fic! 'for england, home, and beauty'-- holmes/watson, nc-17

title: for england, home, and beauty
author: cimorene
pairing: holmes/watson
rating: nc-17
disclaimer: these characters are the creations of sir arthur conan doyle, although since they're on the internet i guess they've passed into the public domain. they also owe a good deal--particularly in this story--a good deal to the performances of jeremy brett and edward hardwicke as holmes and watson respectively in the granada productions.
notes: this is a FILM-canon spackle of 'the bruce-partington plans.' i adore written canon, but the film canon's extreme slashiness was what gave me the idea. links to the original story and to my review of the dvd episode (with screencaps) are available inside the story.

(for england, home, and beauty)

what you've been missing

mcdonald's is really horribly bad for you. this guy ate only mcd's for a month for an experiment and is making a documentary. i hope it gets distributed.

i think i gacked the link from dominatemeplz.

shoe lust

ninglor's thinking of buying a pair of boots from john fluevog and holy hell, they ARE gorgeous shoes.

::lusts::

on these lace-up boots ninglor and i and every other commenter in her journal are in agreement. but i may possibly prefer these bond girl boots.

movie.

watched try seventeen, retitled all i want. my god! it was terrible! i didn't think it would be good, but i didn't bet on such horrible writing. franka and elijah, and the gay cowboy and elijah's mom, all turned in credible performances... but that wasn't enough to save it.

watching platoon

hey! willem ass! ( train of thought during movie, up through willem's death scene )

jeeves/wooster cravings

just finished jeeves and the tie that binds. if you wondered, yes, that WAS the tie that binds jeeves to bertie! the end was slashier than i had dared to hope for. am still in awe--that and frustration because i can't find anymore of this pairing, which is quite rare. and i can't write it no matter what k'sal says, because i just don't have the repertoire of literary quotes that i would need to do bertie's pov. and jeeves's would require more thought.

GAH. ::lusts for some::

p.s.: this icon is pure sex.
p.p.s: i haven't spoken to my better half today and am starting to sorely feel the lack, which bodes v/ ill. before her visit i could go a week without a conversation and experience no more than a slight twinge. now it's back to going to sleep depressed if i go a whole day? i remember having some kind of sullen fit, sitting down randomly on the porch crying, sometime last march because it had been four days. ::facepalm::
