Catching up on the last week or so --

* Yuletide is finished and posted! A full day early, which is almost a record for me, so now I have to dislike myself, too. Good luck to everyone still finishing! Remember, the more you stress, the more bears get their wings! Er, or something like that, I've heard?

* I still haven't watched last week's Merlin. At this point, might wait until just before this week's. Finale, sob. I have so much anxiety over this finale

* I saw Sherlock 2 and MI:4 last weekend. I have not had that much fun at the movies in one weekend in a long time. And wow, slashtastic, if you're into that sort of thing.

We saw MI:4 at the Smithsonian IMAX screen at the Air & Space Museum, which was awesome as always. We have an AMC "IMAX" much, much closer, which is also a nice screen, but if you want the full six-story IMAX experience, you pretty much have to schlep out to the museum.

But the best part was that I idly tweeted that I was seeing the movie and said "Thanks, Smithsonian!" -- and Monday morning, I got a cheery "You're welcome!" response from the Smithsonian IMAX twitter account. I didn't even know they had a twitter account!

* More LJ shenanigans, I see. I don't see much effect from it personally, other than some comm irritations. I really wish I liked Dreamwidth better.

* Just one more week (and a bit) of 2011! Wow, I cannot wait to see the back of it. What a craptastic year.

So, next week looks exciting, yes? I can't believe there are only two episodes left. And I kind of want to go look for spoilers for the finale, but I just can't face it yet!

Title: The Blessing
Author: Cori Lannam (corilannam)
Rating: NC-17
Wordcount: ~4,000
Pairing: Merlin/unicorn, implied Merlin/Arthur

Summary: Set immediately after episode 1.11. The unicorn has come back to life, but it still wants something from Merlin.

Notes: A very, very late entry to the Kinkspiration Round 1 Bestiality Challenge. Many thanks to marguerite_26 and novemberlite for hosting this awesome challenge and bringing more delicious kink to Merlin! Thank you to google for not questioning some extremely dubious search queries. And great thanks to anna_zee, who beta'd this (almost completely willingly!) and pronounced it "not gross or creepy or anything!"


( That night, Merlin went to sleep happy and with a full belly for the first time since Arthur had decided it was a brilliant idea to shoot an innocent unicorn )

So I'm finally watching last week's Merlin. Yes, last week's.

A few notes as I watch on ( Merlin 4.09 - Lancelot du Lac )

Okay, on to this week's....

Argh, so very late on this. And so very long.

Random note: it was really funny hearing John Hurt doing the opening credits VO this week after having just seen him playing...almost the same role in Immortals.

You know what I really need? An autocorrect in Word that will fix it every time I type "Melrin" instead of "Merlin." Which is every. single. time.

Happy Halloween and happy Samhain! It's the last day of my favorite month and the day before my least favorite month begins, so I'm trying to make good use of it (i.e., catching up with online things).

* Today marks the third year in which I have failed to write my Merlin-can-get-pregnant-only-on-Samhain-and-Arthur-finds-this-verrrrrry-interesting story and the sixth year in which I have failed to write my Duran-filming-the-Nightboat-video-OMGZOMBIES story.

* Today is the day before my mom moves into her new place! Yay! Now I have to somehow find airfare I can afford to go out and help her get all her stuff out of storage and unpacked (preferably avoiding the weekend of Survivor Series, including Thanksgivinghahaha, and not using more than a week of vacation time).

* Today is also the last day I can put off writing because tomorrow starts NaNoWriMo. I kind of wanted to do something original this year, but nothing is quite gelled enough yet. But I am going to push myself to do the 1,667 or so words a day and catch up with some of the fic I've been letting slide. Who else is doing it this year?

* So I hear that at the Atlantic City concert this weekend, the boys came out in Halloween masks. Nick, of course, was a unicorn. And Simon was a bull -- and as confirmed on Twitter, John was a cow. So nice of them to dress to match in this as in everything else. *headdesk*
