD, I see Kip in whatsisface, but I'm not sure I see Peewee in Verity. Still, that's neat, and I hadn't known!
